$4,290+ Unitree R1-A5 and R2-A7 humanoid robots features grippers or dexterous hands, fixed or wheeled base
Unitree has extended its R1 dual‑arm humanoid robot family with new R1-A5 and R1-A7 models, which can be fitted with 2-finger grippers or 3 or 5-finger dexterous hands, and attached to a fixed base or a wheeled base for indoor mobility. The new robots appear based on the low-cost Unitree R1 platform launched last year, which can dance, walk, run, perform kung-fu moves, and chat with users, but is otherwise not overly useful since it lacks dexterous hands. The R1-A5 and R1-A7 won't be able to dance, since they don't come with legs, but the upper body comes with a head and two arms equipped with grippers or dexterous hands, which could perform useful tasks in combination with binocular vision. Four new models are available with the following specifications: They mostly share the same specifications, but the R1-A7 has longer arms and adds 4 degrees of freedom (2 extra per

Author Carlo CarrascoNew Clark City To Host AI Hub Under Pax Silica
Following the major announcement of the United States and the Philippines plan of launching a historic economic security zone of four thousand acres, it was revealed recently that New Clark City (NCC) in the Philippine province of Tarlac has been chosen as the site for an industrial hub focused on artificial intelligence (AI), according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PNA. Some parts in boldface…
The New Clark City in Tarlac will host an industrial hub centered on artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and investments on a 1,618-hectare property.
This development comes as the Philippines formally joins the Pax Silica Declaration, a United States-led initiative that seeks to build a secure, resilient, and innovation-driven silicon supply chain covering critical minerals, semiconductors, AI, and advanced manufacturing.
“By joining Pax Silica, the Philippines is ensuring that our mineral resources and strategic location are not simply supporting global industries from the margins, but are actively harnessed to build the industries of the future,” Finance Secretary Frederick Go said in a statement on Monday.
The country’s participation in this initiative signals its intent to play a more active role in the rapidly evolving AI and semiconductor landscape.
This is in sync with the Marcos administration’s target of establishing the Philippines as a regional AI powerhouse under the National AI Strategy Roadmap.
Strategically located within the Luzon Economic Corridor, the Coordination Office is the first of its kind to be established under Pax Silica. It is being designated as a “Golden Node,” a new model for AI-native investment acceleration hubs.
“The Golden Node is not about recreating the factories of the last century. It is about building the manufacturing ecosystems of the next century – AI-native from day one, anchored in the rule of law, and integrated into a network of trusted nations that will define global supply chain resilience for decades to come,” US Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg said in a separate statement.
New Clark City as next AI hub – Bases Conversion and Development Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua Bingcang said this development places New Clark City at the center of a pivotal transformation, one that will shape a more innovative, inclusive, and future-ready Philippines.
“By establishing this Golden Node, we stand to position New Clark City as a vital link in the global supply chain for advanced technologies and next-generation manufacturing. On the ground, this will translate into more quality job opportunities for Filipinos and greater participation of local enterprises in the growing innovation-driven economy across the globe,” he said.
The BCDA will extend a two-year grace period on lease payments, which will be treated as an unconditional in-kind contribution to support the development of economic cooperation initiatives between the two countries.
Initially referred to as Clark Green City, New Clark City was planned, designed and founded by the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA). It has an area of more than 23,000 acres and is designed to accommodate over a million people. The NCC’s formal groundbreaking happened on April 11, 2016.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Were you surprised to learn that New Clark City has been chosen as the AI-focused site of the 4,000 acre economic security zone of the United States and the Philippines with the Pax Silica initiative? If you have visited New Clark City lately, what can you describe about the place?
