This roundup covers several AI and hardware-related updates:
- China’s first embodied special-purpose robot was shown at a CCTV event. It can climb vertical walls, do grinding with one arm and welding with the other, and is aimed at hazardous work on chemical tanks, ships, and energy infrastructure. Operators control it with a VR headset and remote.
- SK Hynix is reportedly preparing to mass-produce LPDDR6 in the second half of 2026, after finishing product development in March 2026.
- BYD says its humanoid robot will be unveiled in August at the company’s “Di Space.”
- Honor’s RobotPhone has passed 200,000 reservations across channels since July 18.
- Arm and Unity China signed an MoU to integrate Arm Neural Technology into the next generation of Arm GPUs for game upscaling and frame generation, with possible future use in automotive cockpits and industrial edge scenarios.
