Robots can already see. They’re getting better at moving.
The next challenge is touch.
ART-Glove, developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, records both hand motion and tactile interaction data, helping create richer datasets for dexterous robot learning.
Knowing how to move is only half the problem.
Knowing how it feels may be the other half.

R-noid is built for the jobs that are repetitive, hard to staff, and needed all day.
A wheeled base, dual arms, rotating torso, and reach from the floor to 1.9m, designed for packing, picking, folding, restaurants, and hospitality.
The key idea: useful robotics is not always about legs. It is about fitting real workflows.

Tesla sees Optimus as much more than another robot.
The ambition is a general-purpose humanoid that can help with dangerous, repetitive, and physically demanding work and eventually daily tasks.
The hard part is not making it human-shaped. It is teaching it to understand, adapt, and safely act in the real world.

Humanoid robots are beginning to move as a team.
Using a new framework called Rhythm, researchers demonstrated two humanoids greeting, hugging, dancing, and walking together while maintaining stable physical contact and balance.
Coordinated movement is an important step toward collaborative robots in factories, healthcare, and beyond.
