Humanoids and robot dogs

Tesla trains the robot with the same approach as Autopilot: cameras instead of expensive sensors, training on video and in simulation, one neural network for many tasks. The first production-grade robots work in Tesla’s own factories.

Fact. Elon Musk puts sales to outside customers at the end of 2027.

Russia. American equipment goes to Russia only under a US export license, and such licenses are practically never issued.

Vietnam. No sales in any country. You can join the AbsoTech waitlist.

A robot about 1.3 m tall with electric motors in its joints, cameras and a depth sensor. It walks, keeps its balance and repeats movements recorded from a human or learned in simulation. A programmer assigns the useful work: out of the box it is a platform, not a ready-made worker.

Fact. Unitree listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market on 19 Aug 2026; over 40% of revenue comes from sales abroad.

Russia. No official distributor; the EDU versions contain an American NVIDIA module — a check against sanctions rules is required.

Vietnam. Heineken Vietnam and an engineering university are teaching the G1 to handle boxes at the brewery in Vung Tau.

Each robot does one or two narrow operations: Figure at the BMW plant feeds sheet metal for welding and lays out parts, Digit at GXO carries containers. For all of 2026, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas goes to Hyundai and Google DeepMind.

Fact. Digit is rented out: $8,500 a month plus $25,000 for the launch.

Russia. American robots are banned from export to Russia without a US license.

A soft robot in a fabric suit tidies up, fetches things, opens doors. What it cannot do on its own, it does under the control of a remote 1X operator who sees the home through the robot’s cameras. That is the honest price of an early stage: autonomy grows with every update.

Fact. A factory in Hayward for 10,000 robots a year opened on 30 Apr 2026.

Vietnam. 1X promises other countries from 2027.

Sber showed “Green” in November 2025 and released its “vision — language — action” model Green-VLA openly under the MIT license. Sber’s insurer SberStrakhovanie has already issued the first liability policy for an owner of such a robot.

Fact. Sber promises a line of humanoids; no prices or sales yet.

Russia. We are waiting for sales to open — we are watching and will let you know.
