ROBA is launching to redefine the robotics industry, which is projected to hit $218 billion by 2030, by empowering creators and eliminating proprietary stacks.

Amazon.com is building an e-commerce fulfillment business where humans are more efficient and less necessary, thanks to artificial intelligence and robots.

Though Atlas was designed to resemble a person in other ways, its hands aren’t exactly one-to-one. Instead, company engineers said, the design was optimized for sorting, packing, and handling objects—all tasks Atlas would need to perform repeatedly in a factory or warehouse setting.

“Futuristic humanoids working in homes, businesses, and public spaces fuel people's interest," says Takayuki Ito, President of the International Federation of Robotics. “Since our environment is optimized for the human body, the idea of a quick ...

Smarter data processing could make machines more helpful and energy-efficient in the real world. A good way to test this principle is robot soccer. Robots perceive the world around them very differently from the way humans do. When we walk down the ...

When fully developed, R1, which for now uses wheels instead of legs to get around, will be deployed as a "smart companion for your home," according to Robbyant, though it could also guide tourists, sort medicines, and offer medical consultations, among other tasks.

Amazon has been using robots to manage and automate their warehouses for years. Here’s a short feature on their current robot, Hercules. This is absolutely Amazon tooting their own horn, but if you have been curious about what exactly such robots do, and ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human anatomy that can stretch, lift heavy objects, and sense ...

One day on her way to engineering class at East High School, Melissa Hermosillo-Nava saw something unusual. "I was confused," she said. "I saw a robot there and it was a big robot and it was something that a team had made." Building a robot had never even ...
