Artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress in recent years. Large language models can answer questions, generate code, write articles, and engage in complex conversations. However, most AI systems still exist entirely in the digital world, processing information, generating outputs, and interacting solely through screens and networks. Physical AI represents the next frontier. Instead of simply manipulating digital data, Physical AI enables machines to perceive, understand, […] Read More

DroneQ Robotics and Mark Offshore have formed a strategic partnership centered on the DP1 ROV Support & Survey vessel, R/V Mintis. DroneQ gains exclusive deployment rights for its own, Intertek, and third-party projects, positioning the vessel as a fully integrated platform combining vessel operations, ROV systems, and aerial drone services. The Mintis is equipped with advanced subsea technology, including the X-SV (OCROV Class I) system […] Read More

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a core technology in robotics that allows a machine to build a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously determining its own position within that map. This capability is essential for robots operating in places where GPS is unavailable, such as indoors, deep underground, or within complex warehouse layouts. To function effectively, SLAM combines data from various sensors, including […] Read More

As robotics continues to move beyond rigid, pre-programmed machines, a new class of adaptive robots is emerging—designed to work safely alongside humans while handling tasks that demand precision, sensitivity, and real-time decision-making. Unlike traditional industrial robots or even standard collaborative robots, these systems combine advanced force control, human-like dexterity, and artificial intelligence to interact intelligently with their environment. The following overview, which was provided to […] Read More

Shelf-scanning robots are autonomous systems designed to navigate store aisles, identify missing or misplaced products, and capture real-time inventory data with high accuracy. By using cameras, sensors, and intelligent software, these robots help retailers maintain on-shelf availability, reduce manual auditing work, and improve overall store efficiency. As automation continues to grow in the retail sector, shelf-scanning solutions are becoming essential tools for modern inventory management. […] Read More

Encoders are sensors that measure physical movement—such as the rotation of a motor—and convert it into electrical signals. This allows us to determine how much a motor has rotated and use that information as digital input in a robot’s control system. They are essential for achieving precise motion control, especially in applications that require accurate positioning or speed regulation. Robots rely on encoders to ensure […] Read More

Figure AI has just introduced its latest android robot, Figure 03. The new robot comes with a lot of improvements over the previous one, such as, redesigned hands including softer fingertips with improved grasp and new cameras in hands, wireless charging through electromagnetic induction, faster actuators with improved torque density, improved audio system, improved camera and visual perception capabilities, battery safety advancements, among others. About […] Read More

Weed that grow among crops is a problem in many ways since humanity started agriculture. Weeds compete with crops for water, soil nutrients, sunlight. They can host pets, harbor diseases. They cost labor to remove them, either manually or chemically. This also increases overall costs and chemical removal may mean environmental impacts. Overall, weeds cause lower crop yield, decrease in quality, and higher costs. Considering […] Read More
