Atlas, a humanoid robot made by robotics company Boston Dynamics, has been upgraded from a version 60 Minutes saw in 2021, with joints that can fully rotate and hands that can grip a variety of objects.

With a pair of legs directly on the vacuum, the Roborock Saros Rover might solve the biggest limitation in robotic floor cleaning.

Humanoid robots have quietly crossed a threshold from lab demos to real industrial work, and the software making that leap possible is Google’s Gemini family of AI models. Instead of being teleoperated or locked into rigid scripts,

Roborock, a Chinese robotic vacuum cleaner brand, unveiled a concept device with two legs that can climb stairs in people’s homes, a flashy example of efforts to sell ordinary consumers on the idea of home robots.

Roborock is upgrading its off-roader robot lawn mower with better obstacle tracking with LiDAR vision and a bigger operating radius.

For several decades, Boston Dynamics has pioneered the development of advanced robots, including humanoids and four-legged systems tested by the military as a way to carry supplies over rough terrain. The company was sold to Google in 2013 and bought by SoftBank in 2017. In 2021, Hyundai acquired a controlling stake.

Robotics startup 1X Technologies has developed a new generative model that can make it much more efficient to train robotics systems in simulation. The model, which the company announced in a new blog post, addresses one of the important challenges of ...

This final enterprise version of Atlas "can perform a wide array of industrial tasks," according to Boston Dynamics, and is specifically designed with consistency and reliability in mind. Atlas can work autonomously,

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or vision-language-action, algorithm with 10 billion parameters. It can use footage from an autonomous vehicle’s cameras to generate driving trajectories.

Boston Dynamics is an undisputed frontrunner in the race to develop humanoid robots —and now, its Atlas robot is getting to work at Hyundai. A corner of the parts warehouse at Hyundai’s Georgia factory is home to on-the-job training for Atlas.
