Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a biohybrid robot hand powered by lab-grown human muscle tissue, capable of performing complex gestures like a scissor motion and grabbing objects.
US-based robotics firm Apptronik has secured $350 million in a recent funding round, spearheaded by B Capital and Capital Factory, with additional backing from Google’s parent company Alphabet. The funding will be used to scale production of the company’s humanoid robot, Apollo, which is designed to automate tasks in supply chains, such as moving packages in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Tombot Inc., a US-based robotics company, has recently unveiled 'Jennie', a lifelike robotic puppy designed to provide emotional support for people with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other mental health challenges.
Inspired by the film series Iron Man, researchers in South Korea have unveiled a lightweight robotic exoskeleton designed to assist individuals with paraplegia, the paralysis of the lower half of the body including both legs, in walking, navigating obstacles, and climbing stairs.
A robot dog in South Korea has made history by becoming the first four-legged robot to complete a full-length marathon without needing to recharge its batteries. Named RAIBO2, the advanced quadrupedal robot, developed by researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), covered the 42-kilometer distance of the Sangju Dried Persimmon Marathon in a time of 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 52 seconds.
In 2022, China secured its position as the global leader in industrial automation, accounting for over half of the world's total industrial robot installations, as per a finding by the International Federation of Robotics. Even now, the country continues to be a strong contender in the production of industrial robots.
A robot civil servant in South Korea was found at the bottom of a six-and-a half foot staircase in Gumi City Hall, speculated to have committed the country's first "robot suicide". The robot, named 'Robot Supervisor' by citizens, was discovered unresponsive after what eyewitnesses reported as unusual behaviours - moving in circles and showing visible signs of confusion.
An engineer at Tesla was reportedly attacked by a robot, according to an injury report filed with regulators. The incident happened at Tesla's Giga Texas factory near Austin in 2021 but was discovered recently, as per a report by The Independent.
