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.
The Gap Between a Robot Demo and a Robot That Actually Works
A co-founder of agricultural robotics firm Burro explains why the hardest part of building autonomous machines is not the lab work. It is Tuesday morning in the rain.
Think it, move it: BrainCo's headset lets a person control a robot arm with thought alone
At a major AI conference in Shanghai, a user wearing a lightweight brain-reading headset thought about grabbing a cup, and a robotic arm did exactly that, in under a fifth of a second.
AGIBOT launches four robots at WAIC 2026, including a humanoid built for eight-hour shifts
The Shanghai company says its newest machines are ready for factories, service desks, and classrooms, not just one-off demos. Here is what each one does and why that distinction matters.
Jensen Huang's Tokyo Trip Just Reshaped Japan's Robot Future
Nvidia's CEO spent two days in Tokyo and left with deals covering AI factories, robotics giants, and Toyota's next cars. Here is what it actually means.
Nvidia launches a new robot brain and builds a Japanese AI coalition
The chip giant's Cosmos 3 Edge model aims to give robots and cameras a better sense of the physical world. Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Kawasaki are signing on.
Meet the Robot That Installs Solar Panels Faster Than a Human Crew
A startup called Maximo is using AI-guided robots to speed up solar farm construction. Its founder says the technology could reshape how the world builds clean energy at scale.
Eric Trump-Backed Startup Wants to Send Armed Humanoid Robots Into Combat
Foundation Future Industries says it will give its Phantom robot lethal capabilities within months. Experts say a truly autonomous robot soldier is still decades away.
This Drone Is Practically Invisible to the Human Eye. AI Designed It That Way.
Roboticists at Northwestern University used a computer optimiser to build a spinning drone that blurs itself into the background. The result is ten times harder to spot than a normal quadrotor.
Hyundai Workers Strike Over Humanoid Robots in a Car Industry First
Thousands of unionized workers in South Korea are cutting shifts short and planning longer stoppages after 15 rounds of talks failed to resolve fears about a six-foot robot that can lift over 100 pounds.
AMI Labs' CEO Says 'Superintelligence' Is a Meaningless Word. Here's What He's Building Instead.
Alexandre LeBrun raised over a billion dollars to teach AI how the physical world works. He thinks the buzzwords his rivals love are, at best, unhelpful.
Robots are now shaping missile parts for Lockheed Martin, and the process looks like a digital blacksmith
A startup called Machina Labs has won a contract to make metal components for a US Air Force missile, using robotic arms that hammer sheet metal into shape the way a blacksmith would, only faster and guided by software.
Beyond Chatbots: World Models Are Teaching AI to Simulate Reality
The next big wave in AI is not about language. It is about teaching machines to understand how the physical world actually works, and the race is already on.
A Chinese robotics startup wants to build the 'recipe' that gives robots general intelligence
X Square Robot is open-sourcing an AI stack that aims to do for physical robots what large language models did for text. The approach is interesting. The independent evidence is still thin.
Train the Robot in a Fake World First, Then Send It Into the Real One
Before a robot ever touches a warehouse shelf or a factory floor, it can spend thousands of hours learning inside a computer-built copy of that environment. Here is why that matters.
