MIT professor Daniela Rus explains how AI-powered robots are being trained to safely assist in homes and daily life.

However, as Bloomberg reports, Apple is now "plotting its artificial intelligence comeback," with the tabletop robot slash virtual companion at the center. The new AI-powered smart home devices from Apple could potentially arrive in 2027, Gurman says, citing Apple insiders.

We’ve heard about this supposed home robotics project before, but Bloomberg’s star Apple leaker Mark Gurman wrote on Wednesday that Apple wants to give the bot the ability to interject itself into conversations as if it were an active participant.

Artificial intelligence technology to get humanoid robots into the mainstream remains a key challenge for the sector, according to the founder of one of China’s prominent robot developers.

Humanoid robots raced and punched their way through three days of a multi-sport competition at the World Humanoid Robot Games, wrapping up Sunday in Beijing. But they also toppled, crashed and collapsed, requiring humans’ help and leading to questions about how far, after all, the robots can go on their own.

Apple's upcoming tabletop robot expected in 2027, revolutionizing personal interactions with AI with a 7-inch iPad-style display, and a moveable arm.

Apple Inc. is plotting its artificial intelligence comeback with an ambitious slate of new devices, including robots, a lifelike version of Siri, a smart speaker with a display and home-security cameras.

For millennia, developing resilient crops relied on pollination by nature or humans—making the process long and often costly. Now, scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reimagined the pollination process by developing a new system that uses gene editing to create flowers that can be easily pollinated by AI-controlled robots working round the clock.

What I want is a device to clean up late after a dinner party so I can go to bed.
