The goal is to get the robots working with actual humans in areas such as manufacturing, facility operations and health care.

The robotics business is at a turning point, finally integrating artificial intelligence's full potential into moving machinery.

Tiny robots small enough to slip through blood vessels are moving from speculative fiction into the medical lab, promising treatments that work from the inside out. Instead of relying on scalpels and systemic drugs,

The commercial boom in artificial intelligence has sparked interest in humanoid robots. Venture capitalist Modar Alaoui, founder of the Humanoids Summit, gathered over 2,000 people, including top engineers from Disney and Google,

In some sense, Mr. Brooks has only himself to blame. The current humanoid craze is “kind of his fault,” said Anthony Jules, Mr. Brooks’s co-founder and C.E.O. at Robust.AI, which is building automated carts to work alongside humans in distribution centers.

Robot companies are racing toward a breakout year, but they'll have to confront some fundamental problems before making bigger promises.

General-purpose robots remain rare not for a lack of hardware but because we still can’t give machines the physical intuition humans learn through experience

The tiny, microscopic robot packs an onboard computer, solar cells, and propulsion system, and is capable of sensing its environment.

Scottish whisky makers may soon enlist robot dogs to patrol their warehouses, sniffing out ethanol vapor as casks age. The robots would automate the inspection process, enabling more efficient detection of these costly leaks.
