Netherlands opens humanoid robot center to overtake China
In a drab business park near Rotterdam, a center has opened where white humanoid robots scurry around next to a gray robot dog doing canine tricks. The new platform is designed to close the gap between Europe and the USA and China in robotics.
Soft robotic cells from morph: physical AI right in the hardware
The startup morph combines reinforcement learning and high-fidelity physics simulation. This, according to the developers, speeds up the path from idea to finished product. While some developers rely exclusively on software and algorithms, the British startup morph takes a broader view of the problem. For them, embodied AI is not only about the code, but also about the hardware.
BMW launches humanoid robot Figure 03 to sort parts in the US
The BMW Group plant in Spartanburg (USA) is preparing to deploy Figure 03. This is an updated humanoid robot from the company Figure. He will be entrusted with the task of sorting parts in logistics, writes Technology.org with reference to BMW.
How AI Navigation Improves the Efficiency of Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaners
Pool cleaning robots used to be judged primarily on suction, brushes, and the amount of debris they collected. This is still important, but no longer defines the whole picture. A robot that moves erratically may clean some areas perfectly and skip others completely. It is capable of repeating the same route endlessly, getting stuck on steps or leaving a dirty waterline.
Norwegian robot versus Chinese giant: is it real?
Market Analysis: 1X opened NEO to Western developers the same week the Pentagon blacklisted Unitree. We wondered whether a relocated - and partially remotely controlled - home robot could replace the company that has surpassed Tesla in shipments. On June 8, 2026, the Pentagon added Unitree, the most famous Chinese manufacturer of humanoids, to the list of Chinese military companies that already included Alibaba, BYD and Baidu.
Compact cobots: how they improve the performance of autonomous mobile robots
Kassow claims its cobots reach hard-to-reach places, lift heavier objects, and perform complex tasks with precision. Automation of warehouse operations - selection and stacking of goods, palletizing and machine maintenance - has brought along new technologies. Robotics and automation are revolutionizing warehouse operations, with productivity rising and labor in short supply.
Agility Robotics goes public on Nasdaq via SPAC
Agility Robotics has agreed to merge with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a publicly traded shell company. If shareholders approve the deal, the maker of the Digit humanoid robot will list on Nasdaq. According to Barron's, the deal is expected to close by the end of 2026. The documents cited by the publication say that either party can withdraw from the agreement if it is not completed by December 31.
Automation leaves the factory floor and moves into the office
For decades, automation has had a clear address. She lived in factory floors, warehouses and along conveyor lines. Now the same logic is making its way into offices where robots were not previously expected. Walk through a modern automated plant and the efficiency is obvious.
Kawasaki Robotics Shows 8-Axis Physical AI Robot at Automate 2026
Kawasaki Robotics showcased its latest automation technology at Automate 2026 in Chicago. At the company's stand, they demonstrated how robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, vision systems and real-time control are changing industrial automation. Among the key premieres is the debut of the RL030N robotic platform with eight degrees of freedom (DoF), created for Physical AI applications.
ABB Robotics and Psyonic teach robots dexterity using human data
ABB Robotics is teaming up with California-based bionic prosthetics developer Psyonic. Together, they intend to advance robotic grasping and dexterity using real-world manipulation data collected from people with prosthetics. The collaboration is based on a combination of the Psyonic Ability Hand prosthesis and the ABB GoFa collaborative robot.
General Intuition raised $320 million to train robots using video games
General Intuition US Inc. raised $320 million in a Series A round. The company will use the funds to create AI models that can perceive, predict and act in virtual and physical environments. Physical AI is now a major topic in robotics. But General Intuition says it has chosen its path.
