Flashy humanoid robots that have awed attendees at Web Summit in Lisbon this week are still far from revolutionizing physical labor in factories and warehouses, Amazon's chief roboticist told AFP.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled a humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot that runs on the same AI used by Tesla's fleet of autonomous vehicles. A functioning version of the robot didn't make an appearance during Musk's reveal,

Now, researchers at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) have trained a Unitree G1 robot to pull a 1,400-kilogram car along a flat surface. The robot itself weighs just 35 kilograms and stands at 132 centimeters, so the feat does look rather remarkable. You can watch it in the clip below:

Now that artificial intelligence has mastered almost everything we do online, it needs help learning how we physically move around in the real world.

Technologically, we’re in a very interesting place at the moment. We’re on the precipice of many interesting developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, though I’m not really convinced anyone has a clear path or idea about how to actually best use this technology.

The renowned roboticist Rodney Brooks has revealed how he believes humanoid robots will develop in the coming years, and his suggestions may surprise you. Brooks, an AI pioneer and entrepreneur known for his groundbreaking behavior-based robotics, as well ...

No matter how you feel about humanoid robots, they currently all have a technical limitation due to their form factor. Unless the robot is tethered to a power supply, it needs a battery, and unless you want your robot to be very large, very heavy, and too ...
