Robotics news and real-world deployments

Decommissioning humanoid robots that are packed with proprietary tech is a tricky thing – you want to make sure none of the expensive raw material goes to waste, but you also need to make sure no one else gets a hold of your tech. The…

Patent protection is important for robotics startups, but they should be strategic in determining what IP is important, says Lightbringer.

The devices continue to show noticeable benefits for users in various real-world tasks.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has clarified that instead of using 72GB of DDR5 RAM, his firm's AI5 chip will instead use 96GB in order to ensure that the firm is not the only one relying on using the minimum 72GB specification for the chip that will…

Elon Musk says the main thing holding back Tesla Robotaxi’s night hours is that the cars have a hard time seeing pets in the dark. His example was “grey kittens on grey tarmac.” That’s a low-light, low-contrast detection problem, which is…
