The company says Atlas will be trained to work in its auto plants, adopting the same strategy that Tesla is using to validate its "Optimus" humanoid. Hyundai says it will build 30,000 robots globally by 2028, with a big robotics plant coming to America around then.

Robots displayed at CES 2026 show they're not trying to be sci-fi anymore. They’re practical, folding laundry and offering companionship.

Spot, Boston Dynamics' first commercial robot, was first shown to the world in 2016 — but that didn't stop Hyundai from showing it off at CES six years later. It seems to be finding success in a few niche roles: as an inspection robot, and in some bomb disposal squads.

At the CES trade show in Las Vegas this week, robots poured coffee, played ping pong, dealt poker hands and folded laundry — all within a few feet of one another.

X-Origin AI showcased Yonbo X1, a $570 ChatGPT-powered robot designed to help children learn through empathy, adaptability, and interactive play.

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

Humanoid robots to build cars for major manufacturer from 2028 - Automation in production lines is not new, but soon robots will work alongside human staff

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in liquid for months. Inside this speck is a functioning computer, a sensor, and a motor—integrated into a single machine that can sense its surroundings and change its behavior on its own.

According to a study, robots built with lab-grown skeletal muscle tissue could require physical exercises similar to those of humans. Called biohybrid robots, these innovations can achieve lifelike agility with exercises like human workouts. A new study ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new era for manufacturing, inspired by nature. Bees, ants and ...
