Fight for me, robot.” That’s the future that China-based robotics maker Unitree is offering with surprisingly dexterous bots like the new R1 model. It is nearly as tall as a human, has decals and a mask that remind me of a scaled-up Power Rangers action figure, and is built with AI voice recognition and the ability to do flips.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review: More screen, more battery but something's missing

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-28 02:00:22

Samsung’s annual foldable refresh includes a trio of devices this year.
