NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and Disney Research have unveiled Newton, an open-source physics engine poised to revolutionise robotic learning and development.

Shanghai Electric, alongside nine other research enterprises, has officially signed an operational cooperation agreement with Shanghai-based National and Local Co-Built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Centre (National-Local Centre) to establish China's first heterogeneous humanoid robot training ground, the Humanoid Robot Kylin Training Ground.

In the depths of garden soil and forest leaf litter, tiny springtails leap effortlessly through the air, using a hidden appendage beneath their bodies.

A recent study by Scientists at .Neurorestore has demonstrated that combining spinal cord stimulation with robotic rehabilitation can enhance motor function in individuals with paralysis. This research aims to improve traditional rehabilitation robotics, which may not always elicit sufficient neural activity for effective recovery.

QNX has announced an expanded collaboration with AMD to support a wider range of AMD adaptive computing devices to enhance performance in robotic systems and other embedded devices.

By leveraging AI applied to an application database, an interactive AI consultant can speed up searches for components for low-cost robotic solutions.

Employment across all sectors in the European Union hit the highest level in twenty years: The employment rate for people aged 15-64 reached 71.7%. At the same time, the employment gap between men and women has narrowed.

Infineon provides sensor technology to Roborock for its state-of-the-art Saros Z70 robotic vacuum. The standout feature of the smart robot is its industry-first five-axis robot arm that can move obstacles out of its way and clean in areas that were previously blocked.

Delta has introduced a series of high-power panel mount power supplies, the new PMS Series’ 750W, 1,200W, and 2,500W models. They feature optional 24V/48V voltage outputs and supports peak power, ideal for equipment that require extremely high instantaneous power when activating, including collaborative robots (cobots), motor drive, and other inductive-load applications.

ADLINK Technology has announced that its industrial-grade Edge AI computing platform, DLAP-411-Orin, is now fully compatible with the one-stop LIPSAMR Perception DevKit developed by LIPS and based on NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, a collection of CUDA-accelerated libraries, AI models, and reference workflows for the development of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
