In China's northeast, a robot engineer is teaching humanoid robots to move like humans by demonstrating actions hundreds of times while wearing motion-capture technology. Her patient training is helping create robots that can safely work alongside people in real-world environments.
While China dominates humanoid robot production, Japanese companies are carving out a new niche in the global robotics race. They're focusing on the "brain" behind the bots: AI software that helps robots think and act in real-world situations.
Scientists created a flexible robotic wing that senses water currents and adapts like a bird or fish, slashing underwater jolts by 87%. The breakthrough could make ocean robots safer, smarter, and far more energy efficient.
A new humanoid robot just showed off something surprisingly rare: picking up objects while walking around. Multiple robotics teams are pushing the boundaries of what machines can do in one smooth motion.
Advanced AI-powered robots that can pour tea and perform health checks are coming to Singapore as Chinese robotics firms plan major expansion into the city-state. Eight companies will launch large-scale trials at Punggol Digital District later this year.
As delivery robots roll through Los Angeles streets, a new career is emerging: robot wranglers who rescue stuck bots, clean them, and keep them running. These jobs pay $21-23 per hour and are growing as fast as the robot fleets themselves.
A South Korean company just made humanoid robots more affordable and practical with a newly commercialized robotic hand designed for real-world use. The lightweight gripper could open doors for smaller companies and researchers who've been priced out of the market.
Humanoid robots performed martial arts routines with children at China's Spring Festival Gala, running up walls and wielding nunchucks in a choreographed display. The performance shows how far China's robotics industry has advanced in just one year.
Engineers are teaching humanoid robots to sense their surroundings like humans do, using advanced vision and hearing technology. This breakthrough could make robots safe enough to work alongside people in everyday settings.
A humanoid robot has learned to play tennis by watching fragmentary human movements, not perfect demonstrations. The breakthrough could help robots master complex tasks even when training data is messy or incomplete.
