The inventors of this robot believe their discovery can be used for good — particularly in clinical and mechanical settings — by reaching hard-to-reach spaces.

Robot for railway inspections! 🚂 This robot from Shenhao Robotics International is equipped with a self-moving motion platform and intelligent sensor modules to detect any track defects and anomalies. By using it, track inspectors can complete nighttime route inspection tasks and solve problems related to heavy tasks. There are fewer and fewer people who can perform inspection tasks, so this robot makes sure that these routine tasks are performed timely and with high quality! It can be great when it comes to track geometry measurement or fastener defects detection. The robot moves at a speed of 5~15km/h and can be operated remotely or be fully autonomous. P.S. What is your opinion? Can it become a standard?

Researchers at MIT created a tiny origami-inspired robot that starts as a flat sheet and transforms itself into a working machine when activated by heat. Made from a heat-responsive polymer combined with rigid panels and small embedded magnets, it can self-fold into shape and then move across surfaces, swim, climb slight slopes, and handle uneven terrain, all without traditional onboard motors.

A humanoid robot was shown packing clothes using an automatic machine by the company Robros. It picks up folded garments and places them into the machine for sealing and packaging. The robot is remotely controlled by a human, showing how robots can assist in factory packing tasks.

Another crazy Chinese design. SageMan, a wheeled four-armed humanoid robot from Shanghai Sage Intelligence. With wheeled mobility, a 360-degree workspace, and four coordinated arms, it can perform millimeter-level precision tasks, from factory handling and assembly to laboratory tasks. It's a true efficiency monster.

MolmoAct2 kinda just works out of the box in an unseen environment and with unseen objects. I find it really crazy that I can just download a model from the internet and plug it into my robot and it can do some tasks at a limited capacity right away. this video is at 2x speed

Bernt Bornich says there's a long queue of early adopters for 1X’s NEO humanoid for home use. He expects full autonomy by “probably closer to 2027.” Until then, users can request remote teleoperators to complete tasks the robot can’t yet handle autonomously.

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.

Hamster-powered robot? 🐹 A robot that looks like a hamster ball and can fly over obstacles on its own. Revolute Robotics created a machine called the Hybrid Mobility Robot. I had a chance to meet their team in Boston earlier this year. Two special rings allow this robot to roll in any direction and whirl like a helicopter. A lightweight exoskeleton absorbs shock during landing and prevents vibrations from damaging electronics. Typically, the HMR rolls on the ground, but can also fly to overcome obstacles or climb steep inclines. This robot can go places that humans might not be able to reach, including confined spaces, performing security tasks, and even performing search and rescue missions.
