Common Beetles equipped with microchip packs could one day help search and rescue teams locate survivors in hours rather than days following disasters like building and mine collapses. The University of Queensland’s Dr. Thangvo-Doan and research assistant Lachlan Fitzgerald demonstrated that they could remotely guide darkling beetles, Zophobas morio, fitted with the packs using video game controllers.

Thank you, Thang!
Our latest work on six-doF teleoperation using hands for omnidirectional aerial robotics shows an intuitive teleoperation method for advanced aerial robots. This work was presented at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ Conference on Intelligent Robots & Systems (IROS 2025).

Thanks, Moju!
We’re pretty sure we’ve already seen this LimX humanoid, but the first reveal is right ahead!
Thanks, Jinyan!
Soft robotic arms mimic the passive compliance that biological arms have when they bend and extend. We show here how soft robotic arms can remain compliant by relying on patterning patterns instead of inherent material characteristics. We demonstrate a flexible robotic arm that is made of a pair mechanical metamaterials which act as compliant joints with constant-velocity.

Selling a platform can be difficult, but I’m hoping K-Scale will succeed with their humanoid open source.

MIT CSAIL Researchers combined GenAI with a physics simulator engine to refine robot design. The result was a machine which out-jumped a human-designed robot.

ARMstrong Dex, a dual-arm hydraulic robotic arm designed for disaster response applications at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. It is designed with dimensions similar to those of an adult human. It combines human-equivalent dexterity and reach with force outputs that exceed human physical abilities, enabling it perform extreme heavy-duty jobs in hazardous environments.

Here is a demonstration on how Torobo Hand can rotate an object in the hand. Torobo Hand is modeled and trained in Isaac Sim using large-scale parallel learning. The trained policy is able to be executed in a different simulator, MuJoCo, and on the actual Torobo Hand without any additional training.

The 2025 east coast autonomous vehicle competition was sponsored by Raytheon (an RTX company) and held at XElevate, in Northern Virginia. Five student engineering teams from five universities took part in a two semester project to design, develop and integrate two autonomous vehicles capable of identifying, communicating and delivering a medical kit accurately and on time.
