Robotics News: AI-Powered Robots, Humanoids & Automation 🤖 Robotics

20 stories

Robotics is where AI stops being software. This page covers embodied AI end to end: humanoid platforms from Figure, Tesla, Unitree and Agility; robot foundation models and vision-language-action systems; warehouse, logistics and manufacturing automation; surgical and lab robotics; and the sensor and actuator hardware underneath it all. We track funding rounds and commercial deployments as closely as research, because in robotics the gap between a lab demo and a machine that survives a real workday is where most of the story lives.
