China’s Gushenxing-2 Yao-3 carrier rocket lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 07:37 on Nov. 7, placing four satellites — the Guanlan experimental satellite, Yunyao-1 No.28, North University of China No.1 satellite and Juntian-1 06A — into their planned orbit; the flight test completed successfully.

Apple researchers submitted a paper to arXiv on Nov. 4, Perceptive Humanoid Motion from Simulation, detailing HALO, a humanoid autonomous-control system. They deployed HALO on Unitree’s G1 humanoid to transfer simulation-trained motions into unfamiliar real rooms and published data, training and deployment code covering motion generation, tracking, task sequencing and sim-to-real operation. In six unscanned real environments the team ran 360 single-task trials with an average success rate of 91%. In one real environment they ran three composite tasks 10 times each, averaging 70% success; the sequence duck-under-obstacle → walk-to-target → push-box succeeded 50% of the time.
