    From CNC Machines to Robots: How Manufacturers Are Building More Automated Production Cells
    An automated production cell is a connected manufacturing system in which machines, robots, controls, sensors, and material-handling equipment work together with limited manual intervention. What once required an operator to load every blank, start every cycle, remove every finished component, and carry parts onward can now happen as one coordinated sequence. This shift does not […]Sam Francis

    Runway moves into robotics with open-weight Praxis-1 AI model
    Runway, one of the best-known developers of generative AI video technology, is moving into robotics with Praxis-1, an open-weight AI model designed to use knowledge learned from video to control physical robots. “Open-weight” means developers can download the model and run or adapt it themselves, rather than only accessing it through Runway’s servers. The company […]Sam Francis

    Opinion: Before buying a household robot, ask how much work it will leave you
    A robot vacuum that empties its own bin sounds like a chore removed. Someone still has to clear cables, untangle brushes and clean the dock. A robot mower keeps the lawn short, but the borders are still yours. So the useful question isn’t “What can this robot do?” It’s “How much of the job will […]Sam Francis

    Opinion: What embodied AI must prove before it has its ‘GPT moment’
    By Steven Yang, founder and editor, RoboSkin.ai Consider an assembly robot that encounters resistance while inserting a component. The camera suggests correct alignment, but the contact could indicate a small positioning error, a tight fit or an obstruction. Pushing harder may complete the insertion or damage the part. A brief withdrawal and controlled repositioning could […]Sam Francis

    Skylark Labs researchers develop AI system that enables robots to keep learning after deployment
    Most AI-powered robots effectively stop learning once they are deployed. Researchers at Skylark Labs, working with academics from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new approach designed to enable robots to continue learning from successful experiences in the real world – without retraining their underlying AI models or forgetting […]Sam Francis

    The robotics engineer skill set is changing. Here’s what senior engineers need now
    By Jakub Tomaszewski, senior robotics engineer at SoftServe My path as a robotics engineer started in 2020, and while my introduction to the world of robotics wasn’t that long ago, the work I’ve done and the industry itself has permuted and evolved so much in just six years. Back then we wrote every line of […]Sam Francis

    Tiny robot developed at the University of Washington can ‘precisely control its jump height’
    By William Poor, University of Washington As our skies increasingly crowd with buzzing, hovering, flitting drones, spare a thought for the humble hopping robot. Hopping, a popular form of locomotion in the insect and amphibian worlds, is nearly two orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than flying. Unlike a mosquito that must constantly expend energy to […]Sam Francis
