X Square Robot has raised $140 million to build the WALL-A model for general-purpose robots just four months after raising $100 million.

Trends such as industry-specific AI and a new data economy will affect physical AI in 2026, says a Universal Robots executive.

TESOLLO said the technology it developed in house enables a smaller and lighter 20-DoF robot hand.

Buildroid says its block-laying robot and supporting mobile robots, validated in simulation, can automate 80% of masonry work.

The Yomi platform combines real-time haptic guidance, pre-operative digital planning, and intra-operative adaptability.

Assistive Technology Development, or ATDev, is working with people with disabilities to develop systems for rehab and daily tasks.

Universal Robots has integrated its robot arm with Robotiq’s palletizing cell and Siemens’ digital twin software to make palletizing more efficient.

Amazon was an investor in Rightbot, which developed a suction-based robot for unloading trucks and trailers.

Surgerii Robotics has raised funding to further develop and market its SHURUI single-port endoscopic robot in Europe and globally.

Galbot’s flagship robot is the G1, a mobile manipulator with a human-like torso, two arms, and a mobile base.

The TRON 2 modular tri-form robot supports dual-arm, wheeled, and bipedal configurations for integrated VLA research and development.

The dataset is built from 10 real-world simulated environments in RealMan’s Beijing Humanoid Robot Data Training Center.

Whether you call Dex a wheeled humanoid or a mobile manipulator, Richtech Robotics’ system is a sign of things to come, says an investor.

A team of MIT researchers created a speech-to-reality system that enables a robot to build furniture with just a simple request.

Designed as a lightweight, top-mounted system, Ghost Robotics said the Manipulator Arm enables the Vision 60 to perform complex tasks.

The bipedal robot expands Humanoid’s portfolio, following the wheeled Alpha platform, which has completed its first commercial POCs.

Armstrong Robotics has already deployed autonomous dishwashing robots at restaurants for a year and a half.

Distalmotion plans to use the funding to target the U.S. ambulatory surgery center market for its DEXTER robot.
