Raytheon has developed the Coyote Block 3 Non-Kinetic system to protect military forces from drone threats. During a recent U.S. Army test, it successfully defeated multiple drone swarms without using explosives, reducing the risk of damage to nearby areas. The reusable Coyote drone can stay airborne, intercept incoming drones, and return after completing its mission, making it a cost-effective counter-drone solution.

Austria-based startup CycloTech is developing flying aircraft powered by CycloRotor technology instead of traditional propellers. The company plans to build a four-seater air taxi with four CycloRotors, offering an 85 km range, 40 minutes of flight time, and a cruising speed of 150 km/h. Each CycloRotor uses rotating wings that continuously change their angle to generate thrust, allowing the aircraft to move precisely in any direction.

Figure 03, powered by Helix AI, can now jog with a smooth, human-like running style at speeds of about 2 meters per second. Shared by Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock earlier this year, the robot learned to run through reinforcement learning instead of relying on pre-programmed movements. It continuously adjusts its balance and footsteps in real time, marking another step toward more natural humanoid locomotion.
