Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

Mobileye made its name, and money, by supplying automakers with millions of computer vision chips designed to support automotive safety features and later advanced driver assistance systems. The Intel subsidiary and publicly traded company later expanded to tackle autonomous driving through its chips and software.

The post Autonomous Underwater Robot Begins Its 5+ Year Journey To Circumnavigate The Globe first on TwistedSifter. From 1519 to 1522, explorer Fernand Magellan led a journey that had him become the first person to ever circumnavigate the Earth.

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the robots swim by manipulating electric fields rather than using moving parts.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots: microscopic swimming machines that can independently sense and respond to their surroundings,

CES 2026 --As robots move from novelty to necessity across factories, warehouses, hospitals, and public spaces, CES 2026 is making one thing clear: visual perception will define the future of robotics.

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and the University of Michigan have created the world's smallest autonomous and programmable robots. Each measuring about 200 micrometers wide – roughly twice the width of a human hair – these machines can perceive their surroundings,

While it's not ready to join the workforce yet, Atlas, an AI-powered humanoid, is learning how to do human tasks.

Albemarle jumps as Jefferies reiterated its Buy rating and said widespread adoption of robotics offers "broad ramifications for chemical demand, particularly for lithium."

In an unprecedented move, NVIDIA has unveiled a cutting-edge lineup of next-generation robots, promising to transform industries across the globe.
