Inventory drone scanning your shelves! 📡 Corvus Robotics is creating autonomous drones for warehouse inventory management. These drones navigate without GPS to scan towering rows of pallets continuously. These drones operate alongside human workers, and forklifts, even in darkness, providing accurate and frequent inventory checks that reduce operational inefficiencies. 🔦 Equipped with 14 cameras and a post-processing system, the drone scans barcodes, records product locations, and integrates with warehouse management systems to identify and resolve discrepancies. Unlike traditional systems requiring extensive setup, Corvus drones use an “infrastructure-free” approach, needing only simple docks and a quick mapping step to be operational in a week. Their drones address a common industry pain point: lost inventory. By enabling weekly or even faster inventory cycles, they eliminate the need for infrequent, error-prone manual checks that often disrupt operations. Worth mentioning that they are part of the '18 Y Combinator batch! 🪙 Congrats Jackie Wu, Mohammed Kabir, Andrew Burer, and team! ~~~ ♻️ to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

500 humanoid robots replacing humans in high-voltage operations What does that look like? Steel against steel,instead of flesh and blood. This marks a turning point for China’s State Grid, shifting from human-based maintenance to autonomous operations. This year, State Grid announced plans to procure 8,500 embodied AI robots, with a total budget of RMB 6.8 billion (~$1 billion). These robots will be deployed across four major scenarios: power inspection, live-line operations, emergency response, and warehouse logistics,covering more than 600 specific task scenarios. Among them, humanoid robots for live-line operations are the most expensive and strategically critical: 500 units with a budget of RMB 2.5 billion (~$370 million). They will be deployed in distribution network live-line work and ultra-high-voltage (UHV) projects, replacing humans in high-risk tasks. Workers will transition into supervisory roles, ready to take over remotely when needed. As early as last year, State Grid had already validated the feasibility of humanoid robots for substation inspection. Tienkung can autonomously perform inspection tasks at a State Grid substation in Beijing. Of course, suppliers are not limited to X-Humanoid,players like Unitree, AGIBOT, DeepRobotics, UBTECH, and Fourier are all involved. These 500 humanoid robots will also collaborate with 5,000 inspection quadruped robots and 3,000 dual-arm wheeled robots for indoor substation maintenance,together forming an intelligent, automated, and collaborative network for autonomous grid operations. What does this change? According to State Grid, each embodied AI unit can save RMB 500,000 to 800,000 (~$70,000–$110,000) in annual labor costs, with a payback period of around 2–3 years. Inspection efficiency increases by 5x, fault response time is reduced by 60%, and power supply reliability improves by 0.5 percentage points. More importantly, over 90% of human exposure to high-risk operations can be eliminated, reducing safety incidents by 80%. At another level, for humanoid robot companies, the center of R&D and iteration is shifting to the customer site. Real-world physical interaction becomes the fastest feedback loop,accelerating innovation and evolution. And 8,500 units are just the beginning of scaled deployment. Based on current plans, embodied AI robots will cover 30% of key areas in State Grid by 2026, 80% of high-risk operation scenarios by 2027, and enable fully autonomous operations by 2030. The demand roadmap is clear: define use cases ->deploy at scale->improve models and robots->expand further. 8,500… 50,000… 100,000… But remember,power grids are just one part of China’s vast infrastructure system. The experience of autonomous robotic operations here can be replicated across other sectors, such as broader energy systems. That, in itself, is another story. P.S.The video shows Tienkung 1.0 autonomously performing substation inspection tasks (2025).

One of the why questions we’re always asking is how can we help operations employees access inventory more efficiently? We’re taking a big leap forward by introducing DeepFleet, an exciting new AI model that makes our one million+ robot fleet work smarter. Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for our fulfillment centers. Just like smart traffic systems reduce congestion in cities, DeepFleet coordinates our robots’ movements to find optimal paths and reduce bottlenecks. By leveraging our deep expertise in robotics and combining it with AWS tools like SageMaker, we’ve built an AI model that learns from our extensive data on inventory movement to make real-time decisions that improve robot travel time by 10% (which at our scale is pretty significant). What makes this particularly exciting is how AI and robotics create value across the board. For customers, it means faster delivery times and lower costs. For employees, it opens up new opportunities – our robots handle physically demanding tasks and heavy lifting, making our fulfillment centers safer, while our people take on more technical roles. This combination of robotics and generative AI is just getting started, and am looking forward to what we’ll invent next.

Video: World’s first humanoid robot labor that swaps its own batteries to work endlessly | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Walker S2 uses dual-battery balancing and standardized modules to boost efficiency and ensure uninterrupted, optimized performance. In a leap for robotics, China’s UBTech has unveiled the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of fully autonomous battery swapping. Designed for non-stop industrial operations, the Walker S2 can replace its own power pack in just three minutes—no human intervention required. Equipped with advanced anthropomorphic bipedal locomotion and a hot-swappable battery system, Walker S2 is built to operate 24/7 across dynamic industrial environments. According to UBTech, the next-generation humanoid robot marks a major milestone in automation, bringing continuous, hands-free performance to the factory floor. In May 2025, UBTech Robotics and Huawei Technologies inked a significant partnership to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots across China’s factories and households. Uninterrupted robot operations A video posted by the robotics firm opens with the sleek UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot working in an industrial setting. The highlight, however, is its autonomous battery swap. Walker S2 approaches the charging station, carefully detaches its depleted power pack, and seamlessly installs a fresh one—all within about three minutes—without any human assistance, according to CGTN. The camera captures close-ups of the robot’s articulated limbs and the intelligent battery-handling mechanism, conveying precision and reliability. As the swap completes, Walker S2 resumes its duties, reinforcing the promise of uninterrupted, 24/7 operations in dynamic factory environments. UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robot is equipped with advanced dual-battery power balancing technology and uses standardized battery modules to optimize performance, reports CNEVPOST. This dual-battery system allows the robot to automatically switch to a backup battery in case of a main battery failure, ensuring that critical tasks are carried out without interruption. In addition to battery swapping, the robot can intelligently choose between charging and swapping based on task urgency, allowing it to manage energy dynamically and adapt to real-time operational demands. UBTech highlights these features as a step forward in deploying humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications, combining flexibility, reliability, and autonomy in one intelligent platform. Factory intelligence upgrade Earlier in the year, UBTech unveiled a major advancement in humanoid robot collaboration, claiming the world’s first deployment of multiple humanoids working together across varied industrial tasks. Demonstrated at Zeekr’s 5G-enabled smart factory, the breakthrough centers on UBTech’s “BrainNet” framework, which orchestrates cooperative behavior through a cloud-device intelligence system. BrainNet integrates a “super brain” for high-level decision-making with an “intelligent sub-brain” for distributed multi-robot control. The super brain, powered by a proprietary large-scale multimodal reasoning model, handles complex production-line scheduling and decision-making. Meanwhile, the sub-brain coordinates real-time tasks using cross-field perception and Transformer-based control for dynamic adaptability. Together, they enable the Walker S1 humanoid robots to move beyond isolated operations and perform coordinated tasks with high precision and speed. The system is built on DeepSeek-R1 reasoning technology and trained on real-world data from automotive factory settings. Leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the model adapts to specific job functions and improves scalability across workstations. At Zeekr’s facility, dozens of Walker S1s now collaborate on tasks like assembly, inspection, and part handling. Using semantic VSLAM and shared mapping, they coordinate seamlessly via vision-based navigation and agile manipulation. UBTech says this marks a transition to “Practical Training 2.0,” where humanoid robots operate as a swarm, maximizing efficiency and setting the stage for next-generation intelligent manufacturing.

Honourable Members, The most important intervention to tackle the problem of illegal immigration is to secure our borders. The newly-established Border Management Authority hasdeployed 600 border guards at the vulnerable segments of our land border to prevent illegal migrants that are undocumented and inadmissible from entering the country. The Border Management Authority has demonstrated the effectiveness of modern technology like drones and body cameras in creating a more secure, digital border environment. Phase one of the Electronic Travel Authorisation system is currently being rolled out for G20 delegates. Over 200 applications have already been seamlessly processed by this new system, which uses machine learning to verify the authenticity of documents and facial recognition to secure the immigration process. Following the stabilisation phase around the G20, Electronic Travel Authorisation will be opened for tourist visas and to other visa categories. This will ultimately lead to the automation of entry-and-exit processes at our borders, including at land borders. This will eliminate the space for the abuse of paper-based and manual processes through biometric verification and digital transformation. Another area of work is to detect, apprehend and deport illegal migrants in the country. This is mainly done through intelligence-driven joint operations planned and executed by the Department of Home Affairs Inland Inspectorate and other structures. These structures are coordinated and account to the Inter-Ministerial Consultative Committee on Border Management and the NATJOINTS. In the past financial year, over 51,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Engagements with countries whose nationals are frequent transgressors are ongoing through discussions with embassies, and these matters are also included as an Agenda item on Bi-National Commissions. This is to ensure that the implication of illegal migration is understood. Illegal immigration does place a strain on our social services and undermines our national security. We should not allow vigilante acts targeting foreign nationals as these do not solve the problem and theyundermine the rule of law. Instead, we need to address this challenge by strengthening the enforcement of our laws and the resourcing of our border management capabilities. #RamaphosaQandA

China’s construction tech is on another level! If you still picture construction sites with tones of workers swinging hammers, you’re officially stuck in the 90s. In China they’re out here building skyscrapers like it’s a speedrun challenge, with a tech stack that would make Silicon Valley jealous. AI-Powered Smart Sites Drones, IoT sensors, and AI are managing construction sites better than some human managers. Real-time safety alerts, automated progress tracking, and even predictive maintenance are standard tools, not fancy bonuses. Green Building Technologies Solar panels built into facades. Rainwater harvesting embedded into skyscrapers. Buildings that regulate their own temperature to save energy, not future dreams, but today’s standards. Robotics in Construction From brick-laying robots to rebar-tying machines, construction crews in China now have mechanical teammates with no lunch breaks, no grumbling. Welcome to Construction 2.0 (China Edition) Humans supervising, robots building! Gone are the days when a construction site meant a hundred+ guys with shovels. In China’s construction sites today, the machines are the real MVPs, humans mostly sip coffee and supervise. Bricklaying Human hands? Please. Robotic arms now lay bricks faster, straighter, and neater than your uncle’s weekend DIY projects. Some can lay 1,000+ bricks an hour and never ask for overtime. Excavation Remember digging trenches with shovels? That’s adorable. Now AI-guided autonomous excavators carve the earth with GPS-level precision while operators chill in air-conditioned control rooms. Concrete Pouring Giant robotic nozzles squeezing out entire building frames like they’re icing a wedding cake. Layers and layers, no sweat, no mess, no “oops, we need to redo that wall.” Welding You think shaky human hands are still melting steel together? Nah. Robot welders buzz and spark with perfect, tireless accuracy, even in places that are too risky for humans to reach. Inspection Sending humans to climb scaffolding 50 stories up? Very 2002. Now drones buzz around construction sites like paparazzi, scanning every beam, bolt, and brick, spotting defects before a human eye would even blink. Material Transport Why carry things manually when you can have self-driving forklifts and delivery bots moving steel, concrete, and pipes faster than an Amazon Prime truck? Site Monitoring Forget some guy in a neon vest wandering around with a clipboard. Today it’s AI-driven command centers tracking thousands of data points: worker safety, machinery health, material delivery schedules all from one giant screen. Project Planning Old: Paper blueprints and arguing architects. New: AI and BIM (Building Information Modeling) simulate the entire building in virtual reality before the first brick is even printed. This video shows how construction sites in China are now using robots to handle tasks like rebar placement, concrete pouring, and polishing, which has led to a 50% reduction in the workforce at some projects. The robots are proving to be more efficient, with one project's furnace robot achieving a 20% efficiency increase in just 5 days, saving 5% on labor costs. The construction company is developing even more advanced robots for future use as they work to improve smart construction technology for widespread real-time application. At China’s next-gen construction sites, humans don’t sweat, they strategize. Machines are not seen as luxury, they are seen as a necessity. Why does it matter? China is using 5G, AI, IoT, and robotics to build entire smart cities. And when the world comes looking for fast, sustainable, and scalable construction models… guess who’s already handing out the blueprints? Next time you hear: ‘Made in China,’ think bigger, it is: ‘Engineered for the future in China.’

🚨 BREAKING: Big news in the computer vision world! 🎥 Luxonis | Robotic Vision just dropped its new OAK 4 line, and it’s a big upgrade for edge computer vision. Instead of being “just a stereo camera,” OAK 4 is a fully standalone vision computer with 52 TOPS of on-device AI. Models run locally, depth is computed locally, and no external PC or cloud pipeline is required. This is why robotics teams love it: lower latency, lower cost, fewer failure points in the field. The hardware is built for the real-world. IP67, shock-resistant, wide-FOV RGB + stereo pair, IR projection, IMU, audio, and a patent-pending calibration system that keeps depth accurate even when conditions change. But the real move is the platform. With Luxonis Hub, you can deploy models, grab telemetry, push OTA updates, or collect data when performance drifts, all from a unified interface. It turns a single device into an end-to-end edge CV system. Most customers today in robotics are groups who just want something that works: AMRs, bin-picking systems, trailer-loading robots, and ag-tech. 🤖 And they all say the same thing, the appeal isn’t raw TOPS, it’s the all-in-one simplicity that lets them scale without building custom infrastructure. Feels like the direction edge vision has been waiting for: rugged hardware + high-throughput on-device compute + a real management layer. A next step toward “plug-and-deploy” perception for robots. 🔗 Find out more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

China is turning fire trucks into drone launch systems. And that is a much bigger shift than it sounds. What interests me here is not just the hardware. It is the new logic of emergency response. Instead of relying only on ladders and human entry, these systems pair fire trucks with drones that can reach high-rise fire zones quickly, fly into smoke, and send live intelligence back to crews. That is what is new. The truck is no longer just transport. It becomes a mobile aerial response base. And that matters because in dense high-rise environments, access is often the real bottleneck. To me, this is where the story gets interesting. This is not just about fighting fires better. It is about changing who gets exposed to danger first. → drones go where ladders cannot → commanders get visibility earlier → crews make faster decisions → fewer firefighters enter blind conditions That is a serious innovation. And it opens up important use cases: → faster high-rise reconnaissance → targeted suppression from outside upper floors → better coordination in smoke-heavy environments → safer response where humans cannot reach quickly That is why I would not dismiss this as just another drone demo. It is a glimpse of what emergency response looks like when robotics, data, and frontline operations finally converge. What do you think matters more here: faster firefighting, or the fact that robots may now take the first risk instead of humans? #AI #Robotics #Drones #Firefighting #Innovation #EmergencyResponse #SmartCities #FutureOfWork #Technology

Ahmedabad Crime Branch is making use of technical measures to avoid any stampede kind of situation. Anti stampede visual analytics,using reference area and crowd movement, head count algorithm. Anti-stampede algorithms on CCTV cameras are a crucial advancement in crowd management, leveraging AI and image processing to prevent dangerous situations in densely populated areas. Here's a breakdown of their usage: How they work: Real-time monitoring: AI-powered CCTV cameras continuously analyze video streams in real-time. Crowd density estimation: Algorithms calculate the number of people in a given area. This can involve: Pixel-based analysis: Converting images to black and white and counting "black pixels" (representing people). Object detection: Using machine learning models (like Mask R-CNN) to identify and count individuals, often by detecting heads or torsos. Thresholding: Pre-defined "threshold values" for crowd density are established. When the detected density crosses these thresholds, it triggers an alert. Anomaly detection: Beyond just density, these algorithms can identify unusual crowd behaviors such as: * Sudden surges in movement. * Unusual clustering patterns. * Fallen individuals. * Aggressive movements. Alerting authorities: Upon detecting a potential stampede risk, the system sends immediate alerts to security personnel or control rooms via LCD displays, GSM messages, or other communication channels. Predictive analytics: Some advanced systems use time-series prediction models to forecast crowd behavior and dynamics based on historical and real-time data, helping anticipate potential bottlenecks or overcrowding. Reinforcement learning: Algorithms can learn from past incidents to suggest optimal crowd flow routes and alternative evacuation paths during emergencies. Benefits: Proactive prevention: The primary benefit is the ability to detect and warn of potential stampedes before they occur, allowing authorities to take preventative measures. Real-time insights: Provides immediate and accurate data on crowd density and movement, far surpassing manual observation. Enhanced safety: Significantly improves safety in public spaces by reducing human error and enabling swift responses to risks. Optimized resource allocation: Helps in better deployment of security personnel and resources to areas with high crowd density. Improved efficiency: Automates a labor-intensive task, freeing up human operators for more complex decision-making. Data for future planning: The collected data can be analyzed to improve crowd management strategies for future events. Challenges: Accuracy limitations: While advanced, AI algorithms can still face challenges with: Occlusion: People blocking each other, making accurate counting difficult. Varying conditions: Changes in lighting, weather, and camera angles can affect accuracy. Bias in training data: Can lead to false positives or inaccurate detections. Computational complexity and cost: Developing and deploying such systems can be expensive due to the need for high-resolution cameras, powerful processing units, and sophisticated algorithms. Data privacy and ethical concerns: The extensive use of CCTV and AI raises concerns about individual privacy and potential misuse of data. Integration with existing infrastructure: Integrating new AI-powered systems with older CCTV networks can be complex. Human intervention still crucial: While AI can alert, human responders are still essential for effective intervention and crowd dispersal. As seen in the Kumbh Mela example, even with AI alerts, a lack of ground personnel can limit effectiveness. Defining thresholds: Determining appropriate crowd density thresholds for different environments and cultural contexts can be challenging. Real-world applications: Large public gatherings: Religious festivals (like the Kumbh Mela in India, which has used AI for crowd management), concerts, sports events, and political rallies. Transportation hubs: Railway stations, airports, and bus terminals to manage passenger flow. Shopping malls and commercial centers: To monitor crowd density during peak hours and special events. Stadiums and arenas: For managing ingress, egress, and crowd movement during events. Tourist attractions: To prevent overcrowding at popular sites. Overall, anti-stampede algorithms on CCTV cameras represent a significant leap forward in ensuring public safety, offering a powerful tool for proactive crowd management. However, their successful implementation requires careful consideration of technological limitations, ethical implications, and the continued need for effective human intervention.
