BioflexBot: A Spring-and-Air Robot Hand That Out-Rotates Human Fingers
Chinese researchers built a gripper that needs just two air inputs to pinch, rotate, hook and grasp. No complex anatomy required.
One loop, one bucket: how AWS's Strands Robots records, trains and deploys without redundant data transfers
A new open-source toolkit from AWS lets a single AI agent collect robot demonstrations, train on them and push the finished policy back to hardware, skipping the costly step of downloading the same data twice.
More Than 200 Robot Makers, One Big Question: Are Humanoids Actually Ready?
A new industry report cuts through the excitement around humanoid robots to ask what works today, what is still years away, and what it all means for workers in factories and warehouses.
The US military wants better robots. Here's who it's asking.
A federally funded manufacturing institute is putting out an open call for robotics and AI projects aimed at defence production, from submarines to drone swarms.
Humanoid Robots Are in Warehouses Now. What Still Needs to Work?
Four robotics experts take the stage at RoboBusiness in October to separate real progress from hype, covering safety, costs, and what it will actually take before humanoid robots show up at scale on factory floors.
Celona's Orion Platform Wants Robots to Pick Their Own Wi-Fi or 5G Connection on the Fly
A new system lets factory robots, warehouse vehicles, and mining haulers switch between private 5G, Wi-Fi, and even satellite without dropping their network identity. Here is what it costs, who it is for, and when you can get it.
SEW-EURODRIVE launches budget-friendly gear units for everyday factory robots
The German automation company has added three lower-cost planetary gear units to its PxG line, giving machine builders a way to stop over-engineering standard packaging and assembly machines.
The Dirty Data Problem That Is Stalling the Next Wave of AI Robots
A new survey of more than 700 AI engineers finds that bad data, not weak algorithms, is the main reason physical AI systems fail before they reach the real world.
Industrial robots are booming outside car factories, new data shows
North American robot orders jumped 21% in value in Q2 2026, and the biggest growth came from chip makers, life sciences firms and food producers, not the car companies that once dominated the industry.
The US Army's $15.9 Million Robot Supply Truck Is Built to Reach Soldiers Without Getting Anyone Killed
A Colorado robotics firm just won a contract to build TALUS, an autonomous supply system designed to keep frontline troops fed and armed without sending a driver into enemy territory.
DAF Trucks and Einride team up to put self-driving electric lorries on Europe's roads
A Swedish autonomous driving startup and a Dutch truck giant are combining their technology to move heavy freight without a human at the wheel. Here is what they are building and when it could happen.
Cambridge Aerospace raises $300 million to scale drone-interceptor production
The UK defence start-up, founded just last year, is now valued at $3.4 billion and holds contracts with the British Armed Forces to shoot down low-cost attack drones.
Self-driving truck startup PlusAI hits new safety milestones ahead of 2027 launch
Three readiness measures are all moving in the right direction, and the company says driverless commercial trucks are a 2027 target, not a distant dream.
Humanoid robots could become a $370 billion market by 2040. Here is what is slowing them down
McKinsey puts the general-purpose robotics market on track for massive growth, but the software tools used to design these machines are still stuck in the past.
When Robots and Warehouse Workers Share the Floor, Safety Doesn't Have to Mean Shutdowns
A free webinar on 26 August brings together robotics and logistics experts to tackle the real problem nobody talks about: how to keep people safe around robot fleets without grinding operations to a halt.
