Live Outdoor Demonstration of Autonomous Robots Completing Barbecue Tasks
The embodied intelligence industry is experiencing a 'false prosperity' with frequent demonstrations of robots performing tasks like folding clothes and serving coffee. However, these demos often mask failures and rely on pre-programmed actions or remote control, raising questions about their authenticity. In contrast, LeXiang Technology recently showcased its Ether large model in a live outdoor event, allowing real-time interaction and interruptions from the audience. On September 16, two robots equipped with the Ether model autonomously completed a barbecue task without human intervention. They managed the entire process from taking orders to cooking and serving, while also adapting to unexpected changes from guests. Despite some errors, the live format highlighted the challenges of real-world applications, emphasizing the importance of transparency in robotic capabilities. This demonstration serves as a critical test of the robots' ability to learn and adapt in real-time, rather than just showcasing perfect outcomes. As the industry continues to evolve, the focus on genuine performance under varied conditions will be essential for advancing autonomous technologies.

Brett Adcock Discusses Figure 04 as the Largest Hardware Advancement for Figure
Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure, announced that Figure 04 will mark the most significant hardware enhancement in the company's history. During a livestream on September 17, he outlined a four-stage roadmap for scaling humanoid manufacturing, emphasizing the need for engineering breakthroughs in the initial stages of development. Adcock highlighted that while financing is essential, it cannot replace the necessity for a skilled engineering team to solve complex problems related to hardware and autonomy. He stressed that manufacturing capacity is ineffective if the robots produced cannot perform the required tasks, placing Figure at the early stages of scaling intelligence. The recent Helix 2.5 announcement revealed 237 successful trials out of 420, showcasing tasks like bed making and towel folding. Adcock clarified that the variety of human activities recorded for training should not be confused with the robot's current capabilities, indicating ongoing development in the intelligence-scaling phase.

Still Installs Automated High-Rack Storage System for 36,000 Pallets in Bramsche-Engter
Still has been commissioned by logistics provider Koch International to install a high-rack system for 36,000 pallets, along with forklifts, in a warehouse located in Bramsche-Engter. Currently, five automated EXV-iGo high-lift trucks transport fast-moving items from the goods receiving area to a separate high-rack storage facility. Three automated MX-X-iGo narrow-aisle stackers then handle the pallets. This installation is significant as it allows Koch International to respond quickly and flexibly to order peaks or changing market conditions without the constraints of fixed conveyor technology, which occupies valuable space. The use of both manual and automated forklifts enhances operational efficiency and adaptability in the logistics process. Looking ahead, the focus will be on how the integration of these automated systems will impact overall warehouse productivity and the ability to scale operations in response to demand fluctuations.
