The upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 is poised to be a watershed moment for the humanoid robotics industry, with China sending an unmistakable signal of its intent to lead the field. The sheer scale of its presence is a testament to this ambition; of the 38 companies exhibiting in the

The long-promised future of household robots assisting with daily chores has been consistently stalled by a deceptively simple challenge: the ability to skillfully and adaptively handle everyday objects. Industrial robots can weld a car frame with flawless repetition, but they lack the innate sense

The blueprint for a future where humanoid machines handle our most tedious chores is no longer confined to speculative fiction, but is being actively drawn up in engineering labs around the globe, prompting a critical examination of what we gain in convenience and what we risk losing in our

The immense computational power required to run sophisticated large language models has long served as a financial gatekeeper, confining the most advanced AI to the domains of tech giants with colossal data centers. The emergence of edge-assisted serving for Large Language Models (LLMs), however,

The very central processing unit that grants advanced robots their cognitive prowess is also the critical bottleneck that leaves them vulnerable to instantaneous physical harm, a paradox that has long hindered their deployment in unpredictable, dynamic environments. This research summary explores a

The ambitious goal of creating electronics that can perceive the physical world with the same nuance as human skin has long been hindered by the cumbersome nature of conventional sensor technology. For devices to truly interact with their environment, they must simultaneously detect multiple
