Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

With the age of humanoids upon us, Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted that his robots will curb crime, eliminate poverty and do surgery.

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that disappears.

Robots displayed at CES 2026 show they're not trying to be sci-fi anymore. They’re practical, folding laundry and offering companionship.

For years, progress in robotics has followed a familiar pattern. Researchers train increasingly powerful vision-language-action models in controlled environment

The brain of the robot is a tiny electronic computer that features a processor, memory and sensors, making it the first sub-millimetre robot capable of real decision-making. “We had to totally rethink the computer program instructions," said Professor David Blaauw from the University of Michigan, whose lab created the computer.

At the CES trade show in Las Vegas this week, robots poured coffee, played ping pong, dealt poker hands and folded laundry — all within a few feet of one another.

SenseRobot manufactures chess and Go robots that independently move pieces with robot arms, recognize game moves, and offer training up to master level.

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, where the robot refines its movements and predicts its ...

We live in an age where a giant robot movie doesn’t seem all that special. Thanks to over a decade of Transformers movies and the excellent Pacific Rim, the novelty of getting a giant robot movie that takes itself seriously is lost on modern audiences.
