Not Being a Follower of Silicon Valley: A Few Young PhD Students Bet on the Integrated Brain of Bipedal Humanoid Robots

This article profiles GongShengZhiXing, a startup founded by 1996-born Ding Pengxiang with a core team of Ph.D. students, all in their twenties. They are developing an end-to-end, integrated "brain" (base model) for bipedal humanoid robots, focusing on full-body dynamic coordination rather than the industry's more common modular, layered approach. The team's stance is that for humanoids to integrate into human environments, an end-to-end model—where a single system handles perception, decision-making, and control directly—is ultimately more efficient and scalable than layered architectures that separate high-level "brain" and low-level "cerebellum" functions. They argue layered systems create information bottlenecks. A key demo shows their robot driving a go-kart at high speed, demonstrating synchronized hand-eye-foot coordination and multi-contact balance—a complex task highlighting their focus on whole-body dynamics over simple kinematics. Technically, their model outputs commands at the joint level and incorporates a "Motion Expert" module and techniques like DriftDistill to simultaneously learn task completion and physical stability from data. Acknowledging challenges like severe data scarcity for full-body mobile manipulation, they employ methods like TrajBooster to synthesize training data. Ding Pengxiang believes true "emergence" of new skills at the joint-movement level is the goal, but commercial viability likely requires scaling to millions of training hours. The team aims not to follow Silicon Valley trends but to pioneer and potentially set global standards in this nascent, unconverged field of embodied AI.

Jensen Huang's Daughter: From Chef to an $8 Million Annual Salary

Madison Huang, daughter of NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang, recently made a rare public appearance in Beijing during the 2026 World Robot Conference. As the Senior Director of Product and Technology Marketing for NVIDIA's Physical AI Platform, with an annual salary of approximately $1.2 million, her visit focused on evaluating leading Chinese robotics companies like UBTech, Unitree, and others. This highlights NVIDIA's strategic interest in the burgeoning Chinese robotics ecosystem, a key battleground for the development of Physical AI—technology that enables machines to understand and interact with the physical world. Huang's career path is unconventional. Initially pursuing her passion, she studied culinary arts, worked as a chef, and later held a marketing role at LVMH. She joined NVIDIA as an intern in 2020 after completing an MBA, quickly rising through the ranks. Her brother, Spencer Huang, followed a similar path, closing a cocktail bar he co-founded to also join NVIDIA, where he now works on robotics software. Jensen Huang has publicly addressed nepotism concerns, humorously noting that some "second-generation" employees outperform their parents. The conference itself underscored China's vibrant robotics sector, marked by Unitree's recent blockbuster IPO and a pipeline of companies preparing to go public. While hardware development and manufacturing are advancing rapidly, industry leaders like Wang Xingxing of Unitree point to the next critical challenge: developing the "brain" or AI that allows robots to perform diverse, unseen tasks based on simple instructions. With massive manufacturing scale and diverse real-world testing scenarios, China is positioned as a central player in the global race to define the future of robotics.

Cao Xi and Zhiyuan Invested in a Post-95s Founder

Current Robotics, a humanoid intelligence company, recently disclosed it has completed seed, angel, and pre-A funding rounds, raising a total of several hundred million RMB. Investors include prominent institutions like BV Baidu Ventures, Hillhouse Capital, Oasis Capital, Monolith, and Qianhai Ark, as well as strategic partners like Zhijin (Agibot), Xinghai Map, and Jike Technology. The founder behind the company is Zhu Yichen, a talented individual born in the 1990s and a former head of embodied AI at Midea Group. He and his team are pioneers in China for early research on VLA and world models. Their work, cited by Physical Intelligence, laid the technical foundation for Current Robotics. Current Robotics focuses on a key gap in embodied AI: **Whole-Body Dexterous Manipulation**. Traditional approaches often separate mobility and manipulation, but real-world tasks require seamless, coordinated movement. Their solution, the base model **Curr-0**, integrates navigation, balance, and dexterous hand control into a single, end-to-end trained policy, enabling robots to perform tasks like moving objects through doorways or clearing a table while in motion. To address data scarcity, the company developed a self-researched wearable data collection system (**HumanEx**) that captures human motions, forces, and visual perspectives in real-world settings like homes and offices, providing rich, scalable, and cost-effective physical data. For rapid evaluation and iteration, Current Robotics has pioneered the use of world models for strategy assessment and post-training. Their recently released **CurrentWorld-0** is an interactive world simulator that supports multi-robot platforms, multi-camera perspectives, and force/tactile prediction. It allows for policy testing in simulated environments, identification of failure modes, human-in-the-loop correction, and subsequent training with the generated corrective data, forming a complete feedback loop. Current Robotics aims to build an infrastructure for embodied intelligence, creating a closed-loop system that connects real human behavior data, whole-body robotic skill learning, and efficient world model-based evaluation and improvement. This approach is designed to accelerate the path for robots to move from demonstrations to performing stable, useful work in the complex, real world.

"Teletubbies" Robot Cleaning Service, $30/Hour, Pure·Manual·Intelligence

Anthropomorphic "Teletubby" robot offers cleaning services in San Francisco at $30/hour, but it's entirely remote-controlled. The robot, created by startup Tau Robotics, can perform household tasks like washing hands, mopping floors, and taking out trash. While the initial demo videos appear impressive and are notably shown at normal speed (unlike many sped-up robot demos), the company reveals the actions are performed via human teleoperation, not autonomous AI. Tau Robotics, founded in 2024, argues this "cheat" is a strategic way to bridge the current capability gap, ensure task completion, and collect real-world home data to eventually train autonomous systems. Their service features three robot models: Chelsea for kitchens/bathrooms, Elon for regular tidying with memory, and Tony for deep cleaning. Priced at $30 per hour, it's cheaper than average human cleaners in the US. The article discusses the broader challenge of deploying humanoid robots in homes, comparing Tau's approach to others like China's Ziliang and the US's 1X Neo, which also use teleoperation. A key reason for choosing a humanoid form is to make remote control more intuitive for human operators. The piece also notes the potential "emotional value" of having a humanoid servant. The service is currently invite-only in San Francisco.
