By Isaiah Dominguez, Director of Marketing, WiBotic As autonomy moves beyond controlled environments, ruggedized design is becoming a prerequisite for reliable robotic operations. For years, many autonomous mobile robots were designed around a simple assumption: the operating environment would remain relatively predictable. Warehouse floors were flat. Lighting was consistent. Temperatures were controlled. Connectivity was reliable. In those conditions, autonomy could thrive. Today, that assumpt

Apptronik offers a bipedal configuration for movement through spaces built for people, while a wheeled base offers stability and efficiency for high-throughput environments. | Source: Apptronik Apptronik yesterday made two major announcements. First, the company launched Apollo 2, its updated humanoid robot. Second, it opened its newly expanded Robot Park, its flagship data collection and training facility for humanoid robots in Austin, Texas. Apollo 2 comes in both bipedal and wheeled-base conf

By integrating reinforcement learning with high-fidelity physics-based simulation, morph said it enables a faster translation from concept to product. | Source: morph As advances in AI have made robots smarter and more capable, some developers are increasingly focusing solely on the software element of intelligence. Robotics startup morph is taking a different approach, one that sees embodied AI as both a hardware and a software problem. The London-based company embeds sensing and adaptive contr
