As governments and private companies accelerate plans for commercial space stations, orbital manufacturing and eventually lunar infrastructure, one question is becoming increasingly important: who – or what – will do the work in space?  Brooklyn-based startup Icarus Robotics believes much of that work will be carried out by intelligent robotic workers. Founded in 2024, the […]

However, once these systems are deployed, they are prone to face unique challenges. Lighting conditions, variations in human behavior, the variety of surfaces encountered, and background noise are examples of factors that can contribute to these newfound friction points in untested scenarios.  The Limits of Testing Predictable Labs vs. Real World Environments Laboratories are designed […]

The British Antarctic Survey says autonomous vehicles are ‘transforming polar science’ A robot is cruising beneath Antarctic sea ice. Another is bolted to the face of a collapsing Greenland glacier. A third is silently counting penguins on a remote, windswept beach. None of them has a human operator nearby. Across the Arctic and Antarctic, autonomous […]

Sapphire Technology has unveiled the EDGE+ Apex SOM/Carrier Robotics Platform, a production-ready hardware platform powered by AMD Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors and designed to accelerate the development and deployment of physical AI in autonomous robotics. The platform has been showcased at AMD Advancing AI 2026 in San Francisco. Built for rugged, always-on robotics […]

Passengers travelling from London Gatwick Airport this summer can experience the future of hassle-free airport parking with the launch of a unique robotic parking service – the first of its kind at a UK airport. Putting an end to parking stress, the new system – delivered in partnership with Stanley Robotics – allows passengers to […]
