AGIBOT's Head of North America Will Explain How to Bring Humanoid Robots Out of the Lab at RoboBusiness 2026
Yinghao Song will walk through the real business case for factory-floor robots on October 20 in Santa Clara, covering costs, supply chains, and what it takes to make humanoids pay for themselves.
Inside the Montreal lab training robots to work on real factory floors
Canadian automation company Vention has opened a Physical AI Lab in Montreal where robots learn from live production data, not just controlled experiments.
Former Boston Dynamics Execs Launch Dynamic Creatures to Put AI-Powered Robot Characters in Theme Parks
Two veterans of the famous robotics company want to build Spot and Atlas into entertainment characters that can dance, joke, and one day hug you back.
The hardware bottleneck that AI cannot fix in humanoid robots
Smarter software is only half the problem. The real challenge is squeezing motors, sensors and safety systems into a robot's wrist.
The Invisible Safety Net That Construction Robots Actually Need
Autonomous machines are arriving on building sites faster than the safety systems designed to protect the humans working alongside them. Vision AI is meant to close that gap.
The AI researcher who taught robots to imagine, and just left Google DeepMind to do it full-time
Danijar Hafner spent years training AI agents to plan for situations they have never seen. Now he has a stealth startup, a room full of humanoid robots, and a conviction that the approach is ready for the real world.
Factory Robots Don't Have a Data Problem. They Have a Deployment Problem.
Inbolt's CEO says physical AI is already working on real production lines at Ford, Toyota, and Stellantis. The barrier isn't more data. It's getting robots out of the lab and onto the factory floor without months of costly setup.
Agility Robotics made $1.8 million last year. It wants to go public at $2.5 billion.
The maker of the Digit humanoid robot just filed its financials before a stock-market listing. The numbers are tiny. The ambitions are not.
The Robot Industry Is Split Down the Middle Over America's New Robotics Ban
A Boston survey of 14 robotics companies found exactly 43% cheering the FCC's foreign-robot restrictions and 43% dreading them. Where you stand depends almost entirely on where your factory is.
Travis Kalanick's Startup Atoms Is Moving Into the Robotaxi Business
The Uber co-founder's secretive new company raised $1.7 billion this summer. Now we know more about where that money is headed: self-driving taxis, big hires, and at least one controversial acquisition.
How Pressure Sensors Enhance Robotic Gripping
Pressure sensors give robotic grippers real-time data on what the fingers are actually doing at the moment of contact, closing the gap between commanded motion and a secure hold.
US military factories get $90 million to bring in robots and AI
The ARM Institute and 15 partner organisations have two years to upgrade 12 defence manufacturing sites with automation, drones and AI, while training the workers who will run them.
Enovis pays $180 million to bring bone-surgery robots to the operating room
A US medical device company is buying a French surgical robotics firm to put AI-guided robotic arms into knee and shoulder operations within two years.
A robot data startup worth $1.2 billion emerged from obscurity three months ago. Here's what it actually does.
XDOF collects real-world movement data so robots can learn to fold clothes and stack boxes. Investors are now racing to back it at a valuation most startups never reach.
The 2026 Robotics Startup Radar is open: here is how to apply
The Robot Report is accepting submissions from young robotics companies until 6 October 2026. A spot on the list puts a startup in front of investors and engineers who are actively looking for what comes next.
