In the past few decades, China has rapidly transitioned from one of the poorest nations on Earth to the global kingpin in robotics production.

Researchers have developed a team of robots that can autonomously explore underground tunnels. A probe maps the interior, while rovers abseil down to explore environments.

The Limelight 4 (LL4) is an AI-powered camera designed for robotics competitions, integrating advanced hardware and smart software to enhance performance and precision.

The AirPods Max have been lauded for their great sound, effective noise cancellation, and spatial audio, providing an immersive experience for listeners.

Apple is reportedly working on a "tabletop robot" resembling an iPad on a movable limb that can follow users in a room.

"I think we're going to start to see more restaurants that are sort of like time capsules, where there's this interesting reinterpretation - futuristic, but with this nostalgia to it."

"Russian aviation poses a threat not only to peaceful cities but also directly to the front line," Ukraine's 28th Mechanized Brigade explained in a post on the Telegram messaging app, adding that Russian planes, helicopters, and reconnaissance drones appear over infantry positions regularly.

Teleoperation has become a popular approach for collecting data to solve robotic tasks in the context of Physical/Embodied AI. CHILD is one of the solutions we proposed to enable users to provide direct commands via teleoperation for specific target tasks.

The dance floor tragedy was captured in a video that recently went viral on social media, though its original source is unclear.

Peter Thiel's 'Zero to One' has become a cornerstone of startup lore, but it can actively harm innovation by promoting monopolistic tendencies in the tech industry.

The hybrid drone represents a fascinating approach to multi-environment robotics, where a single device can operate effectively in two completely different mediums.

"We need to modernize how we train. I've been to 10 shipyards, and I've had one shipyard tell me how great their training was. I spent one hour with the workers who told me how bad their training was - I realized there's a big problem here. And we need to start equipping them with the tools that they need to get their job done easier."

Most robots today look like they belong in a factory or a science fiction movie, with their cold metal frames and intimidating mechanical movements that make you think twice about getting too close.

Heimendinger has created the Quantified Knife Project, buying 21 chef's knives, testing them with a robot arm, and collecting 100,000 data points to rank their cutting efficiency.

Hugging Face has launched its Reachy Mini robots, now available for order. Designed for AI developers, researchers, and enthusiasts, the robots offer an exciting opportunity to experiment with human-robot interaction and AI applications.

The surgical robot acted like a self-driving car that can "navigate any road, in any condition, responding intelligently to whatever it encounters," demonstrating its autonomy.

"The goal in the future is to keep carefully getting a lot of feedback like that from users, from the community, that's how we've always been building products at Hugging Face as an open source community platform."

According to Waymo, the teens, and their parents, like it that way. The concept of robot cars still scare plenty, but Waymo says its customers' enthusiasm for their self-driving cars has a lot to do with quelling fears.

Food delivery robots carrying everything from pizza to hamburgers are trying their luck on city streets and college campuses. It's not clear if it is the future or a hilarious misstep.

"We all remember Lego. We were growing up together with those kits." This adaptability allows soldiers to quickly modify and repurpose the same robots for various missions.
