Robots such as Boston Dynamics’ four-legged Spot can now accurately read analog thermometers and pressure gauges while roaming around factories and warehouses. Those improvements come courtesy of Google DeepMind’s newest robotic AI model that aims to enhance robotic capabilities for ‘embodied reasoning’ when interacting with physical environments.

Just 15 runners lined up at the starting line for the first Boston Marathon in 1897. David Grilk hopes to get nearly that many robots to participate in a race he’s planning for Sunday, April 19, in Boston’s Seaport.

As data centers scale and autonomous systems become more common, Micropolis Robotics’ Alexander Rugaev unpacks an operational boundary: machines can observe, but not decide. Robots are

Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time Monday at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.
