  • Tentacle Robot Revolutionises Offshore Inspections – Safer, Smarter & Sustainable Subsea Tech

    Tentacle Robot Revolutionises Offshore Inspections – Safer, Smarter & Sustainable Subsea Tech

    Tentacle Robot Revolutionises Offshore Inspections – Safer, Smarter & Sustainable Subsea Tech


    Meet the ocean’s newest inspector: a tentacle-like robot developed by the UK’s National Robotarium and Brazil’s Senai Cimatec, designed to make offshore subsea inspections safer and more efficient.

    Unlike rigid robotic arms, this one-metre-long soft manipulator bends and conforms to delicate structures, reducing the risk of damage when working near complex subsea equipment.

    It moves using a flexible backbone with tendon-like cables, while sensors allow it to understand its shape and position even in turbulent water.

    In tests, the robot held steady against external forces of up to 300g and could correct its position within seconds when disturbed, showing impressive stability and precision.

    With subsea infrastructure at depths of nearly 3,000 metres requiring constant checks—and decommissioning costs projected to exceed $100 billion by 2030—this technology could extend the safe life of offshore assets while cutting costs and environmental impact.

    Rowanne Miller, project manager at the National Robotarium, said this innovation doesn’t just improve current tools, but fundamentally changes how underwater inspections can be carried out.

    By enabling smaller underwater vehicles to take on inspection work without large vessels or divers, the technology offers a safer, more sustainable, and more economical way to maintain vital offshore energy and marine infrastructure.

  • Google DeepMind’s RoboBallet – How AI Teaches Robots to Work Together Without Crashing

    Google DeepMind’s RoboBallet – How AI Teaches Robots to Work Together Without Crashing

    Google DeepMind’s RoboBallet – How AI Teaches Robots to Work Together Without Crashing


    Picture a group of robots working side by side, moving smoothly without bumping into each other. No crashes, no awkward pauses—just well-coordinated teamwork. That’s the idea behind RoboBallet.

    Programming a single industrial robot is already complex—relying on teach pendants, offline tools, and plenty of trial and error. Now try synchronizing several robots in one shared space. With over 4.3 million industrial robots worldwide, the time and effort required for programming is a real barrier to scaling automation.

    Researchers from Google DeepMind Robotics, Intrinsic, and UCL have developed RoboBallet, an AI system that uses graph neural networks and reinforcement learning to generate collision-free plans for multiple robots. Instead of painstaking coding, it just needs CAD files and a task list.

    In tests, the system coordinated up to eight robots within seconds, producing plans that were about 25% more efficient than traditional methods. And interestingly, as the number of robots increased, task execution times actually dropped by around 60%.

    The name comes from its choreography-like approach. The AI finds harmony between robots—timing, space, and flow—turning what used to be a complex scheduling puzzle into a smooth routine.

    Looking forward, this kind of planning could let factories adapt on the fly to design changes or unexpected events, reducing downtime and increasing flexibility.

    RoboBallet shows that when robots learn to work together gracefully, automation becomes faster, safer, and far easier to scale.

  • China’s Robot Wolves & Nuclear Arsenal – Inside the Military Parade of the Future

    China’s Robot Wolves & Nuclear Arsenal – Inside the Military Parade of the Future

    China’s Robot Wolves & Nuclear Arsenal – Inside the Military Parade of the Future


    At China’s huge military parade, missiles rolled, jets roared… and yes, robot wolves took a stroll through Tiananmen Square. Because nothing says ‘future warfare’ like a robotic pack animal with a rifle on its back. 

    These robot wolves are upgraded robo-dogs—quadruped machines that can march with troops, carry weapons, and climb rough terrain. Think man’s best friend—only with more horsepower and less shedding. 

    They’ve been tested in reconnaissance, precision strikes, and even mine-sweeping, and in CCTV footage they looked almost too well behaved… imagine walking six of those through your local park. 

    The message is clear: China wants to look old-school strong and new-tech sharp at the same time. Robot wolves reduce risk to soldiers, adapt to harsh landscapes, and scare the life out of enemies who suddenly see a mechanical pack running at them. Cute? Not really. Effective? Possibly. 

    Battlefield ready? Still up for debate. Of course, the wolves were just one act. Beijing also rolled out its full nuclear triad—land, sea, and air-based missiles—plus hypersonic weapons, cyber troops, underwater drones, and even a laser cannon. Basically, old tanks met Star Wars tech. So while most armies rely on boots on the ground, China’s bringing paws of steel.

  • Robocore Gets a Foxconn Boost – When Robots Meet Big Money

    Robocore Gets a Foxconn Boost – When Robots Meet Big Money

    Robocore Gets a Foxconn Boost – When Robots Meet Big Money


    Picture this: You’re 85, living in a nursing home, and suddenly your new best friend is… a robot named Temi. Don’t worry – it won’t try to take over the world. It’s too busy taking your blood pressure.

    Hong Kong-based Robocore just struck gold – or should I say, struck Foxconn. The electronics manufacturing giant has committed up to 30 million dollars to help Robocore expand their adorable army of service robots into medical and elderly care markets.

    Now, before you start imagining Terminator-style scenarios, these temi robots are more like helpful digital grandchildren. They’re already working in over 200 nursing homes across New York State, helping doctors complete remote diagnoses in just two minutes. That’s faster than most people can find their reading glasses!

    The secret sauce? These wheeled wonders can roll up to patients equipped with medical sensors, allowing doctors to conduct virtual house calls without the house call. One trip to the hospital from a nursing home can cost 1,200 dollars just for the ambulance ride – but Temi? Well, Temi works for electricity and the occasional software update.

    Robocore isn’t stopping at healthcare. Their robots are already moonlighting as hotel concierges, restaurant assistants, and even teaching aids in over 1,300 schools worldwide. Talk about career diversity!

    With Foxconn’s manufacturing expertise behind them, Robocore expects to achieve five-fold revenue growth by 2028. They’re planning an IPO before 2030, positioning themselves as a major player in the rapidly expanding service robotics market.

  • Inside RealMan’s New Beijing Robotics Training Center – 108 Robots, AI Data & Real-World Testing

    Inside RealMan’s New Beijing Robotics Training Center – 108 Robots, AI Data & Real-World Testing

    Inside RealMan’s New Beijing Robotics Training Center – 108 Robots, AI Data & Real-World Testing


    RealMan Robotics has just opened a brand-new Humanoid Robotics Data Training Center in Beijing—and it’s no small step. At 3,000 square meters, the hub brings together research and development, scenario testing, operator training, and collaboration all under one roof.

    On opening day, RealMan introduced the RealBOT Embodied Intelligence Open Platform, built for large-scale data acquisition. The center is split into a training zone and an application zone, and already home to 108 robots of all shapes and sizes—dual-arm manipulators, wheeled semi-humanoids, drone-arms, and even four-legged robots. Quite the roll call.

    To make training realistic, the team has constructed ten real-world environments—eldercare facilities, rehabilitation wards, auto assembly lines, smart catering spaces, and more. These generate over one million high-quality data points each year, the fuel for building more capable AI models.

    Eric Zheng, who heads the center, explained that robotics still faces three big roadblocks: adapting across different scenarios, bridging the gap between simulation and reality, and standardizing data for faster iteration. The new hub tackles these with a full pipeline—from collecting data, to training, to deploying robots in the field.

    Founded in 2018, RealMan has already built robots for retail, food service, healthcare, aerospace, education, and industrial use. With this center, the company is pushing to close the gap between today’s robots—often too costly, slow to deploy, or limited in ability—and the versatile helpers we imagine for everyday life.

    ALLEX The Humanoid Robot With Human-Like Responsiveness – WIRobotics Unveils the Future

    ALLEX The Humanoid Robot With Human-Like Responsiveness – WIRobotics Unveils the Future


    Meet ALLEX—short for “ALL-Experience”—WIRobotics’ new humanoid robot that doesn’t just move, it responds with remarkable realism to the world around it.

    Unveiled in South Korea at the Robot Innovation Hub, ALLEX’s upper body comes equipped with a highly dexterous hand that can sense tiny forces, as light as a strawberry resting on your palm, while still being strong enough to lift heavy loads. This means it can delicately handle tasks like threading a needle yet confidently grip bulkier items without breaking a sweat.

    Its advanced actuators offer ten times lower friction than conventional robotic arms, giving it smooth, natural, and compliant motion. In simple terms, it’s a robot that can shake your hand without accidentally crushing it—a reassuring step forward.

    ALLEX also features a gravity-compensated torso, allowing fluid and precise movements, almost like a mechanical ballet dancer designed for real-world tasks. WIRobotics plans to expand this into a modular platform, meaning arms, hands, and control systems could be swapped or combined, much like building blocks for future robotics.

    To accelerate its progress, the company has partnered with RLWRLD and top research institutions including MIT, UIUC, UMass, KIST, and Maxon. With backing from ex-Samsung robotics engineers, their ambition is bold: by 2030, humanoid robots that can safely work and live alongside humans may be as common as home appliances.

    ALLEX isn’t just a machine that mimics movement—it’s a step toward robots that genuinely experience and respond to the real world. And if all goes to plan, the future might involve a robot roommate who helps fold laundry without ever complaining.

  • John Deere Acquires GUSS Automation – The Future of Autonomous Farming

    John Deere Acquires GUSS Automation – The Future of Autonomous Farming

    John Deere Acquires GUSS Automation – The Future of Autonomous Farming


    John Deere, the iconic name in agriculture, has just strengthened its robotics portfolio by acquiring GUSS Automation, a California-based developer of autonomous crop spraying machines. The two companies first formed a joint venture in 2022, but this acquisition takes that partnership to the next level.

    GUSS will continue to operate under its own name, brand, and with its team and facility in Kingsburg, California. This location is right in the heart of the U.S. high-value crop market, where orchards and vineyards generate far more per acre than traditional grains.

    So why is GUSS such a big deal? Its autonomous sprayers allow one operator to manage up to eight machines at once. Using GPS, lidar, and proprietary software, these sprayers navigate orchards and vineyards with precision, reducing labour needs, minimising errors, and cutting down on waste. It is like farming with a fleet of self-driving assistants—only these ones never complain about overtime.

    To date, GUSS machines have already sprayed over 2.6 million acres across the globe, racking up more than half a million autonomous hours. That experience, combined with John Deere’s reach and technology, sets the stage for even faster innovation and expansion.

    John Deere will continue to be the exclusive provider of GUSS sprayers and will integrate them with its wider precision agriculture tools, such as Smart Apply. They will also continue using John Deere engines, which were first built into GUSS sprayers in 2024.

    This move builds on Deere’s history of autonomy investments, including acquisitions of Blue River Technology, Bear Flag Robotics, and SparkAI. From fully autonomous tractors to next-generation sprayers, John Deere is steadily rolling out robotics across its product line.

  • Meet Robomart RM5 – The Giant Grocery Delivery Robot That Could Replace Couriers

    Meet Robomart RM5 – The Giant Grocery Delivery Robot That Could Replace Couriers

    Meet Robomart RM5 – The Giant Grocery Delivery Robot That Could Replace Couriers


    Robomart has unveiled the RM5, a shuttle-bus-sized autonomous delivery vehicle designed to make on-demand delivery finally work at scale.

    The fully electric RM5 can carry up to 500 pounds of goods in ten climate-controlled lockers, each holding around 50 pounds. Travelling at a safe top speed of 25 miles per hour, it has a range of 112 miles—making it more like a rolling mini-supermarket than a sidewalk robot.

    Here’s how it works: customers will use the Robomart app to place an order from retailers and grocery stores. The RM5 then collects items from multiple shops, creates a dynamic multi-stop route, and brings the deliveries directly to customers. On arrival, the app unlocks the customer’s assigned locker, and the order is collected—quick, simple, and contact-free.

    Unlike traditional couriers, Robomart says this model cuts fulfillment costs by up to 70 percent, since each vehicle can handle many orders at once. The company also promises a flat $3 delivery fee, with no markups, no service charges, and no tipping.

    Founded in 2018, Robomart has already trialed the concept with modified vans and partnered with brands such as Unilever and Mars. With less than $5 million raised to date, the company is now preparing for launch in Austin, Texas later this year.

    In short, the RM5 is a bold step beyond sidewalk bots, offering scale, efficiency, and affordability—with the promise of making autonomous delivery finally practical.

    Boston Dynamics’ Atlas Just Got Smarter – How Large Behavior Models Are Shaping the Future of Humanoids

    Boston Dynamics’ Atlas Just Got Smarter – How Large Behavior Models Are Shaping the Future of Humanoids


    Boston Dynamics, together with Toyota Research Institute, is pushing humanoid robots to the next level with Atlas. To be genuinely useful, humanoids need to handle a wide range of tasks—everything from delicately picking up small objects to shifting heavy ones, all while staying balanced and reacting to surprises.

    Their solution? Large behavior models—think of them as AI brains that help Atlas turn language commands into precise, full-body movements. So if you say, “Put that part on the shelf,” Atlas not only understands what to grab, but also how to step, crouch, and avoid knocking itself over in the process.

    The training comes from humans using VR headsets to teleoperate Atlas, almost like piloting a very advanced avatar. These demonstrations feed into neural networks, giving the robot the ability to learn from experience and generalize across many tasks. Drop a part on the floor? No problem—Atlas can adapt and recover.

    Boston Dynamics calls this the foundation for general-purpose robots—machines that can take on almost any job we can show them. Today it’s assembling and sorting parts. Tomorrow, maybe something more ambitious. The point is: with these large behavior models, humanoids are getting a lot closer to working alongside us in real-world environments.
