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.

The announcement places Atlas as one of the most sophisticated humanoid robots to proceed toward commercial deployment, following years of technical testing and public demonstrations. According to Boston Dynamics, the company’s majority shareholder, Hyundai, and its recently announced artificial intelligence partner, […]
At CES 2026, robot vacuum manufacturers continued to showcase experimental designs that push beyond conventional floor-cleaning capabilities. Among the more unconventional concepts on display was Dreame’s Cyber X, a research prototype designed to address one of the longstanding limitations of robotic vacuums: navigating multi-story homes with full staircases. The Cyber X stands out due to its integrated mechanical climbing system, which features large, treaded legs that allow the device to […]
Introduced at CES 2026, the Aiper Scuba V3 Ultra debuts as the world’s first cognitive AI 6-in-1 pool cleaner, bringing advanced automation and intelligence to residential pool maintenance. This robotic cleaner, which combines several cleaning features into a single device to reduce manual intervention for pool owners, is a major advancement in autonomous pool care. A cognitive artificial intelligence system at the heart of the Scuba V3 Ultra allows the […]
The Roborock RockMow X1 LiDAR is an all-terrain robotic lawnmower that was showcased at CES 2026. It is made for expansive and difficult outdoor areas and prioritizes sophisticated navigation, obstacle detection, and durable mobility. As the most technologically advanced model in the new lineup announced for 2026, the X1 LiDAR builds upon Roborock’s prior all-wheel-drive mower platform. A key characteristic of the RockMow X1 LiDAR is its two cameras and […]
Roborock unveiled significant innovations at CES 2026 that demonstrate its larger plan to extend robotic automation beyond traditional indoor cleaning: the experimental Saros Rover robot vacuum. An important change from conventional robot vacuums is the Saros Rover. Rather than just using wheels, it also has two articulated legs that end in motorized wheels. Because of this design, the robot can navigate through obstacles like stairs, uneven floors, and even stairs that […]
NexLawn, a high-end outdoor equipment brand owned by the MOVA Group, has unveiled the NAVIA 6000 AWD, a highly accurate robotic lawnmower made for intricate and extra-large lawns up to 1.5 acres.
