The ATEC2026 – AI and Robotics Real-World Extreme Challenge officially launched today.

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Strider, a new robot from Oxford Dynamics, partly supported by the UK's Ministry of Defence, is said to endure severe radiation-heavy environments, taking over tasks in dangerous areas from humans. As ...

At ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, engineers have created ANYmal-D, a four-legged robot that can play badminton with people. This project brings together robotics, artificial intelligence and sports ...

A new video (above) out of South Korea features the field tests and interaction capabilities of KAIST Humanoid v0.7, developed at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). The ...

Dynamic liquid crystal elastomer composites enable a 3D-printed soft robot that switches between three propulsion modes on ...

Hugging Face, a company that hosts open source artificial intelligence models and software, announced today that it has acquired Pollen Robotics, the French startup behind the bug-eyed, two-armed, ...

Dynamic modelling and control of robotic systems constitute a vital area of research, where the formulation of precise mathematical models of robot dynamics underpins the design of effective control ...

Unlike traditional competitions limited to indoor or scripted tasks, ATEC2026 evaluates whether robots can autonomously complete long-horizon, continuous complex tasks in open, dynamic, and ...
