Robotics news — humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, drone technology, robot manipulation research, and industrial automation updates.
Researchers have developed EMMA, a physics-informed multimodal framework that recovers all identifiable dynamical parameters of a system directly from raw video, audio, and image-based time-series observations. The frame…
A developer has created a controlled dataset to test whether finetuning Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models degrades them into imitation learners that memorize scene-action mappings rather than genuinely understanding la…
Serve Robotics deployed 500 additional delivery robots across 40 Los Angeles neighborhoods this month, expanding from just two neighborhoods in 2023, while competitor Coco Robotics operates roughly 300 bots citywide. The…
Nvidia's Deepu Talla discusses the state of physical AI and robotics, highlighting that the industry is still in early stages with only a million or two robots shipped annually against a tens-of-billions opportunity. He …
A forensic analysis of STM32F7 firmware failure modes in drone swarms has been published, detailing how these microcontrollers malfunction in autonomous aerial combat systems. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilit…
China has deployed its first official human-robot enforcement team in Shanghai's Pudong district, where drones, humanoid robots, and human officers work together to patrol for permit violations and explain regulations to…
UBTECH's Walker C1 humanoid robot performed ballet alongside human dancers at Chain Expo 2026, executing choreographed waltz turns and arm movements with precision. The demonstration showcased the robot's dynamic balance…
Researchers have developed GEM-4D, a geometry-grounded video world model that generates physically consistent video predictions for robot manipulation by injecting dense 4D correspondence supervision from a pretrained ge…
Project Open Hand, a San Francisco nonprofit that prepares medically tailored meals for people with serious illnesses, has deployed robots from Chef Robotics to help assemble meal kits in its Tenderloin facility. The org…
Spanish shipbuilder Navantia has launched a 75-meter crewless warship designed to operate as a drone vessel with sensors and modular payloads. The vessel eliminates the need for onboard sailors, marking a significant ste…
The article explains two complementary methods for tuning PID controllers: the empirical Ziegler-Nichols method, which finds the ultimate gain (Ku) and period (Pu) by driving the real system into sustained oscillation, a…
A developer built an AI-powered hexapod robot using the Gemma 4:e4b model to enable autonomous navigation and dynamic gait adjustments across uneven terrain. The system uses two dedicated ports: one for translating high-…
The article summarizes research published in the *European Journal of Social Psychology* which found that people who feel threatened by robots and AI are more likely to prefer strict social hierarchies. This occurs becau…
This article details the development of Logic Arena, a real-time robot battle simulator built from scratch by a computer science student using TypeScript. The project features a custom scripting language called AliScript…
The US military is using the southern border as a "sandbox" to test counter-drone technology, as cartel surveillance flights increasingly threaten troops and federal law enforcement. General Gregory Guillot stated that w…
The article argues that the United States is developing humanoid robots that excel in controlled demonstrations but fail in real-world, adaptable tasks, unlike China's strategic focus on practical deployment. It criticiz…
Based on the article, AgentShare is building infrastructure (a REST API and MCP server) for autonomous agents to access structured marketplace prices and commerce data. Following Google I/O 2026, which emphasized "agents…
The article describes a custom wristwatch built by YouTuber Sahko that uses a single needle from a vintage analog VU meter to display the time, date, and day of the week on a printed dial. Powered by a Raspberry Pi RP204…
A user is seeking a DTMF transceiver module that is compatible with Arduino and specifically uses the MT8880 chip, citing strong community support for that component. The user has not yet found a suitable module and is a…
Grab's CTO, Suthen Paradatheth, stated that robots like its delivery bot "Carri" are becoming integral to the company's future, though the company also uses robots from competitors in its office as part of a "1+n strateg…
