Humanoid robots are moving from laboratories into industrial and commercial environments, creating a need for developers to address how humans and robots can safely work together. A company is presenting a free webinar to discuss human-machine interaction design for humanoids, focusing on how to build trust and safety through predictability rather than human-like appearance. The webinar will cover how robots can communicate their intentions, operate safely alongside humans without barriers, and use artificial intelligence for more natural interactions instead of rigid programming. Experts will explain how combining engineering with animation techniques helps robots avoid seeming uncanny by embracing their mechanical form.

It’s the world’s first table-integrated, soft-tissue robotics system. The robot-in-table design is meant to save space in the operating room, with J&J saying its novel architecture takes up 30-50% less space tha
Generalist’s GEN-1 foundation model now supports a range of robot end effectors
Generalist’s latest embodied foundation model, GEN-1, now supports a broad range of robot end effectors. The company said GEN-1 is compatible with five-fingered hands to specialized tools with new modes of actuation and everything in between. By training GEN-1 to work with these new hands, Generalist said it is demonstrating that a single base AI model can learn sensorimotor policies on robots that transfer across radically different ways of interacting with the physical world. Below, the
