Enigma raises $70 million to make robots as easy to control as a volume knob
The Israeli-American startup is letting anyone in the world command its robots online, hoping the data will reveal what a truly intuitive human-robot interface looks like.
Brain waves and borrowed muscles: the unusual data farms training tomorrow's robots
A startup is strapping brain-wave headsets onto warehouse workers to teach robots how to think on their feet. It turns out the real bottleneck in physical AI is not smarter software, it is raw data.
Shining Light onto a Chip Could Give Robots a Faster AI Brain Update
Cornell Tech researchers have built a receiver that rewrites a chip's memory using flashes of light instead of electrical wires, and it could one day let warehouse robots refresh their AI models on the fly.
150 Years Old and Still Building Motors for Space Robots
Magmotor Technologies has been making custom electric motors since 1876. Now it plans to triple its workforce and revenue, with robotics leading the charge.
One Robot Brain, a Thousand Hands: How Generalist's GEN-1 Model Learns to Use Any Tool
A robotics startup has trained a single AI model to switch between screwdrivers, tongs, spatulas and whisks mid-task. Here's what that means for the future of robot design.
How Smarter Databases Are Helping Robots React in Real Time
A database built for time-stamped data sounds like plumbing. But for factory robots and industrial machines, it can be the difference between a system that keeps up and one that falls behind.
AMD Takes On NVIDIA in Robotics With New Kria Module and X100 Chip
AMD says its new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 processor and Kria system module can outperform NVIDIA's flagship robotics chips. A growing list of robot makers is already switching over.
Ropedia's HOMIE: The Wearable Tech Changing How Robots Learn
Ropedia raises $22 million to boost its AI-driven device, HOMIE, which captures human movement to train smarter robots.
Physical AI: The Dollars and Sense of Robotics
How Physical AI is reshaping automation and attracting billions in venture capital.
Travis Kalanick's Atoms Secures $1.7 Billion to Drive Robotics Vision
Travis Kalanick raises $1.7 billion for his robotics company Atoms, reuniting with Uber and expanding heavy industry automation.
Anthropic and a Billion-Dollar Robot Startup Held Talks This Spring. Here Is What We Know.
A weekend rumour about Anthropic buying robotics firm Physical Intelligence turned out to be more grounded than the denial suggested. And OpenAI may already hold cards that complicate any deal.
Inside the Simulators Teaching Robots to Move, Grip and Learn
Training a real robot costs a fortune and breaks things. A new generation of GPU-powered physics simulators is changing that, one virtual arm at a time.
Robots Need to Feel Friction to Truly Understand the Physical World
A new model class called VμA puts the physics of grip at the centre of robot thinking. Here is why that matters for every robot that picks things up.
Meet the robots being trained to build solar farms faster than any human crew
A startup called Gritt says its AI-controlled machines can help an eight-person crew install four times as many solar panels in a day. It just raised $34 million to prove it.
Anyone Can Now Help Teach Robots to Pick Things Up
A new open-source handheld gripper called Grabette lets ordinary people record robot training data at home, no robot required.
