🇮🇳 Indian Tech Update ‣ Oct 18 2025 🚨 @GeneralAutonomy has successfully gotten their bipedal humanoid robot to walk. It has taken the team of 10 IITians an entire year to build the robot's stack from scratch including datasets, AI models, electronics, and hardware.

Thank you for the feature @caleb_friesen

Walk, trot, run… loading India’s 1st walking humanoid… loading at a home near you soon!
