The Physical AI Fellowship provides robotics and AI developers with access to MassRobotics, AWs, and NVIDIA resources and mentorship.

CMU and King’s College London evaluated how robots using LLMs behave when they have access to personal information.

Miniaturization offers robotics designers new levels of power efficiency, nimbleness, and precision for a range of applications.

PickNik Robotics said this collaboration will help to address one of the central bottlenecks in AI and robotics development.

WPI researchers are enabling aerial robots, smaller than 100 mm and weighing less than 100 g, to navigate without relying on vision.

The TU Delft researchers said their algorithm enables drones to carry heavier payloads together, even in windy conditions.

The NRP aims to catalyse differentiated robotics capabilities in Singapore by funding use-inspired research and use-driven development.

The Hub’s initial focus areas leverage both institutions’ strengths in artificial intelligence and robotics, Amazon and CMU said.

The ARM Institute said the technologies will be demonstrated in real, shipyard-representative environments by the end of the project.

Community colleges like Sierra College offer mechatronics programs that directly address the robotics industry’s labor shortage.

Between robotic companies shutting down, large funding rounds, and product releases, there was plenty of robotic news in September.

Nick Hawes, a professor of robotics and AI at the University of Oxford, talks about the reality and potential of these technologies.

Framework focuses on addressing the unique risks and capabilities of humanoids to enable their safe and effective deployment across applications.

The Jumpstart program invites all female high school juniors and seniors with a passion for robotics and technology to apply, said MassRobotics.

A whole-body control foundation model could help launch humanoid robots toward general-purpose capability, says Agility Robotics.

Amazon Robotics said the innovation lies in leveraging a visual model as its backbone and performing feasibility checking and test-time optimization based on physical constraints derived from tactile and proprioceptive observations.

The researchers said the model learns to plan trajectories by trial and error, eventually developing generalized strategies that can be applied to new, unseen layouts.

UC Berkeley Prof. Ken Goldberg shares his thoughts about humanoid hype and the emerging paradigm shift in the robotics field.

Investments, leadership changes, earnings reports, new research, and new product releases took center stage in August 2025.

An international group of roboticists, including three from MIT, debated the best way to approach robotic manipulation moving forward.

Exoskeleton combines machine learning and a physics-based model to learn each user’s unique movements and provide support for daily activities like eating and drinking.

For robots to be predictable and adaptive, they need a priority-based architecture and a new legal model, argues a researcher.
