Le fabricant de robots humanoïdes Engine AI ambitionnerait d’envoyer l’un de ses robots dans l’espace, dans le cadre d’un partenariat avec une société chinoise de vol spatial commercial.
Les robots géants ne servent pas qu'à combattre la menace extra-terrestre. Ils peuvent aussi être utilisés à des tâches plus banales mais pas moins nécessaires, comme l'entretien des lignes ferroviaires ! La West Japan Railway (West JR) a ainsi dévoilé un robot humanoïde géant pour cet usage. Il mesure 12 mètres de haut et il est équipé de bras puissants pouvant être munis de scies ou de gros pinceaux.
Jusqu’ici, les robots étaient à l’aise surtout quand tout se passait comme prévu. Un environnement balisé, des gestes répétés à l’infini, et aucune surprise au programme. Avec le modèle Rho-alpha, Microsoft promet des machines plus habiles, capables de comprendre des instructions en langage naturel et même de s’appuyer sur le toucher tactile pour mieux agir.
A new analysis suggests that OpenAI could face serious financial pressure and may run out of cash by mid-2027, raising questions about how sustainable the economics of frontier AI development really are. The argument comes from Sebastian Mallaby, an economist and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, who recently examined the company’s spending patterns and long-term funding challenges. The concern is closely tied to the high cost of […]
Elon Musk a assuré que son robot humanoïde Optimus sera vendu au public d’ici la fin de l’année prochaine. Une annonce spectaculaire, aussitôt accueillie avec une bonne dose de scepticisme par quiconque a déjà suivi les calendriers farfelus du patron de Tesla.
Un visage robotique capable d’apprendre à synchroniser ses lèvres avec la parole et le chant : c’est la prouesse dévoilée par des chercheurs de la Columbia University dans une vidéo publiée par Reuters le 22 janvier 2026. Un résultat aussi fascinant que dérangeant.
