The secret of humanoid marathon robots
On April 19, 2026, the humanoid robot Honor Lightning ran a half marathon in 50 minutes 26 seconds. This is 7 minutes faster than the human world record and almost two hours better than the best robot of 2025. How did they do it? Is there some kind of magical technology or special method behind this?
Humanizing robots improves factory worker productivity
Factory workers who treat industrial robots as colleagues, and even attribute human qualities to them, are more productive and feel better, according to a study at the Alberta School of Business. Researchers found that relationships with machines can develop even when robots were not specifically designed to encourage them.
When will AI robots become part of our daily lives?
Many AI robots look smart - as long as they work in controlled conditions. Neuroscientist and roboticist Elisa Donati explains why real-world-ready machines need more than fast software. Robots already perform a huge number of tasks: they work in factories, deliver packages and clean apartments.
Can AI tell you where you left your keys?
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a long-term memory system for robots. It allows machines to quickly form and reproduce detailed mental models of complex spaces. The new method combines advanced cartographic representations with detailed descriptions of the environment. The robot collects this data during long movements and instantly accesses memory to answer complex questions in ordinary language.
Evaluation of humanoid robots for surface finishing
Sanding, polishing, sandblasting, sanding, coating and painting - these manufacturing processes are used in a wide variety of industries. From an ergonomic point of view, such tasks are a real challenge and pose serious risks to human health. It is not surprising that companies are increasingly thinking about automating these operations with the help of robots.
Genesis AI unveils humanoid robot Eno
Eno is a general purpose humanoid robot. But he doesn’t know how to walk like a person. His element is practical work. The design is simple: a wheeled platform, an adjustable body and two dexterous hands. All this allows him to operate in factories, laboratories, hospitals, warehouses and commercial premises.
Genesis AI introduced Eno - a headless humanoid robot with dexterous hands
Genesis AI introduced Eno, its first humanoid robot. It has a sleek, headless body, a wheeled base, and a pair of very dexterous hands. Forbes, which received private access to the robot in San Carlos (California), writes: Eno is still an early prototype. Industrial deliveries to customers are planned for the end of 2026, and home use will take even longer.
Top Computer Vision Companies in 2026
The right computer vision development company is one that suits the environment where your model will run. This could be a camera chip, a cloud-based SaaS product, a medical device, or a real-time video surveillance system. SQUAD is a strong choice for peripheral equipment and smart cameras.
Burro presents Grande 44 with proven autonomy for heavy industrial applications
The Grande 44 is Burro's most powerful autonomous platform to date and the first built for heavy industry. Physical AI is making field robotics much more capable. Burro has launched the Grande 44, a platform with 44 peak horsepower, a 6,000-pound towing capacity and the ability to operate both indoors and outdoors.
Rabbit robot remembers voices from the first greeting to take care of the elderly
Researchers from the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) have developed an AI-based technique that allows a companion robot to recognize people by voice from the first phrase. A prototype called Mia, which resembles a pet rabbit, is already being tested in day centers in Madrid for personalized stimulation for older people with cognitive impairment.
Agile Robots at Robot Technology Japan
Agile Robots is coming to Japan. At Robot Technology Japan (RTJ) 2026, the company will show a wide range of industrial robots, embodied AI technologies and humanoid machines. All this is part of expansion in the global automation market. The company's headquarters are in Munich.
