Humanoids on the Line: Nvidia and Foxconn Bring Robots to Houston Factory

Nvidia and Foxconn are preparing to make history with the first large-scale deployment of humanoid robots in AI server manufacturing. At a new Houston facility set to open in early 2026, these robots will assist in building Nvidia’s GB300 AI servers—marking a milestone for both companies in robotics integration.

Key Highlights:

• This will be Nvidia’s first use of humanoid robots in production and Foxconn’s first AI server plant to feature them on the line.

• Trained for tasks like cable insertion, object placement, and assembly, the robots are being developed in-house and tested alongside models from China’s UBTech.

• The Houston site is designed with extra space to accommodate robotic workflows, offering a testbed for next-gen manufacturing.

• Foxconn plans to unveil two humanoid robot types—one bipedal, one wheeled—at its November tech event.

• This move aligns with Nvidia’s broader AI infrastructure push, including new supercomputer plants in Texas with Foxconn and Wistron.

With automakers like Tesla and BMW also exploring humanoid robotics, this collaboration could accelerate the shift toward intelligent, semi-autonomous factories.

INTEL

AI Gains a Human Touch: LAION and Intel Train Empathy into Machines

A new open-source project from LAION and Intel is pushing AI beyond basic emotion detection with the release of Empathic Insight, a powerful suite that enables machines to recognize and rate the intensity of 40 unique emotions. Using synthetic faces and GPT-4o-generated voices, the models can analyze images and audio to interpret nuanced states—from disappointment to pride and even physical fatigue.

Key Highlights:

• EmoNet, the system’s backbone, goes beyond traditional emotional categories, integrating cognitive and social states like concentration and shame.

• Empathic Insight models outperformed popular emotion AIs like Gemini 2.5 Pro, with up to 40% alignment with human expert assessments.

• BUD-E Whisper, their upgraded transcription tool, identifies emotional tone, outbursts, and even speaker traits like age or gender.

• To protect privacy, all data was synthetically generated and curated with psychological oversight.

By combining emotional sensitivity with ethical AI development, this initiative could pave the way for more empathetic systems in healthcare, education, gaming, and customer service.

MANUS

Manus Cloud Browser: Your AI Assistant Just Got Superpowers

ManusAI has unveiled its new Cloud Browser, redefining how automation and user control coexist. With just a single manual login per session, users can experience seamless continuity across browsing tasks. The browser encrypts and stores login sessions—only with your consent—and carries them over automatically in future sessions. This means fewer logins, faster workflows, and zero interruptions while automation runs in the background.

What sets Manus Cloud Browser apart is its hybrid philosophy: automation handles the grunt work, but users retain ultimate control. You’ll always have the final say on critical actions, balancing speed with security. For professionals seeking frictionless automation without sacrificing decision-making authority, this browser just might be a game-changer.

Hack the Mic: Build Voice Agents in 2 Hours for $10K+ Prizes 

ElevenLabs is hosting a fast-paced voice agent hackathon on July 2 to celebrate a million agents built. Create a conversational AI in just 2 hours and compete for over $20,000 in prizes, with bonus rewards from partners like Notion and n8n.

SOFTBANK

SoftBank Eyes $1 Trillion AI & Robotics Complex in Arizona

SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son is reportedly planning a $1T "Project Crystal Land" in Arizona—a mega industrial zone aimed at building the world’s largest AI and robotics manufacturing hub.

Key Highlights:

• Designed to be a U.S. counterpart to China’s tech capital, focusing on full-stack robotics and AI production.

• Would rival and possibly double SoftBank’s $500B Stargate data center project with OpenAI and Oracle.

• Negotiations underway with Samsung, TSMC, and U.S. officials for tax breaks and incentives.

• Arizona chosen for its proximity to chip fabs and existing tech infrastructure.

• Project depends on strong partner alignment and U.S. government support.

If realized, Crystal Land could redefine the global AI supply chain—and place SoftBank at its center.

AI BYTES

Higgsfield Debuts Pack 4 with Five New AI‑Powered Visual Effects

Higgsfield has enhanced its AI-driven video toolkit with the release of Pack 4, introducing five new cinematic effects: Duplication, Sand Storm, Freezing, Diamond, and Roll Transition. These visual elements empower creators to elevate content with dynamic camera movements and stylistic transitions. The launch underscores Higgsfield’s commitment to expanding its growing suite of effects for more expressive video generation.

Deezer Flags AI-Generated Songs to Curb Streaming Abuse

Deezer is cracking down on streaming fraud by labeling AI-generated tracks and removing them from editorial playlists and payouts. With synthetic songs flooding the platform, the move targets bot-driven schemes that inflate streams and royalties.

While AI now accounts for nearly 1 in 5 new uploads, Deezer’s detection model—trained for 98% accuracy—can spot artificial vocals and audio patterns. The platform’s strategy blends AI policing with transparency, as legal pressure mounts on tools like Suno and Udio.
