How to advertise robots? 📺 What a genius move by @ABBgroupnews! See how they approached advertising their new OmniCore control system, promoting precision as well as speed through the robot's movements between glasses. 🍸 Marketing for robots heavily relies on video content…
AI craves form, and robots are ready to deliver. We have been building them for decades: industrial arms, drones, AMRs, quadrupeds. The real challenge today isn’t building robots it’s making them autonomous, adaptable, and ready to scale. Curious how robotics is reshaping…
A 3D-printed robotic hand for under $200? 🤯 @huggingface just made it real. They’ve open-sourced the Amazing Hand, a lightweight, fully 3D-printable robotic hand with 8 degrees of freedom, no cables, and a build cost under €200. Each of its four fingers is powered by two…
A new model, a new robot to hang clothes! 👕 ByteDance unveiled GR-3 — a new AI model bridging vision, language, and action for generalist robotics. Yes, that's the Chinese equivalent of Meta. They are now heavily into robotics research. Let's see what's sitting under GR3.…
A drone or a submarine? 🫧 A student just built a drone that flies through the air and swims underwater — and it actually works. As part of his Bachelor’s project, Andrei Copaci created a 3D-printed, hybrid drone with variable pitch propellers, meaning the blades shift…
De-icing power lines! ⚡️ I bet you haven't seen a use case for a drone like this! During extreme temperatures below -10°C, this drone protects transmission lines. The DJI drone is capable of removing ice from power lines and preventing power outages. For dislodging the ice…
Let’s paint a motorcycle fuel tank! Well… the robot will do it. Meet the world’s first explosion-proof collaborative paint robot: the @FANUCAmerica CRX-10iA/L Paint. Built for painting, powder coating, and fiberglass work, this cobot combines industrial safety with…
Home office as excavator operator be like! 🚧 No, this isn’t “Excavator Simulator 2.0”. These are real construction workers in China remotely operating excavators... from an office. What used to be hard physical labor is now an air-conditioned desk job. Operators sit at…
🚨 BREAKING @UnitreeRobotics is preparing to go public in China! 🇨🇳 The robotics startup has kicked off its IPO process, officially entering the “tutoring” phase. The company has secured 90 government and university contracts in China worth over $5.4 million, with over half of…
Hamster-powered robot? 🐹 A robot that looks like a hamster ball and can fly over obstacles on its own. Revolute Robotics created a machine called the Hybrid Mobility Robot. I had a chance to meet their team in Boston earlier this year. Two special rings allow this robot to…
