Below are the latest findings with their outlet and date, and the companies they name.
At Unitree Robotics’ partner ecosystem conference on October 22, GPT-6 Astra was shown controlling a robot without prior task-specific training to paint with watercolors and autonomously rinse its brush in a water bowl when changing colors.
Caixin · OpenAI, UnitreeUnitree Robotics founder Wang Xingxing said the company had internally tested GPT-6 controlling robots without additional training, with the model handling part of robot planning. Unitree Robotics is also developing an in-house model and collaborating with domestic and international large-model companies to advance physical AI.
Yicai · UnitreeOn October 22, 2026, Körber announced an investment in Germany-based NAiSE GmbH, combining their capabilities in vendor-agnostic fleet management for intralogistics.
PR Newswire, all releases · Körber, NAiSE GmbHThe ex-U.S. Navy vessel completed sea trials operating autonomously in high-stakes testing off the California coast.
Interesting Engineering · Anduril, HD HyundaiLDROBOT signed the acquisition agreement through its Singapore subsidiary and will acquire an equity stake in SABO Holding GmbH. SABO distributes premium garden equipment through more than 1,400 specialist retail outlets across Europe, giving LDROBOT a distribution channel for its robotic lawn mowers.
Robot News · LDROBOT, SABO Holding GmbHIntel plans to significantly expand cooperation with South Korean companies and the government. John Healy, Intel’s vice president responsible for industrial robotics in the Client Computing and Physical AI Group, met with South Korean stakeholders on October 15, 2026.
