Centuries, Compressed Overnight

Parameterized quantum circuits achieve humanoid locomotion training with a fraction of the parameters. The first QML system for bipedal robots landed September 2025.

Unhackable Robots

RSA encryption that protects hospital and defense robots can be broken with under one million qubits. NIST's 2024 standards and the NSA's January 2027 procurement gate are rewriting the security baseline.
