China has officially launched its first humanoid robot football league. And while the players may not breathe, they’re already learning to dribble, shoot, fall, and get back up. The RoBoLeague, which began on June 28, 2025 in Beijing, pits AI-controlled humanoid robots against each other in fully autonomous 3-on-3 soccer matches. The first match featured robot teams developed by Tsinghua University and China Agricultural University. Tsinghua’s squad won the game with a final score of 5-3. The

Robots Are About to Outnumber Humans At Amazon Warehouses

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-13 07:07:09

Amazon will soon have as many robots as it does humans plugging away at its warehouses, the Wall Street Journal reports. At this rate, it won't be long until the flesh and blood employees are downright outnumbered. According to the reporting, Amazon says it's now deployed an all-time high of more than one million robots at its facilities, putting the bots nearly on par with the number of its human workers. Amazon employs 1.56 million people overall; while it doesn't specify the exact number tha

Amazon's fleet of warehouse robots just hit a new milestone. The company announced Monday that it deployed its millionth bot to begin operations at a fulfillment center in Japan. Amazon's ambitions for robot use have long surpassed the company utilizing them for delivery service. The business juggernaut is the world's leading manufacturer of mobile robotics, and aims to sell them to you for use at home as well -- if you have $1,600 to spare.

Ask HN: 80s electronics book club; anyone remember this illustrator?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-17 12:46:18

In the early 80's in the US, a popular DIY electronics magazine had a book of the month club that I loved. Most were small and leather bound hardback with topics like: make your own hydrophone; augmented reality (required a full room and a boom arm, sadly); an LCD model rocket launcher ignition; computer vision; lots and lots of robots. One book I remember (large, softcover, yellow cover) featured black and white, pen and ink illustrations of fantastically complex robots and machines. One that

Google’s new robotics AI can run without the cloud and still tie your shoes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-30 11:00:41

We sometimes call chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT "robots," but generative AI is also playing a growing role in real, physical robots. After announcing Gemini Robotics earlier this year, Google DeepMind has now revealed a new on-device VLA (vision language action) model to control robots. Unlike the previous release, there's no cloud component, allowing robots to operate with full autonomy. Carolina Parada, head of robotics at Google DeepMind, says this approach to AI robotics could make robot

Google DeepMind on Tuesday released a new language model called Gemini Robotics On-Device that can run tasks locally on robots without requiring an internet connection. Building on the company’s previous Gemini Robotics model that was released in March, Gemini Robotics On-Device can control a robot’s movements. Developers can control and fine-tune the model to suit various needs using natural language prompts. In benchmarks, Google claims the model performs at a level close to the cloud-based

A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Robotics

news.ycombinator.com Benjie Holson 2025-08-30 21:28:10

(An homage to one of my favorite pieces on the internet: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages) Early History: Various automata were built powered by water, clockwork or steam. Redditors at the time argue that they are not really robots. This is despite the fact that the word “robot” would not be invented until 1920. 1495: Leonardo da Vinci invents a mechanical knight that sits up, moves its head and waves its arm.

Boston Dynamics robots dance to ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ for ‘America’s Got Talent’ audition

A dance crew of four-legged robots from Boston Dynamics appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to perform a synchronized routine to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Their performance was impressive enough to earn four “yes” votes from the judges — but one of the five robots experienced some stage fright, perhaps, and shut down in the middle of the routine. But the show must go on, so nevertheless, the four other robots persisted. “Can I be honest with you?” judge Simon Cowell asked at the conclusion o

Why humanoid robots need their own safety rules

technologyreview.com Victoria Turk 2025-09-17 18:11:33

“If Digit’s going to walk out into an aisle in front of you, you don’t want to be surprised by that,” he says. The robot could use voice commands, but audio alone is not practical for a loud industrial setting. It could be even more confusing if you have multiple robots in the same space—which one is trying to get your attention? There’s also a psychological effect that differentiates humanoids from other kinds of robots, says Prather. We naturally anthropomorphize robots that look like us, whi

Robot with 1,000 muscles twitches like human while dangling from ceiling

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots. Atherton, California-based Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones. The company bui
