Genesis AI unveiled Eno, a new humanoid robot that challenges the industry's conventional "Terminator Chic" aesthetic. Eno adopts a minimalist design without a head or face, and its mechanical features are internally hidden. The robot features highly dexterous hands with 20 degrees of freedom, capable of complex tasks like wire bundling and precise lab automation, powered by Genesis AI's GENE foundation model. Eno's design questions whether robots need to look human to be accepted in homes and [...]

Automate UK has partnered with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO) to create Britain's first regulatory guidance for collaborative robotics in the workplace. The guidance aims to address uncertainty around compliance, particularly for collaborative robots, which is a key barrier to adoption in the UK. The UK ranks 24th globally for industrial robot density, despite ranking first for academic robotics research. The project will produce the first ever HSE-supported guidance on [...]

Built Robotics has partnered with the University of Pennsylvania's Safe Autonomous Systems Lab (xLAB) to develop physical AI for construction sites. The collaboration will leverage Built's dataset and a new robot to create a world foundation model for safe machine-human coexistence. xLAB researchers will analyze the data to design AI models capable of detecting humans in atypical conditions and unique construction environments. The partnership aims to improve safety in construction and set a new standard for physical [...]

AgiBot's full-size humanoid robot, Yuanzheng A3, has successfully mastered autonomous table tennis, marking the first time a full-size bipedal humanoid has completed a match with fully autonomous decision-making. The robot uses a closed-loop control system, processing visual perception, predicting trajectories, and striking the ball with precision, thanks to a collaboration with Peking University's team led by Zhang Shanghang. This breakthrough demonstrates the robot's ability to engage in high-speed dynamic interactions, suggesting it is ready for real-world deployment.

Genesis AI has unveiled Eno, a general-purpose robot powered by the company's foundation model, GENE. The robot features a cognitive interface that allows for real-time transparency and can be used in various settings, including industrial and service industries. Genesis AI prioritized mobility, dexterity, and real-world functionality over a fully human appearance, designing Eno to interact with tools and objects in a human-like manner. The company plans to begin Eno's production and targeted customer deployments by the end [...]

Samsung Electronics is reorganizing its second-half business strategy around artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce costs, maximize marketing efficiency, and expand market share. The company is holding global strategy meetings for its Device eXperience (DX) division from the 16th to the 18th and its semiconductor (DS) division on the 18th. AI will be introduced across global sales and distribution organizations, and Samsung is also returning 120 Middle East expatriates to pursue business-to-business orders. The company aims to cement [...]

Kawasaki Robotics will debut its RL030N physical AI platform at Automate in Chicago, showcasing the company's latest innovations in industrial automation and robotics. The RL030N is an eight degree-of-freedom platform designed for physical AI applications, offering high-speed motion, enhanced dexterity, and real-time external orchestration capabilities. The company will also demonstrate its patented Pulseboard inspection technology and introduce new industrial robots, including the MXP360L and BA013L. Kawasaki's booth will feature systems for advanced motion control and flexible manufacturing, [...]
