Top Champions of China’s Global Humanoid Robot Competition

Applied Science, Robotics /

China recently hosted the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games — essentially an Olympics-style event, but for robots. The three-day event began August 14 at Beijing’s 12,000-seat National Speed Skating Oval, with over 200 teams from 16 countries competing in 26 events. The challenges ranged from traditional athletic disciplines and gymnastics to kickboxing, soccer, medication sorting, […]

Robots With a Unified Mind: The Rise of Shared Intelligence

Applied Science, Robotics /

As automation rapidly progresses, robot collaboration has moved beyond science fiction. Picture a warehouse where dozens of machines move goods without crashing, a restaurant where robots deliver meals to the right tables, or a factory where robot teams instantly adapt their tasks to meet changing demand. Open-Source ROS2 Framework Brings Collaborative Robotics to Life This

Wheel-Legged Robot Moves More Efficiently Across Environments

Applied Science, Robotics /

Most ground robots are built to use either wheels or legs, rather than both. However, robots capable of smoothly transitioning between wheeled and legged movement offer clear advantages, enabling more efficient travel across diverse terrains and increasing the likelihood of mission success. A Wheel-Legged Robot That Adapts Smoothly to Any Terrain Researchers at The Hong

Photos From Beijing’s World Humanoid Robot Games Reveal The Need For A Human Touch

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics /

Over three days in Beijing, humanoid robots competed in races and combat events at the World Humanoid Robot Games, which concluded on Sunday. However, many robots stumbled, fell, or broke down, needing human intervention and raising doubts about how independent they can truly be. The tournament brought together over 500 humanoids from 280 teams representing

Seed-Inspired Robot Flies 26 Minutes on One Wing

Applied Science, Robotics /

Samaras — the winged seeds of maple trees — spin gracefully to the ground, their thin, membrane-like wings creating aerodynamics that slow descent and let the wind carry them far from the parent tree. At Singapore University of Design and Technology, Cai Xinyu and colleagues have spent years replicating this natural mechanism, developing a biomimetic

Machines Mimic Human Motions to Prevent Slipping

Applied Science, Robotics /

To handle diverse real-world tasks, robots must securely grasp objects of various shapes, textures, and sizes without unintentionally dropping them. Traditional methods improve this by increasing the robotic hand’s grip strength to avoid slippage. Researchers Develop Bio-Inspired Motion Control to Prevent Slippage in Robotic Hands Researchers from several universities and labs have proposed new methods

Bizarre Assembly Line Produces Cyborg Cockroaches in Just Over a Minute

Applied Science, Robotics /

Instead of painstakingly building miniature robots from scratch, researchers are now transforming real insects into remote-controlled cyborgs—and a new automated production line dramatically speeds up the process. How Cyborg Insects Work In simple terms, a cyborg insect is usually a large bug—often a Madagascar hissing cockroach—outfitted with a tiny electronic backpack. Electrodes inside the pack
