This article is brought to you by VicOne.Robot safety has traditionally asked: Can a machine remain safe when something goes wrong? Physical AI raises a harder question: Can a machine remain safe when an attacker changes what it sees, decides, or does even when nothing appears to have failed?As AI…
Despite the recent deluge of videos of humanoid robots doing backflips and kung fu, the actual pace of progress towards humanoids that can do economically viable jobs at scale has at times seemed a bit plodding.
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is using open source AI tools to model children’s hearts in seconds — with the goal of enabling safer, more precise care for kids with congenital heart disease.
The humanoid industry has spent billions teaching robots to walk through doorways. MW, a two-year-old Tokyo startup, skipped the legs entirely: its…

The next wave of global tech companies may not come from a single city or ecosystem, but from a network of countries each specialized in specific parts of the startup lifecycle. Asia is already running that model.
Dexterous manipulation remains one of the biggest barriers keeping robots from successfully tackling a wide range of everyday tasks. A sense of touch could be the key, but a lack of quality data has held back progress.
Tesla built its slick Cybercab without a steering wheel or pedals. Days after paid rides launched in Austin, the two-seater is showing strange quirks (and a…
Today’s issue looks into where Southeast Asian AI and robotics firms can build value as they increasingly adopt Chinese tech in their businesses.
You sit down and put your arm in the cradle. You press a button. The machine takes it from there.A near-infrared light sweeps your inner elbow, hunting for a vein. A puff of alcohol hits your skin. An ultrasound probe glides across your arm, mapping how deep the vessel runs and which way it bends.
Imagine you are trapped under rubble after an earthquake and you see an electronics-covered cockroach with a spring-loaded needle on its back scuttling toward you.

On a good day, the rock quarry in central Texas is about 370,000 kilometers (230,000 miles) from the moon. But last February, when Rishi Jangale watched his 1.8-meter-wide, 150-kilogram inflatable robot roll effortlessly over rocks, gravel, and wet clay, his imagination turned the quarry into the…
Pulling bad parts by hand dates back to 1960s assembly lines. I built a local defect detector using a webcam, RF-DETR, and a desktop robot arm. Ten training photos and 0.2 seconds per frame run the full detect, decide, pick, and verify loop right on my desk.
