A robotics company celebrated 20 years by unveiling a surgical robot built specifically for operating rooms, not adapted from industrial machines. The lightweight arm could make advanced robotic surgery more accessible to hospitals everywhere.
A robotics company just released a massive free dataset that could help robots learn to work in real homes and businesses. The move opens doors for researchers worldwide to build smarter, more capable machines.
China's Robot Valley in Shenzhen has become the world's epicenter for robotics innovation, home to over 200 companies producing humanoid robots that can now outrun Olympic athletes. The region's lightning-fast supply chains and university partnerships are turning morning research into afternoon prototypes, reshaping the future of manufacturing.
A Philadelphia robotics company has deployed over 1,000 walking robots since 2015, marking a major milestone in bringing science fiction to real-world security and defense. CEO Gavin Kenneally will share a decade of breakthrough lessons at Boston's Robotics Summit in May 2026.
Unitree Robotics delivered more than 5,500 walking humanoid robots in 2025, outpacing American competitors by over 35 times. The milestone signals rapid progress in making advanced robotics accessible and affordable worldwide.
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.
A Chinese robotics company just turned science fiction into reality with a pilotable transformer-style robot that stands nearly 9 feet tall. The GD01 lets humans control a massive mechanical suit straight out of anime and blockbuster movies.
China's robotics industry exploded in 2025, shipping 18,000 humanoid robots worldwide—a 508% jump from the previous year. Inside a Beijing innovation park, robots are now threading needles, running marathons, and transforming how we think about AI's future.
As delivery robots roll through 20 US cities, they're creating an unexpected workforce of "robot wranglers" who rescue stuck bots, clean sensors, and keep fleets running. Charlie Snodgrass went from delivering food himself to managing the robots that replaced him—earning $54,000 a year in a job that didn't exist five years ago.
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.
AGIBOT just rolled out its 10,000th humanoid robot, marking one of the first times a company has scaled production this dramatically. The Shanghai-based robotics company is now deploying intelligent robots across hospitals, factories, and stores on four continents.
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.
A New York manufacturer just cracked the code on construction automation by doing something counterintuitive: simplifying first, then automating. The result? Robots now weld building facades three times faster than humans ever could.
Two Chinese companies are racing to send humanoid robots into orbit, marking a new chapter in space exploration where machines handle the harsh conditions humans struggle with. One robot just became the first to connect directly to a satellite while on Earth.
