🚀 Fresh Robotics Intel Just Dropped

China 5×‑ed its robot density in six years and now logs half of all new installs worldwide. Moody’s interactive deep‑dive shows how AI economics + muscular policy are rewriting factory playbooks.

That’s just one bite from this week’s newsletter, which also covers:

* PitchBook’s take on the $2.2 B tidal wave into robotic foundation models
* WSJ’s peek inside “lights‑out” EV plants where humans are optional
* Nature Machine Intelligence’s new “Tree of Robots” fitness taxonomy
* Funding moves that matter — EngineAI’s $139 M Pre‑A++, Bedrock Robotics’ $80 M Series A, and more
* Ten quick‑hit headlines: muscle‑signal tele‑op, soft exosuits, Lucid × Nuro × Uber robotaxis, and beyond

If you scout, build or bankroll automation, you’ll find frameworks, deal flow and competitive signals you can use today.
