Amazon Plans to Swap Human Workers for Robots That Don’t Need Breaks

Applied Science, Robotics /

Amazon has long embraced robotics in its warehouses, using a variety of machines from squat bots to tall crane-like models. It’s like a capitalist, e-commerce droid world—just with worse names. While robots handle most warehouse tasks, package delivery remains largely untouched by automation—for now. Amazon to Test Humanoid Robots for Last-Mile Deliveries in San Francisco […]

The Team Conducts 3D Recognition Of Transparent Objects In Under Two Seconds

Engineering, Robotics /

What once required 15 seconds now takes under 2: Thanks to innovative single-shot technology, the goROBOT3D system—developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF—can now measure 3D objects much more efficiently, even those that are transparent or black. The institute will unveil this technology for the first time at

Can Robots Really Build Space Infrastructure?

Robotics /

Robotics is rapidly transforming the future of space infrastructure, making possible the construction of massive solar farms in orbit—and that’s just the beginning. A recent UK-based demonstration suggests that remote-controlled robots may soon assemble gigawatt-scale solar satellites in space. How Do Robots Assemble Structures in Space? In a test known as AlbaTRUSS, conducted at the

Flying Robot Transforms Mid-Air to Land and Travel on Wheels

Robotics, Science /

Picture a robot that can seamlessly switch between flying like a drone and driving like a wheeled rover. Such a device could have significant practical applications—assuming it functions reliably in real-world settings. That’s exactly what the ATMO robot was built to achieve, by transforming in mid-air before it lands. Origins and Development at Caltech ATMO,

Robot Is 3D-Printed Upside-Down in One Piece, Then Walks Out of the Printer

Robotics, Science /

Soft-bodied robots offer tremendous potential, but they’re often limited to small-scale, experimental production. A group of researchers from Scotland aims to change that by introducing a 3D-printed soft robot that is fabricated in a single, continuous process—and remarkably, walks off the print bed once complete. It’s not the first instance of a one-piece printed soft

Humanoid Robot Boxing Is Here — and Optimus Should Worry

Applied Science, Robotics /

There’s just something about robots that makes people want to kick them—whether it’s for testing or just for fun. Sure, the kicking serves a technical purpose, but let’s face it, it’s the act itself that’s oddly satisfying. Still, constantly kicking and punching robots is exhausting—not to mention impractical. But it’s 2025 now, and the good
