扛不住了,人形机器人企业批量倒闭

拿到最后一笔堪称杯水车薪的 15万美元(约合人民币102万) 的融资后,这家明星人形机器人企业又撑了几个月,最终还是走向了倒塌。 今年2月初,美国人形机器人创企 Cartwheel Robotics 宣布倒闭。创始人曾先后任职波士顿动力、迪士尼梦想工程,行业经验丰富。这家公司靠着一个7个人的团队,在成立的一年内就造出来两款人形机器人产品。 这不是孤例,2025年开始,从硅谷新星到欧洲老牌,K-Scale Labs、Rethink Robotics、Aldebaran等一批机器人企业因为资金链问题,在量产前夜接连折戟。 与此同时,中国人形机器人企业的融资节奏却越来越快,金额屡创新高。 2025年以来,中国部分人形机器人企业大额融资情况统计 一边是热钱涌动,一边是资金枯竭,人形机器人赛道正上演着一场冰火两重天的分化。那些倒下的欧美公司,究竟没能跨过哪道坎? 01.创始人曾参与打造波士顿动力Atlas、迪士尼机器人 回看创始人Scott LaValley的职业履历,可以说很耀眼。 他在波士顿动力从事早期 双足机器人Petman 的研发工作长达约七年,直到公司被谷歌收购。 之后,他又在谷歌的母公司Alphabet继续工作了两年,担任 初代Atlas机器人 的高级机械设计工程师,相关研发还参与了DARPA机器人挑战赛。 Petman机器人 2016年,他转战迪士尼幻想工程,在这里呆了五年,亲

Ao vivo: robôs humanoides trabalham sem parar há mais de 170 horas!

Figure AI's humanoid robots successfully completed over 170 consecutive hours of fully autonomous package sorting in a logistics center during a live-streamed product demonstration. This extended test, initially planned for eight hours, was prolonged after the American startup observed zero system failures from the three deployed units, showcasing significant operational endurance.

→ This prolonged, fault-free autonomous operation of humanoid robots in a real-world logistics environment validates their increasing reliability and readiness for industrial deployment, potentially accelerating investment and adoption in automation solutions.
Figure AI's humanoid robots operated for over 170 consecutive hours autonomously.The operation involved three humanoid units performing package sorting in a logistics center.The test was prolonged significantly beyond its initial eight-hour plan due to the absence of system failures.
