Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of changing information each day—new installations, shifting materials, evolving layouts, and emerging safety hazards. Traditionally, engineers walk every floor...

Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...

Major disasters often create environments too unstable or hazardous for human rescuers to enter. Collapsed structures, toxic fumes, flooding, and narrow access points can...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Border checkpoints are under increasing pressure to manage rising traveller volumes, evolving security demands, and labor-intensive inspection routines. Many of these sites operate around...

A new wearable system developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego is redefining how humans can interact with machines. The device...

Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...

A new generation of unmanned ground vehicles is blurring the line between agricultural automation and defense technology. The Thor robot, developed by Spanish deep-tech...

Supplying power to robotic explorers on other planets has always been one of the hardest problems in space engineering. Rovers operating millions of kilometers...

India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a new class of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs), designed to make mine detection faster,...

Autonomous robots face a persistent challenge - navigating complex, unpredictable environments without human intervention. Standard navigation systems typically rely on GPS to locate a...

China has publicly demonstrated a new class of quadruped robots, dubbed “wolf robots,” during a large-scale military exercise simulating an amphibious attack on Taiwan....

Researchers have developed a new approach to robotic mapping that could help autonomous systems operate in unstable or cluttered environments, such as collapsed buildings...

Israel’s defense-technology sector has entered a period of accelerated consolidation, with eight companies acquired over the past three months by major international defense and...

A new class of small, ground robots is being pitched for frontline missions: low-cost, networked unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that operate in coordinated swarms...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts are developing small aerial robots that rely on sound rather than cameras to navigate, offering new...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a new biomimetic underwater robot designed to operate almost invisibly beneath the surface. Modelled after a jellyfish, the transparent robot...

Robotics has taken a step out of the lab and into living rooms with the introduction of NEO, a consumer-ready humanoid robot designed to...

Artificial intelligence has long excelled at simple games and simulations, but most systems still depend on millions of trial-and-error interactions to learn. That approach,...

A new generation of autonomous agricultural vehicles is emerging, designed to handle field operations with the precision and adaptability of human workers—without human drivers....
