While real dogs still have a major leg up over robots, the machines are catching up. Popular Science previously highlighted a company called Glide that sells a vacuum cleaner shaped mobility aid that uses AI and passive kinetic guidance to help people with impaired vision navigate.

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out. We have heard about robots taking over since science ...

Robots that look and move like people are no longer only the domain of science fiction movies like Ex Machina or The Wild Robot. By 2026, several robotics manufacturers had demonstrated very human-like machines — with two arms,

Visitors can interact with newly unveiled robots that will be deployed across the centre's galleries. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

In today's manufacturing environments, upgrading a robot fleet often means starting from scratch—not only replacing hardware, but also reprogramming tasks. Even when two robots are built to perform similar jobs,

In recent years, Africa has become a burgeoning hub for robotics innovation, positioning itself as a critical player in the global technological arena. With advancements in technology and a surge of interest from the younger generation, the continent’s ...

In crowded environments, more robots don’t always mean faster results—in fact, too many can bring everything to a standstill. Harvard researchers discovered a surprising fix: adding a bit of randomness to how robots move can actually prevent gridlock and boost efficiency.

With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs inside the body and help explore dangerous environments. But the squishy machines are often limited by rigid mechanical parts or external systems that provide power or help them move.

Purdue University Colleges of Science, Engineering, and Agriculture together with the Purdue Office of Industry Partnerships and Purdue Polytechnic Institute proudly present Robotics Day, a campus-wide celebration of innovation, collaboration, and ...
