October 02, 2026 | Omar KardoudiThe new light-guided swimmer uses one layer of living muscle to propel and steer itself through a Petri-dish maze. The thin design could one day help soft robots reach underwater spots rigid machines can't enter. -
September 27, 2026 | Malcolm AzaniaUsing a liquid crystal elastomer cord, these earring-like robots can jump forward three times their body length, and upward 80 times their body height. One day extraplanetary exploration could utilize their descendants as zero-power drones. -
September 27, 2026 | Omar KardoudiEve, an exoskeleton by the French company Wandercraft, lets people with spinal-cord injuries stand and walk hands-free at home, no crutches or walker needed, so they can cook, open doors, and move on their own. -
September 20, 2026 | Abhimanyu GhoshalBefore humanoid robots fully integrate into our societies and inhabit our homes and workspaces, a Japanese firm is thinking one step ahead. GMO has just unveiled a "Humanoid Ambulance" that it will roll out to handle maintenance tasks on-site. -
August 31, 2026 | Abhimanyu GhoshalThis cute little robot duck isn't actually a toy. It's actually a platform for budding roboticists to train on and develop skills. But heck, this might be the most fun design for a hackable machine we've seen yet. -
August 25, 2026 | Abhimanyu GhoshalAre household humanoid robots getting cheaper already? We've only just begun seeing companies start to make promises about machines that can do your laundry and tidy up rooms. A SF-based startup is now making one that you can bring home for $1,688. -
August 21, 2026 | Omar KardoudiMIT engineers replaced excavator joysticks with a miniature-arm controller that mimics human arm motion, letting complete novices match veteran operators' skill level from their very first session, no years of practice required. -
July 29, 2026 | Abhimanyu GhoshalThe US is banning the sale of robots made outside the country. That includes all the cool ones we've covered out of China, which can dance, run half-marathons in record time, provide companionship to seniors, and carry loads over rocky terrain. -
July 27, 2026 | Omar KardoudiItalian startup Generative Bionics unveils Gene.01, a humanoid robot with sensor-packed skin that feels people approaching and adjusts before contact, aiming to make human-robot collaboration safer on factory floors. -
July 13, 2026 | Omar KardoudiScientists have created a robotic bird that swims, dives, and rockets out of water to fly, all without propellers, legs, or folding tricks. Just clever engineering solving a problem nature already does gracefully. -
June 26, 2026 | Bronwyn ThompsonThe first hotel run by robots is set to open its doors to the public next year. It comes as no surprise that it's happening in China – on the artificial island built for the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the cross-sea megaproject in the Pearl River Delta. -
June 25, 2026 | Abhimanyu GhoshalFaraday Future has had an awfully rough go of building an electric car brand. It's now shifting gears to wade into the world of robotics and physical AI – and it has a heap of robots on offer, including a multipurpose $90,000 humanoid. -
June 12, 2026 | Etiido UkoSoft robots have a “cardiovascular” problem. While their bodies can deform, their hearts, the pumps that keep them moving, have remained bulky and rigid. Researchers have developed a tiny, powerful pump that doesn’t require any mechanical components. -
June 07, 2026 | Bronwyn ThompsonHumanoids may be winning marathons and getting factory jobs, but after spending a few days with around 100 different robots of all shapes and sizes, one thing was clear: There's a chasm separating viral demonstration hype and reality. -
May 29, 2026 | Omar KardoudiA bipedal humanoid might not be the best design for operation in microgravity. A four-armed robot from an offshoot of ETH Zurich brings four arms into the equation – one pair to anchor Helios to surfaces while the other pair gets to work.
