The possibilities of what humans and physical AI can achieve together are endless. To understand the business value of collaborative robotics, it is important to know what people are good at, what robots are good at, and how they can work together to increase productivity. DHL and Robust.AI have partnered to define the future human-robot collaborative work.
Teleoperated robot characters can perform expressive human interactions, relying upon the operators’ experience and their social intuition. In this work, our proposal is to create interactive robots that are autonomous by training a model based on operator data. Our model is trained using a dataset of human robot interactions. An expert operator is asked by the dataset to change the mood and interactions of the robot while recording the operator commands and the pose of both the human and the robot.
Introducing THEMIS V2, our all-new full-size humanoid robot. THEMIS V2 is 1.6m tall with 40 degrees of freedom. It has an enhanced 6 DoF arm and advanced 7 DoF end effectors. These upgrades provide exceptional capabilities in perception, manipulation, and navigation. They push humanoid robots to new levels.

At WorldMinds2025 in the Kaufleuten Theater, Zurich, on March 13, our team demonstrated two autonomous vision-based race drones for the first time. The preparation for this event was a long and difficult journey, especially given the poor lighting conditions in the theater and the safety restrictions of a theater with over 500 people. The background screen displays in real-time, the observations of each drone’s AI algorithm. No map, no IMU, no SLAM!
Unitree releases Dex5 Dexterous hand. Single hand with 20 degrees (16 active+4 passiv). Direct force control allows for smooth backdrivability. Equipped with 94 highly-sensitive touch points (optional).

FlashBot Arm, developed by Pudu XLab, enhances the capabilities our flagship FlashBot, by combining advanced humanoid manipulating and intelligent delivery abilities, powered by cutting edge embodied artificial intelligence. This powerful combination allows for the robot to autonomously complete a variety of tasks in diverse settings including hotels, offices, restaurants, retail spaces and healthcare facilities.

Professor Suzumori, best wishes!
Traditional control systems, no matter the vehicle, struggle when unexpected challenges, such as damage, unforeseeable environments, or new mission, push them beyond their design limitations. Our Learning Introspective Control program (LINC) aims to improve the safety of mechanical system, such as ships, ground vehicles, and robots, by using machine learning methods which require minimal computing power.

Perseverance Rover captured images of multiple dust clouds while exploring the rim Jezero Crater. The largest dust devil measured approximately 210 feet (65 meters) in width. Priya Patel, an atmospheric scientist, explains in this Mars Report what dust devils tell us about the weather conditions on Mars.
