LimX Dynamics Unveils COSA: A Physical-World-Native Agentic OS That Lets Humanoids Think While Moving

LimX Dynamics announced COSA (Cognitive OS of Agents), a new operating system for humanoid robots that unifies high-level AI cognition with whole-body motion control. Powered by COSA, the company's full-size humanoid Oli becomes the first robot to combine advanced loco-manipulation — walking, balancing, and manipulating objects simultaneously — with autonomous high-level reasoning. Unlike traditional stacks that separate planning from execution, COSA enables Oli to think and act in real-world environments at the same time, responding to voice and text prompts to complete novel tasks. LimX, which recently raised $200M in Series B funding, positions COSA as a foundation for deploying humanoids in homes and workplaces.

Westwood Robotics Unveils THEMIS Gen2.5: First Commercial Humanoid to Manipulate Objects While Walking

Westwood Robotics announced THEMIS Gen2.5, which they call the world's first commercial full-size humanoid robot capable of manipulation on the move. The update enables the robot to walk and pick up objects simultaneously — a deceptively difficult loco-manipulation challenge that most humanoids still handle as separate tasks. THEMIS uses Westwood's proprietary BEAR series proprioceptive actuators for dynamic, back-drivable joint control.

Humanoid Launches KinetIQ: An AI Framework for Orchestrating Fleets of Humanoid Robots

UK-based Humanoid unveiled KinetIQ, an AI framework for end-to-end orchestration of humanoid robot fleets across both wheeled and bipedal platforms. The system coordinates fleet-level operations and individual robot behavior through four cognitive layers — from high-level task allocation and workflow optimization down to task execution using Vision-Language-Action models and whole-body control trained via reinforcement learning. The announcement comes after Humanoid completed a live logistics trial at Siemens processing 60 totes per hour, and secured a deal with Schaeffler to deploy hundreds of its robots across factories. Founded in 2024, Humanoid has quickly positioned itself as a leading European contender in the commercial humanoid race.

Unitree's Humanoid Robot Demonstrates Martial Arts, Signaling Peak Human-Level Athleticism

Unitree Robotics showcased its humanoid robot performing full martial arts routines, prompting IEEE Spectrum to declare that humanoid robots are 'nearing peak human performance.' The demonstration featured fluid kicks, stances, and dynamic balance — capabilities that go far beyond simple walking or object manipulation. IEEE Spectrum's editors noted that peak robot performance likely exceeds what humans can do, and that the industry has yet to effectively exploit these superhuman physical capabilities because current approaches focus on copying human motion rather than leveraging mechanical advantages.
