IFA 2026 Robot Runway: 11 Brands Take the Stage, Figure Locks In 100,000 GPUs
IFA 2026 held the "Robots on the Runway" robot fashion show in Berlin, where 11 brands (most from China) showcased humanoid, wheeled and quadruped robots, with the focus on agility, sensors and interaction capabilities rather than autonomy. Figure reached an agreement with UK neocloud Nscale to deploy up to 100,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs to train the Helix humanoid robot AI, with an initial compute commitment of $3.5 billion and an intended scale exceeding $6 billion; the first chips will come online in Texas in the second half of 2027. iRobot also unveiled the Roomba Duo prototype, in which a host unit equipped with a robotic arm sends the 3.3-inch-tall Roomba Plus 575 Combo under beds and sofas for collaborative cleaning; no pricing or launch date has been announced.
