A conversation between LocaXion CEO Viren Mathuria and Redpoint CEO Chunjie Duan on safety-grade RTLS, what genuine precision demands, and the architecture built for what’s coming. RTLS (Real-Time Location System) refers to wireless technology used to automatically identify, track, and manage the precise location of assets, equipment, or people within a defined indoor or outdoor […]
Florida Polytechnic University’s newest high-tech addition is making dining on campus a little easier, and a lot more fun. With just a few taps on a phone screen, autonomous delivery robots can quickly deliver bagels, burritos, lattes and much more to Phoenixes throughout campus. Florida Poly’s Phoenix Dining, managed by Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services, […]
The humanoid robotics industry may be approaching its first real commercial inflection point – and the signal is not a new product launch or funding round, but a sharp and accelerating decline in prices. Recent disclosures from Unitree Robotics suggest the average price of its humanoid robots fell from approximately $85,000 in 2023 to about […]
By Michael Santora, CEO at Logic Robotics Cities across the globe are wrestling with a stubborn challenge: congestion. While traffic often comes to mind first, logistics experts point out that the real bottleneck in many urban environments lies at the curb. Trucks not only clog intersections as they navigate narrow streets, but also occupy scarce […]
Agibot, a leading robotics company specializing in embodied intelligence, said it has rolled out its 10,000th humanoid robot, becoming one of the first companies in the industry to reach this milestone at scale. More than a production figure, the achievement marks a significant step forward for the robotics industry, signaling a transition from early-stage validation […]
Amazon has acquired New York-based startup Fauna Robotics, signaling a move beyond its traditional focus on warehouse automation into consumer-facing humanoid robots. The deal, first reported by Bloomberg and covered by Silicon Republic and Euronews, involves Fauna’s team of roughly 50 employees joining Amazon’s Personal Robotics Group. Financial terms were not disclosed. Fauna, founded in […]
Neura Mobile Robots has presented an application for mobile manipulation in intralogistics for the first time at LogiMAT. Under its ek Robotics brand, Neura demonstrated how mobile transport robotics and cognitive robotics can be combined into a seamless system, enabling a new level of automation. At the heart of the application is the combination of […]
Verne, Pony AI, a large-scale developer of autonomous driving technology, and Uber Technologies have announced a strategic partnership to launch what the companies say is “the first commercial robotaxi service in Europe”, beginning in Zagreb soon, with initial deployment work already under way, including public-road validation. The three companies plan to collaborate on the deployment […]
Sonair, a pioneer in ultrasonic 3D sensing, is introducing its award-winning ADAR (Acoustic Detection and Ranging) sensor to the North American market with its official debut at Modex 2026, Booth #B15851, April 13-16. The technology arrives in Atlanta following its first commercial deployment in serial production on Cleanfix’s new autonomous cleaning robots. A ‘new sense’ […]
Melania Trump presents humanoid robot at White House, highlights role of AI in education and careers
First Lady Melania Trump introduced an American-built humanoid robot at the White House this week, marking a rare moment where advanced robotics took center stage in a diplomatic setting. The demonstration featured Figure 3, a humanoid system developed by Figure AI, and was presented during a global summit attended by representatives from 45 countries. According […]
NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners, identified hazards like rocks and sand ripples, and charted a safe path across the Martian surface. After extensive testing in a virtual replica of the rover, Perseverance successfully followed the AI-generated routes, traveling hundreds of feet autonomously.
Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the robots swim by manipulating electric fields rather than using moving parts. They can detect temperature changes, follow programmed paths, and even work together in groups. The breakthrough marks the first truly autonomous robots at this microscopic scale.
Researchers used a deep learning AI model to uncover the first imaging-based biomarker of chronic stress by measuring adrenal gland volume on routine CT scans. This new metric, the Adrenal Volume Index, correlates strongly with cortisol levels, allostatic load, perceived stress, and even long-term cardiovascular outcomes, including heart failure risk.
Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, removing one of the biggest computational bottlenecks in galactic modeling. The result is a simulation hundreds of times faster than current methods.
