A new R&D initiative hopes to improve the dexterity of machines and enhance human-robot interaction.

BOSTON, MA—Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute (TRI) are joining forces to accelerate the development of general-purpose humanoid robots.

BMW engineers recently conducted a test with humanoid robots at its assembly plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Volvo Cars has been producing gas-powered vehicles in Ridgeville, SC, since 2018. Now, the factory is assembling two new electric SUVs: the Volvo EX90 and the Polestar 3.

The enhanced expressiveness and agility of the machine may pave the way for improving human-robot interaction on assembly lines, enabling humanoids to safely operate alongside operators.

AMHERST, MA—New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst shows that programming robots to create their own teams and voluntarily wait for their teammates results in faster task completion, with the potential to improve manufacturing, agriculture and warehouse automation.

Next-generation machines that leverage artificial intelligence technology offer manufacturers a way to address labor shortages.

WALTHAM, MA—Boston Dynamics has introduced a new, fully electric version of its Atlas humanoid robot.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, here are the top five trends in robotics for 2024.

Humanoid robots were once the stuff of science fiction. Now, robots with two arms and two legs may soon be deployed in assembly plants and warehouses.
