   A creator breaks down Shanghai's action plan on next-generation smart manufacturing, issued Oct 27: by 2028, full smart-factory coverage at key manufacturers, 500 advanced-level smart factories, industrial robot density of 600 per 10,000 workers, 8,000 humanoid robots in factories, 2,000+ AI manufacturing use cases and a 200B-yuan AI-enabled equipment industry. It also plans 10 "AI + manufacturing" model enterprises and names sensors, servo motors, reducers, industrial networks and compute. The author notes these are 2028 targets, with funding and counting rules pending; see the official Shanghai release.

   The post says ROKAE delivered its 10,000th humanoid force-control arm. Five Helios wheeled humanoids fitted with AR-series arms handle part transfer, assembly and inspection on a humanoid-component line at Schaeffler's Taicang lighthouse factory. It adds that over 80 industrial partners have integrated the arm into production. Figures relay vendor claims.

3. Humanoids join a garment line: Bosideng's Changshu factory uses a sewing-specific embodied model to feed fabric

   ExpandCollapseHumanoids join a garment line: Bosideng's Changshu factory uses a sewing-specific embodied model to feed fabric

   CyberRobooo says the Aitu humanoid now works at Bosideng's smart factory in Changshu, Jiangsu, alongside sewing machines. Using a sewing-specific embodied AI model with vision and tactile sensing, it separates, picks up and aligns fabric pieces and feeds them into machines for collars, sleeves and plackets. The factory tracks orders and quality in real time with over 90% of key processes automated, but flexible fabric handling still relies on hard-to-hire skilled workers. The author sees the opportunity in automating gaps between machines (opinion).

4. Walden Robotics adds a call-for-help head to its robot model, reporting 10x+ fewer uncaught failures in factory tasks

   ExpandCollapseWalden Robotics adds a call-for-help head to its robot model, reporting 10x+ fewer uncaught failures in factory tasks

   CyberRobooo covers Walden Robotics, which adds a call-for-help head beside the action head in its large behavior model; using internal state, the robot recognizes when it can't reliably handle a task, a remote operator steps in, and the intervention becomes training data. Walden reports more than a 10x reduction in uncaught failures in camshaft loading and item scanning, with robots running for hours. Deployments start with conservative help thresholds, aiming to cut interventions so each operator supports more robots. Company-reported figures.
