Every new generation of phone display, television screen and solar panel is the result of precision optics experiments, which use lasers and other light sources to measure the optical properties of candidate materials.

MIT researchers built a robotic optics lab that assembled a working laser in 30 minutes, pointing toward more autonomous scientific research.

OpenAI has rapidly scaled its robotics lab over the past year and plans to open up a second lab, insiders say.

Today at the IMTS tradeshow, Teradyne Robotics company Universal Robots (UR) – the original, world-leading manufacturer of collaborative industrial robots – introduced Gen 7, its seventh-generation robotics platform.

Starting materials go in, and a product comes out. In reality, the same substrates can follow many different pathways depending on their concentrations, temperature, catalysts and other conditions.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed's Future Lab offered a compelling look into robotics' future, showcasing how diverse robots could collaborate. A multi-robot team pushing a ball highlighted their increasing capabilities. OLO Robotics introduced a cloud ...

Humanoid robots are showing meaningful progress beyond controlled demonstrations, with advances in autonomy, dexterity, and the ability to perform repetitive real-world tasks. But widespread commercial deployment still remains a work in progress.

Universal Robots has released three new robot arms, a rebuilt core controller, a new AI-ready tool flange, and more.

The robotics industry often uses the school model and treats robot education like a university degree. In the school model, the company pays people to create lessons for the robot. Companies raise large sums and train machines in controlled settings, hoping they graduate to useful work.

More than 150 industry leaders attended the opening, including representatives from GXO, DSV and LPP Logistics, alongside Josef Hinkel, Deputy Mayor of Düsseldorf. Geekplus expects the Lab to welcome more than 1,

Icarus Robotics is flying JOY, the free-flying robot it is sending to the International Space Station, on four parabolic flights from September 9 to 11. This will be the first time the hardware
