robotics

Humanoid robots combine AI, batteries, motors, hands, perception, and manufacturing economics. This guide explains what is real, what is hard, and where they may work first.

How machine learning powers ocean cleanup robots to detect, route toward, and remove plastic from rivers and open water, and where the technology still falls short.

Robots now learn walking, balancing, and some manipulation by trial and error, mostly in simulation. Here is how the training works, what has reached real hardware, and what still breaks.

South Korea runs 1,220 industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing employees — the highest robot density on earth. See the IFR ranking, how the metric works, and why China's figure fell from 470 to 166.

Robots no longer just follow scripts. Modern robots use AI to perceive, plan, and adapt. Here's how they work, where they're being used, and where the technology is heading.
