Quadruped "robot dogs" may move quite a bit like their canine counterparts on land, but they're not nearly as good at swimming (although some can walk underwater). Such is not the case with a new mini-dog-bot, however, which is an expert at doing the dog-paddle.

If you're releasing a robot into the aquatic environment with no intention of retrieving it, that bot had better be biodegradable. Swiss scientists have gone a step better, with a li'l robot that can be consumed by fish when its job is done.

SiFly says its drones fly 4X longer, 10X farther, 10X quieter and carry 5X more payload than the competition, while manufacturing in the USA at China-competitive prices. And they don't need parachutes. We asked how... Here's the secret sauce!

An alarming video appears to depict one of humanity's worst nightmares coming true: a killer robot going rogue. The clip features a humanoid robot malfunctioning, flailing its appendages wildly, and getting almost too close for comfort to two humans.

Space-starved folks looking for a cinematic solution to replace the living room TV may find a good fit in ultra-short-throw projectors. Optoma's latest model delivers "incredible brightness and true-to-life color in a new compact design."

Unitree has launched a modified version of its B2 quadruped aimed at putting out fires. Able to host various use-specific modules, the robodog hauls a powerful water cannon high-flow and can operate in extreme environments.

Adding new meaning to the term "fusion cuisine," robot science and gastronomy united to create an elaborate cake that features edible components and the world's first edible rechargeable battery. (Well, it's rechargeable until you eat it.)

Staring at a computer screen all day and into the night can be fatiguing for your peepers. For certain tasks, an E Ink monitor might be a better fit. Boox has launched a 25.3-inch color E Ink display with super-refresh tech called the Mira Pro.

Ground-going delivery robots are already streamlining operations in various industries, but they typically still have to be loaded and unloaded by humans. That's where the LEVA bot comes in, as it can autonomously lift and drop off cargo boxes.

A new drone company has exploded out of stealth mode in the USA with incredible claims about its first product, saying it'll fly 4X longer, 10X further, 10X quieter and carry 5X more payload than leading competitors – while competing with China on cost.
