- CNBC's The China Connection newsletter: Nvidia's humanoid push relies on China-made robot hands
Nvidia has showcased two humanoid robot training packages in recent months, using hands from Sharpa and Wuji, both linked to founders in Shanghai. The Wuji Hand 2 appeared on a slide during Jensen Huang's Oct. 21 speech in Berlin, while the Agile One SN system uses a robot body from Agile Robots, with research institutions such as Stanford and ETH Zurich expected to start using it in early 2027. Nvidia's first reference humanoid design uses a Unitree body and Sharpa hands, with deliveries scheduled from late 2026, though Nvidia did not respond on whether deliveries have begun. Google DeepMind's research lead said Sharpa Wave is stronger than Wuji, while a JoyIn executive found Wuji's hands light and effective but prone to heating up.
- Otto Group and Sereact Bring NVIDIA-Powered Physical AI to Returns Processing
Otto Group and Sereact will deploy AI-controlled dual-arm robots at a logistics center in Poland in two phases, starting with 10 robots and adding 15 more if initial results are positive, for a total of 25. The robots run Sereact's Cortex Physical AI model, which can handle items it has never encountered without product-specific training, and Cortex is trained with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab and Cosmos. Under a Robotics-as-a-Service model, Sereact operates and maintains the systems, while employees shift to supervision, exception handling and quality checks. The project is part of Otto Group's medium-term commitment to invest €350 million in technology and AI, and the group will evaluate a wider rollout across its logistics network if phase two succeeds.
- Physical Intelligence in talks to raise $1B at $20B valuation - Bloomberg
Physical Intelligence is in early talks to raise at least $1 billion in fresh capital, which would nearly double the robotics software startup's valuation to roughly $20 billion, Bloomberg reported. Existing backers Lux Capital and Avenir are reportedly in talks to lead the round, even though the pre-revenue company has no current revenue, following an $11.5 billion valuation earlier this year. Founded in 2024 by former Google DeepMind researchers, the company is building a hardware-agnostic AI platform for diverse robots and earlier this month released beta access to its latest models for outside developers. It faces competition from OpenAI, Tesla and specialist rival Skild AI, which was valued at $14 billion in January and recently crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue.

- SpaceX Could Match Google’s 27-Year Data Center Buildout In 18 Months, Outpace Even Chinese Rivals: SemiAnalysis
SemiAnalysis says SpaceX (SPCX) could build data center capacity matching Google's nearly three-decade buildout in just 18 months, reaching 13 GW by 2027 after raising its target from 10 GW. The firm has identified more than 9 GW of sites, including 3.6 GW under construction, and says SpaceX's build times of about five months at MiniHard and a targeted four months at Gun Range are far faster than the typical 8–12 months. However, it flags a possible power shortfall above 300 MW at Colossus 2, as tracked generation capacity of more than 8 GW falls short of over 9 GW of planned data center capacity. SpaceX's AI business includes Anthropic's May agreement to use all of Colossus 1's capacity and Google's access to about 110,000 GPUs, with a combined annual contract value of $26 billion. SPCX rose nearly 4% to $141.31 on Tuesday, its second straight gain, though it is down 12% year to date.

- Russia Warns of a “Bad Winter” and a Painful Paradox in Europe
Gazprom CEO Aleksey Miller warned that European gas prices could double and exceed $2,500 per 1,000 cubic meters, citing record-low storage levels. European underground gas storage is only about 74% full, the lowest since 2009 and well below the five-year seasonal average of 86%, while Germany stands at about 61.6%. Equinor CEO Anders Opedal also acknowledged storage is at its lowest seasonal level since 2011, and wholesale gas prices hit a near four-year high above 108 USD/MWh in late October. Household gas prices in Germany rose 55% this year, and some fertilizer, chemical and steel producers have cut output, while energy majors such as Shell posted profits of $12.1 billion from July to September 2026. Brussels is pressing ahead with bans on Russian gas, with long-term LNG contracts prohibited from January 2027 and pipeline contracts expected to end in late 2027.
