1. Japan Airlines is putting humanoid robots to work at Haneda Airport: With tourism at record highs and its workforce shrinking fast, Japan Airlines is turning to humanoid robots to keep one of its busiest airports running.
A two year trial launching this month will test robots on baggage handling and cabin cleaning. With Japan's working-age population on track to decline by nearly a third by 2060, analysts expect the government to push humanoids as an alternative.
2. SoftBank is building a robotics company to automate data center construction: As demand for AI infrastructure explodes, SoftBank is launching Roze AI, a robotics venture that deploys autonomous robots to build server farms more efficiently.
The Japanese conglomerate is already plotting an IPO at a target valuation of $100B, a figure even some SoftBank insiders are iffy about. It's a bold bet, but not an isolated one: Jeff Bezos is pursuing a similar vision through his industrial AI startup, Project Prometheus.
3. The US is trying to cut China out of robotics, but it’s easier said than done: A new bipartisan bill aims to ban US government use of Chinese ground robots, part of a sweeping push to cut sensitive tech ties with Beijing.
But there’s a problem:
US firms still rely heavily on Chinese-made components, meaning a ban that moves further down the supply chain could hurt the very firms it's meant to help. Analysts warn the US still lacks a coherent strategy for navigating the broader tech competition with China.
Glad i get to be around to watch.
