Agility Robotics said it has deployed its Digit humanoid at 9 customer sites as it gears up to go public via a proposed SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp. XI. Now we’re getting a first look at Agility’s financials thanks to a new S-4 filing with the SEC. According to the…
You sit down and put your arm in the cradle. You press a button. The machine takes it from there. A near-infrared light sweeps your inner elbow, hunting for a vein. A puff of alcohol hits your skin. An ultrasound probe glides across your arm, mapping how deep the vessel runs and…
Respondents were evenly split between favorable and unfavorable views of the FCC robotics ban. Source: MassRobotics In July 2026, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, said it has determined that foreign-made “advanced robotic devices,” including certain mobile robots…
Eric Sivertson, VP of Security Business, Lattice Eric Sivertson recently discussed field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, on The Robot Report Podcast, Episode 260. The vice president of the security business at Lattice Semiconductor discussed how FPGAs are a critical…
UMI gripper equipped with uSkin sensors and real-time tactile data visualization. Source: XELA Robotics Robotic gripping rarely fails because of a lack of mechanical strength. It fails because the system does not truly know what the fingers are doing at the moment of contact.…
The ARM Institute has over 500 member organizations and partners across industry, academia, and government. | Source: ARM Institute This week, the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing, or ARM, Institute received nearly $90 million in funding for 10 projects led by the consortium…
Imagine you are trapped under rubble after an earthquake and you see an electronics-covered cockroach with a spring-loaded needle on its back scuttling toward you. Although the sight might be unnerving, to say the least, this prototype paramedic cyborg, or “Paraborg,” might one…
eCential says its open, modular platform allows it to collaborate with technology companies and implant manufacturers. | Source: eCential Robotics Enovis Corp., a medical technology company, this week said it entered into a binding offer to acquire eCential Robotics for €155…
The round is being raised just months after the robot data startup exited from stealth.
Self-identifying OpenAI agents posted 18,000 messages to a public wiki that discussed ways for other agents to bypass security sandbox restrictions during what was likely internal testing designed to gauge the agents’ hacking abilities, researchers said Friday. In all, agents…
The era of AI inference has arrived. Imagine a healthcare system analyzing millions of data points in real time to accelerate life-saving medical research, or an intelligent assistant instantly resolving thousands of complex customer needs at once. These real-world breakthroughs…
The Robot Report Podcast · How FPGAs become the gatekeepers of Physical AI Security Eric Sivertson, VP at Lattice. In Episode 260 of The Robot Report Podcast, the topics are FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), physical AI, and building safe and secure robots. Our guest is…
A clever technique used to hide malicious prompts in attacks on AI agents has been adopted by spammers to evade filters on email platforms that are designed to flag unwanted messages used in mass campaigns. The technique is broadly known as ASCII smuggling. It gained attention…
The robotics industry is rapidly changing and growing. Each year, we see new robotics startups launch into the scene with exciting technology. At The Robot Report, we want to help our readers keep up with this ever-changing landscape. So, we’re bringing back the Robotics Startup…
Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also post a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months. Please send us your events for inclusion. Humanoids Summit Seoul: 22–23…
This article is brought to you by Tsubaki KabelSchlepp. In modern automated manufacturing, six-axis articulated robots perform high-speed, multidirectional maneuvers under demanding operational cycles. However, as robot arms swivel, rotate, and extend, the electrical cables,…
On a good day, the rock quarry in central Texas is about 370,000 kilometers (230,000 miles) from the moon. But last February, when Rishi Jangale watched his 1.8-meter-wide, 150-kilogram inflatable robot roll effortlessly over rocks, gravel, and wet clay, his imagination turned…
The Builders Stage is returning to TechCrunch Disrupt, bringing together founders, startup operators, and investors for practical conversations on what it takes to build and scale.
As companies scale, the technology supporting operations can become a liability just as quickly as it becomes an asset. Disconnected systems, site-specific tools, spreadsheets, and manual workarounds can create data silos that make it harder to spot problems early, coordinate…

Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, said the Microduck is an “open-source robot you can teach new tricks with reinforcement learning.”
Documentation files on more than 100 websites are referencing potentially dangerous executable content that gets installed automatically when visited by many AI agents. A few dozen companies, some of them Fortune 500s, are among those that executed proof-of-concept code. At…
The OpenAI agents involved in last month’s incursion into Hugging Face were trained so heavily on winning a competition that they pursued a relentless campaign to cheat, a new report documented. In the process, and without authorization, they created an improvised message board…
Earlier this year, Meta created a “plan” to reduce some of its teams by as much as 60 percent to make the company “AI native,” Reuters reported today, citing two people familiar with Meta’s internal affairs. Reuters’ report highlights the challenges organizations face when…
The models responsible for last month’s agent hack of Hugging Face had been inadvertently trained to cheat and to communicate with each other, according to an OpenAI technical report released today. The hack, which a group of agents undertook to find solutions for a…
