I came across a comment by author Joanna Maciejewska: “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” Well, guess what, Joanna? LG heard […]
Ah… humanoids, humanity’s other long-running fantasy right after flying. We have dreamed of robots like I, Robot’s Sonny for decades, but until recently, what we got were robots that still walked like ASIMO. That was in 2023. Well, not anymore. I honestly do not know how or when we went […]
Folks, we are at an age where different tech merges. While Toyota has proposed a walking chair for people with walking difficulties, the researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Exoskeleton Lab, and Angel Robotics, envisioned giving complete paraplegia the ability to walk again. The WalkON […]
Toyota is more than just an automaker. It also engineers personal walking devices to assist people with mobility difficulties, and it dabbles in robotic development. Now, pooling its knowledge of automaking, personal mobility devices, and robotics, the marque has unveiled a concept mobility device that has “legs” instead of wheels. […]
I suspect that the Cybertronian lifeforms who call themselves Transformers are leveraging Robosen Robotics to progressively infiltrate Earth. How so? Well, Robosen first brought Optimus Prime to Earth, then Megatron followed behind. Not too long after, Bumblebee came along, and now the superior Decepticon, Soundwave, has arrived, too. That’s right, […]
China’s avant-garde automaker Xiaopeng rocked the world not with its EVs but with its audacious ambition for an actual flying car and a now-in-production van with a VTOL built into it, called the HT Aero Land Air Carrier. The company has yet again rocked the world—this time with a humanoid […]
Have you ever imagined your phone coming to life? No, not like in the Transformers movies when it got struck by a shard of AllSpark. That would be nasty. Never mind if you did not, because Honor did. The smartphone maker has revealed a concept based around a robot phone, […]
If you like a robot with artificial intelligence to stalk like Portal’s GLaDOS, but in a good way and not try to manipulate you to do anything, well, you are in luck. The future has just presented itself in the form of an AI robot designed to stalk, no, wait, […]
We have seen our fair share of robot lawnmowers, but this one from Roborock has us do a double-take. Why? Well, because the RockMow Z1 looks more like a Moon or Mars rover than an automated lawnmower. The RockMow Z1 is one of the two RockMow series lawnmowers, and one […]
This is it. The future is here because Robot Rental service is now a thing. Well, at least it is in Japan. Meet Robo Renta — Japan’s new take on “try before you buy,” but with robots instead of shoes. Forget saving up for that pricey humanoid assistant or robotic […]
Forget about real-life Real Steel in tiny proportion, because the world is about to witness the first-ever Robot Free Fighting Competition. Set to happen this December in Shenzhen, the world’s first full-scale combat tournament will feature life-sized humanoid robots putting their physical strength and intelligence to the test. This futuristic […]
