Introduction Selecting the right transmission for a robot joint is one of the most consequential decisions in actuator design. The gearbox determines the joint's precision, stiffness, torque capacity, and cost — and the choice between harmonic drive and planetary reducers is rarely straightforward.
The latest twist in paying humans to wear head cameras for robot training data.
This year's tasks include mapping cold-water coral ecosystems, deploying ocean observatory instrumentation, modeling offshore wind turbines, and operating profiling floats beneath sea ice. Read More
China’s $1.1bn AI, robotics and EV package for Serbia lands four days after 34,000 protesters filled the capital demanding early elections. Brussels has yet to develop a coherent response to either. On Saturday, tens of thousands of Serbians filled the centre of Belgrade in what police estimated as
I got an exclusive hands-on look at the new Yoda Puppetronic by WOW! Stuff, a lifelike animatronic packed with expressive movements, iconic quotes, and just enough of the Jedi master's distinguishable energy to make it unforgettable.
Humanoid prices fell from $85,000 to $25,000 in two years. Schaeffler signed a binding RaaS deal for thousands of robots starting December 2026. Hyundai's unions blocked 25,000 Atlas units. Physical AI's May 2026 reality check. In 2023, a humanoid robot cost around $85,000. In 2025, that number drop
Summary: China has launched a national ID system for humanoid robots, assigning each a 29-character code that tracks it from production to recycling. Over 28,000 robots across 200 models already have IDs. The system logs real-time performance data including joint wear, battery status, and AI trainin
Orbit Robotics, a Zurich-based startup, has unveiled Helios, a four-armed robot designed to work inside space stations. In microgravity, legs are useless. Helios replaces them with two extra arms that serve as both mobility aids and working hands. The design logic is simple. Two arms anchor the robo
