Robots Get to Work: From Snake-Like Machines to Cat-Faced Assistants
This week’s robotics roundup showcases advancements in agility, automation, and-surprisingly-emotional design.
- Ground Control Robotics demonstrates a versatile,insect-inspired robot now available commercially.
- UBTECH reports building over 1,000 of its Walker S2 humanoid robots, with more than 500 already deployed.
- AgileX Robotics is building a data-sharing facility to accelerate the progress of embodied intelligence in robots.
- Pudu Robotics continues to refine its service robots, even experimenting with cat-like faces.
The line between robotics research and real-world submission is blurring, as evidenced by the growing number of robots transitioning from labs to practical use. Ground Control Robotics, for example, is now offering its insect-inspired robots as commercial products, showcasing a leap from concept to capability.
