Robotics

When 1,571 young innovators from 91 countries gather to build robots that think for themselves the future of autonomy looks less distant and more doable, and the setting in Singapore turns that momentum into a living lab where prototypes meet practical constraints. The scene signals a shift: youth

Everyday robots stumble not on strength or speed but on the simple chaos of new kitchens, offices, and factories where objects move, lighting shifts, and assumptions crumble between one task and the next. That predictable failure under domain shift has long slowed service and humanoid robots, even

An industry racing to make machines walk, grasp, and reason like people now faces a paradox of plenty, with capital, policy tailwinds, and supply chains generating scale faster than customers can absorb and deploy solutions at a sustainable pace across real workplaces and public services in ways

Airports across the world quietly lose time, fuel, and goodwill whenever a parked jet waits for ground power while crews juggle tight schedules, heavy cables, and unpredictable apron conditions under mounting operational pressure. The delay is small in isolation yet compounding in effect: every

For countless amputees, the loss of a limb marks the beginning of a hidden battle—one not just against mobility challenges, but against persistent hip and back pain that creeps in as the body compensates for an unnatural gait. What if technology could rewrite this story, turning a prosthetic from a

In the realm of modern technology, microrobots—tiny machines smaller than a millimeter—hold transformative potential for tasks like delivering drugs directly to specific cells or assembling intricate components in micro-manufacturing. Their minuscule size, however, poses a significant challenge:
