Skyports Drone Services is providing fully automated Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone-in-a-box surveying for the HumeLink West power lines project in New South Wales, Australia. HumeLink West is part of Transgrid's HumeLink project, which will deliver approximately 140 km of new 500 kV double-circuit transmission lines.
Inconsistent parts cause problems on automated assembly lines because machines repeat the same motion each cycle and cannot adjust to slight variations. While an operator can set aside a warped bracket, a feeder or robot keeps going until it jams, rejects a good assembly, or lets a bad one through.
The article highlights the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition fueled by PNY-supplied GPUs, noting that as robotics systems grow faster, more precise, and increasingly reliant on AI-driven vision and control, interconnects are being asked to do more than ever.
According to The Robot Report, Daimon Robotics is connecting tactile sensing, real-world data collection, simulation, and AI models to help robots perform physical tasks more reliably.
Robotic process automation (RPA) is often sold to mid-size companies as a quick win, where bots perform tasks faster than humans. However, issues arise when a process needs to cross systems, suggesting a need for custom process automation.
The Robot Group, the authorised UK distributor for X-Humanoid (developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center), is inviting expressions of interest from UK businesses and research organisations in its TianGong and Tianyi humanoid robots, providing a UK commercial contact for discussing applications and potential projects.
The Robot Report published a guide on choosing a brushless DC (BLDC) motor for robotic arms and mobile robots, noting that factors from sensors to safety, and whether the motor is for a robotic arm or mobile platform, help determine the selection. The available context offers no further details.
A columnist at The Robot Report argues that because humans play a key role in developing humanoid robots and training AI models, we can maintain control, making AI-equipped humanoids helpers rather than enemies. The piece is an opinion column, and no specific experiments or data are cited in the available context.
A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed the Embodied Sensorimotor Robotic Arm (EmArm), which embeds a soft optical tactile skin into a robotic skeleton and integrates it with a real-time decision-making algorithm. According to the team, EmArm provides whole-arm tactile sensing across the upper and lower arms, can distinguish touches such as tickling and patting, respond in real time, and avoid obstacles through tactile feedback.
Ben Waters explains why opportunity charging is becoming essential for keeping autonomous robot fleets moving, scalable, and operationally efficient as fleets scale. The article was published by The Robot Report.
This opinion piece argues that for startups, product teams, and established companies testing a new concept, custom MVP app development services can turn a promising idea into a working product before time, budget, and internal energy are spent in the wrong direction, adding that an MVP is not a rough draft thrown into the market.
Tesla filed a US patent application for a touch-sensitive 'skin' that can be molded around robot fingers and palms. This technology potentially offers humanoid robots a scalable method for detecting contact, force, and pressure.
Skild AI has demonstrated a self-play training approach that enables robots to develop physical skills without relying on human demonstrations, using its S1 robotics foundation model to learn soccer through more than 140 years of simulated play. The company says the technique could eventually allow robots to acquire increasingly complex skills in settings such as factories and construction.
Scientists at ETH Zurich demonstrated that an anthropomorphic robotic hand can use its fingers for locomotion as well as manipulation, enabling it to crawl, recover from falls and move around its environment without a separate mobility system. The research used an off-the-shelf robotic hand from dexterous-hand developer WUJI.
The article discusses static application security testing (SAST) tools for Python and Java automation backends, noting that beyond robot controllers, Python services queuing tasks and Java backends responding to API requests can also harbor bugs, including weak validators within an API. The supplied context is limited and offers no further details.
According to Tech Xplore, Roomba-like robots that walk on magnetic feet are designed to scrub unwanted sea matter off giant ships. The article describes how Timothy Wong's dives off the coast of Rockport and his study of robotics mechanisms led to his mission of finding a way to clean large vessels.
