Robotics Frontline — 2026-04-05
This week's biggest robotics story is China's relentless push to industrialize humanoid production at scale, with a new Guangdong factory capable of producing 10,000 humanoid units per year — one every 30 minutes. Meanwhile, FedEx is doubling down on partnerships over proprietary tech to automate its logistics operations, and Manna Drone Delivery secured $50M to expand its U.S. drone delivery network. The overarching theme: robotics is moving from lab demos to mass-scale, real-world deployment at an unprecedented pace.
