A tech news roundup opens with word that Samsung is heading into humanoid robot production, starting with industrial models before the company looks at bringing robots into everyday homes. The timing lines up with Samsung’s own unpacked event unveiling its next round of consumer devices.

From there the focus shifts to a Volkswagen e-bike carrying rear view cameras, radar based collision alerts, and automatic crash detection that can call for help on its own. There’s also a quick LG Smart TV shortcut for streaming the He-Man movie, and a toy industry trend built almost entirely around cartoon backsides.

Hear what’s driving Samsung’s robot pivot, and how far a modern e-bike has come from the ones in the garage growing up.
