China Launches Automated Factory Manufacturing 10K Humanoid Robots Annually

Humanoid robotics has moved beyond R&D into large-scale commercial production. Recent advances from China show rapid growth in manufacturing, deployment, and adoption, reshaping the global tech landscape.

Details:

  • Foshan City launched China’s first fully automated humanoid factory line, producing one robot every 30 minutes with a 10,000-unit yearly capacity. It has also sparked concerns about job loss and military use

  • Agibot shipped its 10,000th robot, reaching the jump from 5,000 to 10,000 units in just three months. Its robots are already being used across logistics, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing

  • Other companies are moving just as rapidly. Unitree is targeting 20,000 shipments in 2026, while UBTech aims for 10,000, giving the industry more real-world data to improve robot hardware and software

As automation increasingly builds more automation, the debate has shifted from if humanoid robots will work to how quickly they will reshape the economy.

The AI your stack deployed is losing customers.

You shipped it. It works. Tickets are resolving. So why are customers leaving?

Gladly's 2026 Customer Expectations Report uncovered a gap that most CIOs don't see until it's too late: 88% of customers get their issues resolved through AI — but only 22% prefer that company afterward. Resolution without loyalty is just churn on a delay.

The difference isn't the model. It's the architecture. How AI is integrated into the customer journey, what it hands off and when, and whether the system is designed to build relationships or just close tickets.

Download the report to see what consumers actually expect from AI-powered service — and what the data says about the platforms getting it right.

If you're responsible for the infrastructure, you're responsible for the outcome.

AI Tutorial

How to Set Up Gemini Features in Gmail in 2 Minutes

Google just added Gemini inside Gmail, and it’s more useful than most people think. In a few minutes, you can search your inbox with plain English, draft replies using the thread’s context, and quickly adjust tone and length.

  1. Check subscription

    Make sure you’re using a Google Workspace account or an “AI Pro” personal account.

  2. Adjust Gmail settings

    Go to Gmail. Tap Settings (top right). Make sure “smart features” are enabled among the available options.

  3. Use Ask Gemini to search

    Press “Ask Gemini” next to Settings and ask it questions about what’s in your email.

    Example prompts:

    “Show me the emails about my upcoming invoices.”

    “Find messages related to the event invite I got this week.”

  4. Start draft

    Enter any email draft. Use one of these to trigger Gemini:

    • Option + H (Mac)

    • Alt + H (Windows)

    Or tap “Help me write

  5. Let it write using context

    Tell Gemini what you want the email to say, and it will draft it based on the existing thread or draft.

    Example prompts:

    “Write a polite reply asking for a quick update and a fresh timeline.”

    “Draft a short thank-you note and confirm I’ll follow up tomorrow.”

  6. Regenerate tone and length

    After Gemini writes a reply:

    • Tap “Recreate” to regenerate it

    • Press “Refine” to change the tone or length

Note: For high-stakes emails, use Gemini to shape structure and wording, then manually verify facts, dates, and promises before sending.

Create Your Own Photo Like This Using the Prompt Below:

Create a 1:1 cinematic product poster (1080×1080) of [BRAND & PRODUCT], centered and fully visible, floating against a clean background inspired by the brand’s core color palette.
The product must remain intact and uncut, but be conceptually split by design:
• One half is photorealistic, showcasing accurate materials, textures, reflections, buttons, surfaces, and premium build quality
• The other half transforms seamlessly into flat digital elements that represent the brand’s ecosystem — UI fragments, abstract tech shapes, interface cards, schematic overlays, soft holographic effects, or minimal glitch-style geometry
Lighting:
Cinematic, high-end studio lighting with controlled highlights and soft shadows, emphasizing form and depth.
Typography:
Bold double-exposure style text displaying the product or brand name, integrated cleanly into the composition.
Official logo placed subtly and professionally in one corner.
