Gravity-defying robot! 🦎 VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot created by Disney Research and ETH Zürich that can transition between ground and wall. The robot can move on a wall quickly and with agility. VertiGo has four wheels, two tiltable propellers, and two tiltable propellers. One pair of wheels is...

The robot is used to inspect the walls of ships. 🚢 The Magnet Crawler introduced by the University of Bremen is a lightweight and compact climbing robot for magnetic surfaces. The robot has two magnetic wheels driven by geared motors and an elastic tail to improve stability. In the front part of the robot, there is a miniature wireless camera. The robot is remotely teleoperated & the video signal from the camera is displayed to the operator on a portable screen. Let's wait and perhaps the robot will become more autonomous over time. Big fan of robots that make the world a safer place for humans. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Learn the differences between motion profiles! 💨 A real demonstration of engineering skills. In each robotic arm, in each legged robot, you will discover actuators that make the robot move! Let's compare two motion profiles: rectangular and trapezoid. - A rectangular motion profile is like a car with abrupt starts and stops, ideal for situations where speed is crucial. 🚙 - A trapezoid motion profile involves gradual acceleration and deceleration, offering a smoother ride, perfect for scenarios where precision and smoothness are essential, just like handling a pint of beer with care (I love your way of showing the difference! 🍻) P.S. Can you name different applications for these two motion profiles in robotics? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

In Golders Green, London, a wall honors Israeli hostages and victims of Hamas. Today, the Jewish community offered space on that wall for photos of Iranians killed in the “Lion and Sun” revolution. Two communities. One shared pain.

This robot is playing Tetris! 🧊 AGILOX dropped something exciting at LogiMAT. One of the most requested robot use cases finally automated: Manual truck loading. What I'm really impressed of is the high precision positioning of pallets directly next to the truck or container wall. It's 2026 and I love that fact that AMR companies are not just moving goods from A to B anymore, but they innovate and look for more value-adding tasks across logistics sites and manufacturing plants! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This robot can juggle! 🤹🏼‍♀️ A great engineering showcase as a part of a master's thesis at the Brno University of Technology! CableEndy is a cable-driven parallel robot project at the B&R Industrial Automation Brno office. The robot was created most probably to make all professional Kendama players feel insecure :) Guess the year btw! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

As more trucks, with covered markings and obscured license plates, arrive to expand the hay bale wall (murder wall), ostriches can be seen running towards the hay. The burnt section of the wall has been repaired and an additional fourth layer has been added. They are preparing for a slaughter.

JUST IN: Unitree Robotics just unveiled the GD01, a manned "mecha" robot that transforms between two legs and four legs in real time. This is not a concept. This is a product. Starting price: $574,000. This robot weighs 500kg, is built from high-strength alloy, and has a torso-mounted cockpit. The demo video shows it walking upright, knocking down a brick wall with its hand, then reconfiguring into a four-legged crawl. Unitree calls it the world's first mass-produced transformable mecha. But the real story here is the bigger picture. Chinese companies accounted for nearly 90% of global humanoid robot sales in 2025. Unitree alone shipped 5,500+ humanoid robots last year. In the same period, Tesla, Figure AI and Agility Robotics each shipped around 150. And Unitree is now filing for an IPO on Shanghai's Star Market, targeting 4.2 billion yuan, 85% of which goes straight into R&D. The West is building incredible humanoid robots. China is building them faster, cheaper and at a scale nobody else is close to matching. Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

As a recovering Wall Street person, I can tell you that Wall Street people like instant gratification. President Donald J. Trump’ agenda is one for the next one, two, three decades. To bring back precision manufacturing and lift up the middle class.

“This is a mosque in Uzbekistan that has 30 rooms, corresponding to the 30 parts of the Holy Quran, and on the wall of each room, a complete part is beautifully and clearly inscribed. A person sitting in each room can read the Quran even without glasses. It is considered a masterpiece of Islamic art with extraordinary beauty.”

Rope climbing robots! 🪢 One objective, multiple approaches to achieve it. Back in 2017 undergraduates from Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois utilized many mechanical strategies and tools to create a full menagerie of rope-climbing robots. Amazing creativity and uniqueness of each solution. Which robot is your favorite? Personally, I would say the one at the end dressed as a monkey! 🦍 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This robot climbs steel walls like a machine from the future. 🤖🧲 Magnetic wheels let it move vertically across ferromagnetic surfaces, making robots like this useful for ship hull cleaning, rust removal, inspection and painting. Instead of sending workers onto dangerous surfaces, the robot can bring the tools to the wall. Would you trust a robot to maintain the outside of a ship? 👀 🎥 Media: Peter Kappes ( Linkedln ) ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

A versatile robot helping out airports! 🛩️ Meet a two-wheeled robot from Fraunhofer IML! 🦿 This balancing robot with gripping arms successfully completed its initial practical tests at the cargo terminal of Munich Airport a while ago. It transported goods, supported loading and unloading, and assisted with physically demanding logistics tasks. This robot can carry loads of up to 100 kg and reach speeds of around 60 km/h. That’s far beyond what most AMRs can handle, yet it still has arms and a form of mobility that lets it work in spaces designed for people. P.S. What other applications would you use this robot for?! 🦾 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This is our Berlin wall moment. We stand at a crossroads. One road leads to bloodshed and chaos. The other—to a peaceful and democratic transition. The difference in these two roads depends on one factor alone: whether the current regime in Iran is allowed to survive.
