HK airport introduces automatic runway-painting robots in world first
Hong Kong International Airport has introduced automatic painting robots to repaint runway markings that guide aircraft during takeoff and landing, becoming the world's first airport to apply the technology. Two types of robots — a…
The Pentagon is testing war robots that can hunt in packs without GPS and find battlefield targets on their own. Humans still call the shots.
The Pentagon's research arm tested how ground drones could be sent out in groups to look for and hunt down targets while keeping a human operator in the loop to make decisions. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, program…
A SoMa startup is building humanoid robots for war
By Zara Stone Tech Culture Reporter On the ground floor of Foundation, the humanoid robotics startup in SoMa, there's a curtained-off room with a light hanging over the entrance, the kind you'd expect to see in a TV studio. When it's blinking red…
Robots recognize the shape of an arena by messaging each other
Humans can create loose maps of environments they are exploring in their minds, using their senses and navigation skills. Many robots, on the other hand, rely on set maps of known environments or new maps produced using data collected by their…
Eric Trump-backed robot soldier startup can't pay staff after founder borrowed $4.6 million from company to buy home
Robot startup Foundation has failed to pay employees since missing its Oct. 30 payroll, angering some workers after its CEO borrowed $4.6 million from the firm last year to buy a luxury home, according to people familiar with the matter. CEO and…
Runway's open-source Praxis-1 turns video AI into a robot controller
Runway has released its robot model Praxis-1 with open weights and source code under the Apache 2.0 license. Trained on videos and robot data, the model processes camera images, text instructions, and position data to calculate matching robot…
Picturing the outcome may help robots follow instructions
Robots that follow spoken instructions often turn words and camera images into movements. A team in Seoul has built one that also pictures what the table should look like when the job is done, and uses that picture to choose its moves. On four real…
Strange new material pulses in perfect rhythm to make future robots feel more alive
A few musicians can hold a beat together, but an orchestra with no conductor tends to drift apart. Physicists have now built a sheet of material that does the opposite, and ends up making unified waves. Nudge it, and dozens of small motorized cells…
Dung beetles' inner compass could inspire cutting-edge miniature robotics
Insight into how dung beetles navigate in a straight line is helping EU-funded researchers to design nature-inspired technology and to understand how light pollution affects wildlife. When a humble dung beetle arrives at a patch of manure, it forms…

Miami-Dade Sidewalk Robot Vote Set for Nov. 17
Miami-Dade commissioners are one vote from deciding how fast a food-delivery robot may roll a county sidewalk, and how long it may sit there. A final vote is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17, on rules that would require permits, cap speeds and idle…

Caltech Robot Builds Part of an Antenna in Orbit Without Astronaut Help, a First Step Toward Space Telescopes Too Big to Launch
A robot launched from California has assembled part of a structure in orbit with no astronaut doing the work, a step its builders at Caltech call a first for spaceflight. The system did not finish the 1.4-meter (4.6-foot) reflector antenna it was…
