From Mie.Roboluscious in Mohali to Roseate House Delhi and Hilton Gurugram, restaurants are using robots as servers to manage footfall while easing staff workload.
MIT Associate Professor Luca Carlone works to give robots a more human-like perception of their environment, so they can interact with people safely and seamlessly.
The word “robot” was coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in a 1920 play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, and is derived from the Czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”.
Autonomous robots have moved from labs to real-world industry, operating at scale in ports, warehouses and factories. In a recent episode of Radio Davos and in a session at the World Economic Forum's 56th Annual Meeting in Davos, experts on physical AI explored what's next for autonomous systems. Experts say that the hardest technical breakthroughs are now behind us, but that the transition to ...
A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds.
From R2D2 to the Terminator via Bender and Johnny-5, we choose our favourite robots from books, films and television series
Physical AI is powering a new era of industrial automation. Discover how intelligent robotics are solving key manufacturing challenges like labour shortages and costs.
MIT researchers developed an aerial microrobot that can fly with speed and agility comparable to real insects. The research opens the door to future bug-sized robots that could aid in search-and-rescue missions.
MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a ...
The next robot, Armar-6, shown below, is a 1.9-metre-tall machine, built by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. It can talk with people and help them carry heavy loads.
Here, “human-robot interaction” is interpreted in the context of social robots, not industrial ones. Social robots are understood as physical machines that are autonomous (or semi-autonomous) and that interact and communicate with humans through mimicking human behaviour and communication.
New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables.
This fast and agile robotic insect could someday aid in mechanical ...

The Robot Report: Improving mobile robot stability on uneven terrain through vibration monitoring techniques
Vibration sensors can aid in stability and navigation, particularly for field robots in varied terrain, writes a columnist.
We have long been fascinated with our own image. In the 1920s play Rossum’s Universal Robots, Czech writer Karel Čapek coined the term robot to describe human-looking creatures forced to work in ...
We need to start thinking of robots as a modern tool that we can optimally design for specific use cases rather than a panacea to solve every challenge.
