- A viral clip from a China-based company shows the AheadForm Origin M1 robot head blinking, nodding, and moving its eyes in footage published on Oct 15, 2025.
- AheadForm says it developed the head as part of efforts to integrate AI systems including large language models with realistic heads so robots can respond in real time.
