Genki Robotics, led by Android creator Andy Rubin, says it built its first humanoid with the pitch 'Parts Friday, walking Monday' — parts arriving Friday, assembled over a weekend, walking by Monday, using in-house joint actuators and cameras. Rubin showed the robot (on a fixed stand) to Japan's Prime Minister in Tokyo this week, per photos from the PM's official account. All claims come from Genki Robotics and remain unverified by third parties.
