This is the Scorpion Hexapod, a six-legged robotic scorpion created at Ghent University UGent Campus Kortrijk in Belgium. It was built by students Stephan Flamand Robbe Terryn and Pieterjan Deconinck as part of an Embedded Prototyping / Mechatronics Design project. What it is • A biomimetic robot inspired by the body and movement of a real scorpion • A hexapod, meaning it walks on six legs • A university prototype, not a commercial robot • Built to test animal-inspired movement, sensors and interactive behavior • Designed more for robotics research and education than real-world work Main hardware • 6 walking legs for crawling movement • 2 front claws for the scorpion look • Moving tail with a stinger-style mechanism • Sensors in the body, legs and claws • Arduino-based electronics for control • Front camera and proximity sensing • Battery pack for mobile operation • 3D-printed modules for legs and tail • Laser-cut ABS body parts • Thermoformed shell for the white outer body What it can do • Walk across the floor using its six legs • Move its tail like a real scorpion • React when a person gets close • Detect when someone covers its front sensors • Strike with its tail in the demo • Leave a red mark using a marker pen attached to the stinger • Operate through remote control • Perform some simple autonomous reactions Why it was created • To explore bio-inspired robotics • To show how digital fabrication can produce complex moving robots • To combine 3D printing, laser cutting, Arduino electronics and sensors • To teach students how to design a complete mechatronic system • To improve on an older robotic ant project that had weak autonomy, short battery life and motor problems • To create an interactive robot that reacts to humans in a visible way Important note • It was not built for combat • It was not made for industrial deployment • It is not a military robot • It is an educational robotics prototype made to demonstrate movement, sensing and interaction

The AI ​​companion of the replicant K in Blade Runner 2049 has been embodied in a physical form. A Shenzhen-based embodied intelligence company, Aiyo Technology, is developing a humanoid robot called Eva.i, an embodied AI companion. It's like bringing the virtual AI girlfriend from a science fiction movie into reality. Users can wake her up simply by touching her. She combines robotic hardware with a virtual avatar app, incorporating AI multi-modal interaction (visual, audio, and tactile) and emotional recognition. The body features an aluminum alloy frame and a three-layer composite skin (maintaining a constant temperature of approximately 37°C, FPC electronic skin tactile feedback, and a precision outer shell), supporting natural postures, micro-expressions, and synchronized breathing, among other human-like characteristics. Simultaneously, the AI ​​supports offline processing, personalized learning, and tone/expression analysis; the app includes features such as an intimacy system and emotion tracking, which can be adjusted to constantly meet user needs and provide timely feedback. Privacy measures include local encryption and a detachable camera. In short, the team is creating another type of human-machine relationship. They call it the fourth relationship: a relaxed, burden-free emotional relationship without the fear of rejection. The team states that it promotes emotional independence and is not intended to replace real human relationships. The project is currently preparing for crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with plans for a limited edition of 200 units.

China unveils humanoid robot with lifelike skin and blinking eyes built for daily life | Prabhat Ranjan Mishra, Interesting Engineering Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) help process and interpret complex data from human interactions. A Shanghai-based company has developed humanoid robots that appear as real as humans. The advanced bionic humanoid robot is integrated with self-supervised AI algorithms. Named Elf V1, the robot can perceive the world, communicate, learn, and interact intelligently with its surroundings. Developed by AheadForm Technology, the robot offers up to 30 degrees of freedom, powered by a precise control system and an advanced AI learning algorithm. Robot offers expressive facial features The robot offers expressive facial features, moving eyes, and synchronized speech. It can also convey emotions and understand human non-verbal cues, making interactions more natural and engaging. The robot has highly interactive capabilities and lifelike appearances. AheadForm expects that its robots could soon seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing assistance, companionship, and support across various industries. “We believe that by developing realistic and expressive robot heads, we can bridge the gap between humans and machines, fostering a new era of interactive and intelligent robotics,” said the company in a statement. Reports revealed that to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect and be able to interact with us, they are given lifelike skin and capabilities to read our emotions and respond appropriately using dynamic expression simulation and emotion generation tech. Bionic skin and high-precision control system The Elf V1 series of humanoids features 30 facial muscles animated by brushless micro-motors and managed by a high-precision control system. Paired with an ability to detect their users’ emotions with low latency and bionic skin, their facial expressions are nearly identical to those of humans, reported CGTN. The company claims it’s pioneering the development of realistic humanoid robots designed to revolutionize human-robot interaction. It’s enhancing sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans. By combining cutting-edge AI and advanced robotics, AheadForm aims to bring life to machines and transform how humans engage with technology. AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience. Previously, the company unveiled the Lan Series that features realistic humanoid robots with soft skin and 10 degrees of freedom, offering a lifelike appearance and intuitive movements. This series is designed for cost-efficiency, for applications prioritizing mobility and manipulation.
