US Navy’s New Autonomous Ships Are Designed To Be Built At Rapid Speed
The United States Navy is the most powerful blue-water navy in the world, and it takes a lot to keep it running. While the Navy's aircraft carriers, submarines, and other various types of modern warships get most of the attention, that's hardly all the service...
Ubtech’s Goal To Mass-Produce 10,000 Humanoid Robots By 2026 Gets Siemens Backing
Chinese robotics firm UBTech has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Siemens Digital Industries Software to accelerate the large-scale manufacturing of humanoid robots and achieve an annual production capacity of 10,000 units in 2026. The agreement, signed...
Robots Are Dueling With Robots In The Russian-Ukrainian Kill Zones
The Russia-Ukraine War has rapidly accelerated the use of military robots, as both sides field new technologies to gain an edge over their adversaries. As Russia and Ukraine employ larger numbers of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs),...
What Is The Future Of Advanced Robotics In Manufacturing?

New 3D Vision System Lets Humanoid Robots Navigate Without Human Help
A vision company is proving that robots can finally see well enough to be trusted around people. A humanoid robot moved around a space, mapping it, avoiding obstacles, and climbing surfaces without anyone holding its hand. No remote control. No tightly scripted...
Robots Need Offices Too: The AI Boom Comes To NYC Real Estate
After five years, the “for rent” signs are disappearing from New York City’s office towers as the city welcomes a new influx of deep-pocketed tenants: AI companies. Despite mounting fears about the threats artificial intelligence poses to the economy, Anthropic,...
Autonomous Firefighting Robot Can Drive Straight Into A 1,000 Degree Blaze
Firefighters in South Korea will soon start deploying alongside a massive, six-wheeled, self-cooling autonomous robot that could help keep them safe. Hyundai recently revealed the new, driverless ground drone, built atop a chassis initially intended for military use...
Smart Mobility Today: 16 March 2026
What I love and hate about preparing for the podcast is that I read every article that we include -- from beginning to end whether it is a short announcement or a dissertation by a renowned researcher with an unpronounceable name. The downside is that it can be time...
Engineers Make Magnets Behave Like Graphene
Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in graphene and magnetic waves in specially engineered materials. By designing a thin magnetic film with a hexagonal pattern of holes—similar to...
Long Road To AVs Paves The Way For Autonomous Robots
Despite many public predictions that autonomous vehicles (AVs) would be the dominant vehicle platform by 2020, the road to autonomy has been a difficult one, paved with market, technical, legal, and regulatory challenges. However, with more than a decade of investment...
