The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, that would look like holding a ball in your palm while simultaneously grasping a piece of fruit on the back of your hand.

Explore how robotics technology trends and automation robotics are transforming manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics with AI, 5G, and autonomous systems reshaping industries.

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous for human hands.

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Roborock and Dreame showed off two approaches to getting over one of the robot vacuum’s biggest hurdles.

Kathedra aims to be the furniture industry’s leading robotics solutions partner, thanks to a tool that automates upholstery manufacturing.

Students from the University of Stuttgart placed fourth at the 2026 Autonomous Snowplow Competition in Minneapolis, United States, with their self-developed robot, Lynx. The result marks the highest placement for a German team in the international event’s history.

Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use echolocation to hunt for food. By creating a robot that can echolocate, the team mimicked a bat’s flight path and explained how bats can quickly determine whether or not their prey is on a leaf.
