1.🦾 LimX Puts a Price Tag on Humanoids

LimX Dynamics isn’t just building another humanoid. It’s making one you can actually buy.

Standing 1.65 meters tall with 31 degrees of freedom, LimX Oli starts at $21,800 and comes in Lite, EDU, and Super editions. Developers get full SDK access—from raw sensor data to joint control—so the robot can lift, balance, and even throw in some kung fu.

This isn’t just a demo bot. It’s a customizable humanoid built for labs, warehouses, and anyone serious about robotics.

2.šŸ• Unitree’s Robot Dog Can Carry You

Unitree’s new A2 quadruped isn’t just a research prototype—it’s built for the real world.

Armed with front and rear LiDAR, it has full 360° vision to navigate stairs, rugged trails, and even smash through glass without stopping. It can sprint at 11 mph, haul 25 kg, and walk all day on hot-swappable batteries.

This isn’t a toy. It’s a machine tough enough to carry cargo—or even a person—across almost any terrain.

3.šŸ–¼ļø Google Wants to Edit Your Photos for 4Ā¢

Google just rolled out Gemini 2.5 Flash Image nicknamed nano-banana.

It can stitch multiple pictures together, keep a character consistent across different scenes, and even handle precision edits like blurring backgrounds or scrubbing out stains all from a single prompt.

The tool is already live in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI, costing about 4 cents per image.

Some see it as the future of everyday editing. Others think basic tools are more than enough.

Would you pay for AI-powered edits every day or stick with the free stuff?
