余恩源将物流成本拆解为运输、装卸、搬运三个环节，各占约三分之一，并称全球5.3亿物流从业者年人力成本超5.8万亿美元。他认为，自动驾驶仅解决运输问题，而装卸和搬运需依赖机器人，因此新石器正将无人车技术延伸至室内小机器人产品，目标是构建由1000万辆无人车和1亿个机器人组成的无人物流网络，覆盖从运输到末端上架的全链条。余恩源还阐述了构想中新石器围绕物流的四种具身形态：robovan(已经规模化落地)、半具身的装卸搬运机器人、半具身的上架机器人和最终形态的全具身机器人。

目前，新石器已在阿联酋、东南亚等地落地，并计划进入沙特、阿曼及欧洲多国。余恩源称，中国无人车在海外市场具有明显先发优势，若叠加装卸搬运机器人能力，有望重塑全球物流基础设施。

The streamer has now released a brief but gripping video that offers the first real glimpse into the series. It is directed by M Manikandan, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Kadaisi Vivasayi and Aandavan Kattalai, and marks a much-awaited reunion between the actor and director.The short video is packed with atmosphere and intrigue. Vijay Sethupathi appears in a traditional lungi and shirt, walking with unhurried menace into a festival crowd after tossing a stone to part the sea of people. He moves toward a man, raises a sickle to his throat, and delivers a simple message that lands like a threat from a much larger world: “Shivettan sent me.” The streamer captioned the post with a tease of what lies ahead. “Every crime has a story. Every story has a truth.”Reports indicate that Vijay Sethupathi is also producing the series, which adds another layer of personal investment to the project. Kaattaan also features Milind Soman in a significant role, with sources describing the show as a character driven saga that explores the many versions of a man through the people whose lives intersect with his. This Rashomon-style storytelling approach suggests a narrative that blurs the line between folklore and lived reality.          Every crime has a story. Every story has a truth.#HotstarSpecials #Kaattan | Coming Soon#SouthUnbound #JioHotstarSouthUnbound #JioHotstar #JioHotstarTamil#VijaySethupathi #AjithKumar #Balachandran #PradeepMilroyPeter pic.twitter.com/oG31pLUIa3     — JioHotstar (@JioHotstar) December 9, 2025                    A return to longform storytelling     Kaattaan signals Vijay Sethupathi’s full-fledged return to the web series format after his well-received turn in Raj and DK’s crime thriller Farzi. While he has headlined numerous films across languages during the past decade, longform storytelling is not new territory for him. Long before he became one of Tamil cinema’s most recognisable performers, he played the character Bharani in the Sun TV serial Penn in 2006.However, Kaattaan marks his first lead role in a Tamil streaming series at a time when the digital space is thriving with complex narratives and ambitious craftsmanship. With Manikandan at the helm, known for his grounded filmmaking and soulful writing, the pairing promises something rooted yet unpredictable. Manikandan’s ability to extract emotional truth from ordinary lives and Sethupathi’s instinct for characters who straddle moral greys make this collaboration one of the most exciting ones on the horizon.          The world of Kaattaan and what lies ahead     Although the makers have not shared character details or plot specifics, what is known so far hints at a world shaped by folklore, crime, and shifting identities. The title was earlier Muthu Engira Kaatan and the new version suggests the creation of a larger mythos built around the central figure.JioHotstar has stated that the series will arrive soon, though an exact launch date is still under wraps. The platform’s promotional push indicates that the show will be one of the key titles anchoring its upcoming lineup.For Vijay Sethupathi, Kaattaan arrives in the middle of an especially busy phase. He has Train with Mysskin gearing up, Arasan with Vetri Maaran and Silambarasan TR lined up, and a yet to be titled film with Puri Jagannadh in the works. Each project sees him explore widely different worlds, and Kaattaan appears to sharpen that versatility even further by placing him at the centre of a morally charged, multi perspective drama.If the first look is any indication, the series is shaping up to be a raw and compelling deep dive into the violent heart of a man whose legend shifts depending on who tells the story.Also Read: It’s a Wrap for Vijay Sethupathi and Puri Jagannadh’s Film。
