China's humanoid robots generate more soccer excitement than their human counterparts
While China's men's soccer team hasn't generated much excitement in recent years, humanoid robot teams have won over fans in Beijing based more on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology involved than any athletic prowess shown. Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in fully autonomous 3-on-3 soccer matches powered entirely by artificial intelligence on Saturday night in China's capital in what was touted as a first in China and a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in Beijing. According to the organiaers, a key aspect of the match was that all the participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies without any human intervention or supervision. Girls react to the T1 robot from Booster Robotics after the inaugural RoBoLeague robot soccer competition held in Beijing. AP Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field with agility. They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling. However, during the match several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff, adding to the realism of the experience. China is stepping up efforts to develop AI-powered humanoid robots, using sports competitions like marathons, boxing, and football as a real-world proving ground. Teams compete using the T1 robots from Booster Robotics during the inaugural RoBoLeague robot soccer competition. AP Cheng Hao, founder and CEO of Booster Robotics, the company that supplied the robot players, said sports competitions offer the ideal testing ground for humanoid robots, helping to accelerate the development of both algorithms and integrated hardware-software systems. He also emphasised safety as a core concern in the application of humanoid robots. Workers carry out a T1 robot from Booster Robotics during the inaugural RoBoLeague robot soccer competition held in Beijing. AP "In the future, we may arrange for robots to play football with humans. That means we must ensure the robots are completely safe,' Cheng said. "For example, a robot and a human could play a match where winning doesn't matter, but real offensive and defensive interactions take place. That would help audiences build trust and understand that robots are safe.' A T1 robot from Booster Robotics demonstrates kicking a soccer ball at a fair ahead of the inaugural RoBoLeague robot soccer competition. AP Booster Robotics provided the hardware for all four university teams, while each school's research team developed and embedded their own algorithms for perception, decision-making, player formations, and passing strategies-including variables such as speed, force, and direction, according to Cheng. In the final match, Tsinghua University's THU Robotics defeated the China Agricultural University's Mountain Sea team with a score of 5-3 to win the championship.

AP Mr Wu, a supporter of Tsinghua, celebrated their victory while also praising the competition. "They (THU) did really well,' he said. "But the Mountain Sea team (of Agricultural University) was also impressive. They brought a lot of surprises.' China's men have made only one World Cup appearance and have already been knocked out of next years' competition in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Associated Press

Trump Mobile debuts $499 gold smartphone and US‑centred service
The Trump Organisation has unveiled Trump Mobile, featuring a $499 gold-hued T1 smartphone and a monthly '47 Plan' priced at $47.45. Designed to target conservative consumers disenchanted with mainstream providers, the offering promises an American‑branded telecommunications package with US‑based customer support and domestically produced handsets. Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump introduced the venture on 16 June 2025 at Trump Tower, emphasising the use of US‑made phones and support centres located in St Louis and elsewhere in the United States. The 47 Plan includes unlimited calls, texts and data, telemedicine access, roadside assistance, and free international texting or calls to over 100 countries—features positioned as value-adds for patriotic users. Although marketed under the Trump brand, the company clarified it does not manufacture the T1 device nor operate the network; T1 Mobile LLC holds the trademark licence and resells service through Liberty Mobile, leveraging T‑Mobile's nationwide 5G infrastructure. Planned availability stretches to September for the phone, with service expected shortly thereafter. ADVERTISEMENT Analysts from PP Foresight and Zacks Investment Management flagged uncertainties around Trump Mobile's business model. They cited strategic opacity regarding the roles of telecom partners and the licensed operators, and pointed to the challenge of scaling in a market dominated by Apple, Samsung, Verizon, AT&T and T‑Mobile, which jointly hold nearly 95 % of US wireless subscribers. TMT analyst Paolo Pescatore remarked, 'the devil is in the detail', urging scrutiny of contractual arrangements. Bloomberg and Washington Post reports noted that the smartphone will boast a 6.78‑inch 120 Hz OLED display, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB expandable storage, and a 5000 mAh battery under Android 15, though Bloomberg also flagged inconsistencies in disclosed specs. The gold-coloured design features a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a 50 MP primary camera, though the source and location of manufacture remain unspecified—a significant point given domestic production costs and supply‑chain complexity. Trump Mobile builds on the Trump family's expanding ideological commerce. It joins ventures like Truth Social, crypto ETFs, and previously launched hospitality efforts. Trademark filings made by DTTM Operations ahead of the launch cover rights to 'Trump' and 'T1' for telecom-related goods and services, signalling an intent to widen its footprint into accessories and retail outlets. Supporters view the launch as aligned with nationalist rhetoric, emphasising American manufacturing and values. Eric Trump framed it as 'affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality'. Critics, however, warn of potential conflicts of interest given the president's regulatory influence and the layering of Trump enterprises atop federal agencies such as the FCC. A comparison in the marketplace reveals existing ideologically‑oriented offerings such as Patriot Mobile, which operates under AT&T, T‑Mobile and Verizon networks and supports conservative causes. However, Patriot Mobile holds fewer than 100,000 subscribers, illustrating the scale challenge ahead for Trump Mobile. The telecom sector's capital intensity and entrenched scale present barriers to market entry. Founded on 16 June 2025, Trump Mobile must secure licensing agreements, build subscriber base, and establish brand credibility outside the Trump‑aligned customer segment.
