1X buys Kind Humanoid to speed up development of robots that can live and work with people.

"Having Christoph join the 1X team here in the Bay will accelerate our path to a world full of humanoid robots,"

Sources close to the company say OpenAI has started investing in robot-focused startups and reviving its internal robotics programs.

The AI company has already backed Figure and Physical Intelligence, two firms specializing in robot technology.

Paxini Perception Technology (Shenzhen)'s TORA-ONE captured the interest of onlookers at the 26th China International Hi-Tech Fair for its groundbreaking multi-dimensional haptic technology. Its new technology boasts usage in different industries and production lines, offering users what might be the beginning of true "smart" manufacturing.

During a live demonstration, TORA-ONE displayed exceptional precision and efficiency on a lithium battery production line. Its arm and dexterous hands worked seamlessly to transport batteries quickly and safely, meticulously placing them into designated frames. Spectators were left in awe as TORA-ONE’s performance highlighted the immense potential of multidimensional haptic technology in industrial settings.

The robot can now operate on just two of its four wheels while staying stable, according to a demonstration video released by the company.

The B2-W "Talent Awakening" model comes one year after the original version hit the market.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the medical field, offering unprecedented advancements in diagnostics and treatments through its ability to analyze vast datasets quickly and detect intricate correlations. A prime example of this transformative potential is the AirCare project, a cutting-edge initiative funded with €8 million by the Horizon Europe program and spearheaded by the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, Italy. This ambitious project aims to redefine the diagnosis and treatment of upper aero-digestive tract cancers, which are among the most prevalent and challenging to treat.

One of the AirCare project’s primary goals is to improve diagnostic precision while minimizing patient discomfort. During endoscopic examinations, AI algorithms provide physicians real-time feedback, enabling quicker identification of suspicious lesions. This innovation reduces the reliance on invasive biopsies, expediting the diagnostic process and improving patient outcomes.

MagicBot from MagicLab is quite literally taking a revolutionary leap in robotics. This humanoid robot is positioned to be a potential candidate for human assistance across various industries, courtesy of its precision, adaptability, and natural movement.

However, before MagicBot can become a game-changing evolution in robotics, it had to overcome one struggle: walking. See how MagicBot conquered its first steps throughout the months during its training:

Switzerland-based ANYbotics has raised $60 million in a bid to boost its expansion into both the United States and global markets, marking a significant move in the company’s mission to expand the safer, more efficient, and more sustainable application of robotics across sectors such as chemicals, energy, metals, mining, and power.

Substantial orders have come from industry leaders such as BP, Equinor, Novelis, Petrobras, and Outokumpu. ANYbotics is also forging key partnerships with major firms such as AWS, NVIDIA, SAP, SLB, Equans, and Siemens Energy.

A Toyota humanoid robot makes history as its CUE6 secures the first Guinness World Record for the longest basketball shot ever made by a robot. Not only did this record set a new standard in sports performance but also in the field of precision robotics.

This feat might be first for CUE6, but not the first for Toyota’s CUE series. In 2019, the third-generation CUE3 model was recognized by Guinness World Records for scoring a whopping 2,020 consecutive free throws - a feat that showcased the robot’s consistency. Toyota remarked that CUE3 would have continued its streak forever due to its flawless programming.

Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot can now traverse challenging terrain thanks to neural networks - a proof of Tesla’s pursuit in pushing the boundaries of robotics. A new video reveals Optimus navigating uneven ground, skillfully managing steep inclines and declines—a breakthrough that signals significant progress in robot mobility.

Traversing unpredictable surfaces poses a monumental challenge for robotic systems. Precise calculations, real-time adaptability, and split-second decision-making are critical for maintaining stability. Tesla's innovative approach harnesses neural networks, allowing Optimus to process sensory information dynamically. These human-like reflexes enable the robot to adapt to surfaces that would typically stump traditional robotic designs, highlighting Tesla's technical prowess in artificial intelligence and mechanical engineering.
