Autonomous

A self-arranging fleet of FloatForm robots requires minimal coordination for navigating, avoiding collisions, magnetically adhering to each other, and detaching themselves. FloatForms could create emergency platforms or future work and living space.

The Autonomous Intern is an interesting little piece of equipment. It looks like the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Really, it's a 3D printed pyramid case with a Raspberry Pi and AI agents ready and willing, if you're brave enough.

Why pay to design and mass-produce a four-wheeled autonomous security robot, when you can make a less costly one with just one wheel? That's the thinking behind the 1Rollo, a monowheel-bot that could soon be patrolling near you.

In a world first, the Royal Air Force airdropped an autonomous drone boat from a military transport aircraft. Part of the Royal Navy's Project Beehive, a Kraken Technologies K3 SCOUT vehicle was parachuted from an Airbus A400M cargo plane over the North Sea.

The US has racked up another historic drone warfare first as US Central Command (CENTCOM) announces that a trio of Corsair autonomous surface boats successfully carried out a simultaneous attack against the Bandar Abbas Naval Base in Iran.

Technology has come for many jobs, and one that it seems to be targeting is that of the tennis coach. The Acemate S10 builds on other models that can fire balls at you on the court – by being able to return those balls to mimic a rally.

The 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.

Mammotion's latest Luba adds LiDAR, drops the RTK antenna, and somehow climbed out of a drainage ditch deeper than itself before getting back to work

Flying under the radar of robot hype, Sony AI's Ace has shown off its rapid-speed learning abilities that are seriously remarkable, displaying powerful split-second decision-making while taking on some of the best table tennis players – and winning.

This was hands down the most frustrating mower I've ever tested. So I rage quit and kicked it down the street to a neighbor's house.

A field of robots competing in a half marathon demonstrated how frighteningly fast the technology has developed in 12 months. Even if one bot had a race to forget, smashing into pieces at the starting line, Honor's Lightning instead smashed records.

Most ‘new motorcycles’ that come out of China often follow the imitation route. They’re often copies of successful European and even Japanese models in affordable, low-displacement packages. So what's special about the Guruma 1000 RR?
