DeepSeek + Unitree, robot centaurs, Zoox, Avatar, and more in Humanoid Daily #11

DeepSeek is investing about $21 million in Unitree, but the bigger story is the strategic partnership behind the deal. To oversimplify: DeepSeek will be the brains; Unitree will be the brawn.

Welcome to Humanoid Daily #11!

In this episode, we break down what the two companies have actually agreed to, why Unitree could benefit from DeepSeek’s reasoning and AI expertise, and why it is still too early to say DeepSeek has become ALL of the “brains” inside Unitree’s robots.

Also in today’s show:

• A seven-foot, four-legged rescue centaur robot with horns, glowing eyes and a chainsaw (!!!)

• Avatar Robotics raises $6.5 million for teleoperated industrial humanoids

• Zoox prepares to charge for rides in its controls-free robotaxi

• GAM acquires Schaeffler’s PSC precision gear-reducer technology

• Why DeepSeek’s reported 2.31% Unitree stake needs an important clarification

Humanoid Daily covers the latest developments in humanoid robots, embodied AI, automation and the companies building the future of robotics.
