A new framework maps how autonomous wellness robots can address staffing shortages and help seniors thrive across seven dimensions of health. The Care Robot Autonomy Scale offers a roadmap from today's basic reminders to full wellness support within a decade.
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.
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.
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.
A British photographer with no robotics training rallied friends to build a life-size walking robot using "air muscles" instead of motors. Their weekly spaghetti dinners and scrap-yard finds launched a company that's still pioneering robotics today.
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.
A Filipino student team just won a world robotics championship with a robot designed to help patients navigate hospitals and receive care. Their creation, Project FRANCIS, beat international competitors and earned them a presidential welcome home.
A student-led robotics team from Iowa designed a robot that transforms into a ramp, solving a space challenge that stumped competitors and earning them a state championship. The EagleBots grew from 3 members to 24 while teaching STEM skills across their community.
Unitree Robotics stole the show at Beijing's latest AI and robotics expo with dancing robots that had tech enthusiasts buzzing. The performance showcased how far consumer robotics has come in making advanced technology feel fun and accessible.
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.
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.
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.
A humanoid robot just ran a half-marathon faster than any human in history, completing the 13-mile course in under 51 minutes. The breakthrough suggests robots may soon handle dangerous jobs and complex real-world tasks.
