Hangzhou has become the newest Chinese city to upgrade traffic control by deploying an AI-powered robotic police officer that manages vehicles and pedestrians at a busy intersection and politely warns those who break the rules. The 1.8-meter humanoid Hangxing No. 1 directs traffic, spots violations, and issues warnings at a busy Hangzhou intersection, using cameras, […]

Meet the robotic dog that remembers like an elephant and reacts with the instincts of a seasoned first responder. Developed by Texas A&M engineering students, this AI robotic dog can see, remember, and reason. Designed for chaotic environments, the robot could revolutionize search-and-rescue and disaster response. The project was led by Sandun Vitharana, a master’s

The Mirai Human Washing Machine, a cutting-edge “human washing” device that drew attention at the Osaka World Expo, is now available in Japan. Created by Japanese tech company Science, the capsule-shaped machine lets users lie inside, close the lid, and experience a full-body wash—without any spinning—while listening to soothing music. Major Attraction at Expo with

In much of the world, delivery services mainly focus on bringing food, groceries, parcels, or handling small errands. In Dubai and the UAE, a new niche is emerging, reflecting the region’s focus on convenience and ongoing reliance on cash. Introducing the cash-delivery service: a model where physical money is delivered straight to your doorstep. Even

Generative AI and robotics are rapidly driving us toward a future where we can produce an object within minutes just by asking for it. MIT researchers have already taken a major step: they’ve built a speech-to-reality system—an AI-powered workflow that lets users give spoken instructions to a robotic arm, effectively “talking” objects into existence, including

The Walker S2 humanoid robot can swap its own battery when power runs low, allowing it to function on its own indefinitely. Built by China’s UBTECH, this groundbreaking robot stands 162 centimeters tall and weighs 43 kilograms—roughly the size of a small adult. It runs on a 48-volt lithium dual-battery system, which provides roughly two

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have analyzed the precise hand gestures in Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance, uncovering a more complex “alphabet” of movement than typical hand grasps. This research could enhance robot hand movement training and provide improved tools for physical therapy. Ramana Vinjamuri, a professor at UMBC and the

EPFL researchers have incorporated waste crustacean shells into robotic systems, harnessing the natural material’s durability and flexibility to enhance robotic performance. While many roboticists draw inspiration from nature, they typically build even biologically inspired robots from artificial materials such as metals, plastics, and composites. A new experimental robotic manipulator from EPFL’s Computational Robot Design and
In the future, small flying robots could be used to help locate survivors trapped under rubble after a major earthquake. Much like insects, these robots would be able to navigate through narrow gaps that larger machines cannot, while avoiding obstacles and falling debris. Until now, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along
