In a world first, Chinese PLA General Hospital researchers led by Dr. Zhang Xu have proven in a BMJ-published trial that robot telesurgery over 2,800km is as safe and effective as local surgery, revolutionizing access to cancer care.
New York-based Fauna Robotics has launched Sprout, a 22.7 kg humanoid development platform designed for safety and emotional engagement. Founders Rob Cochran and Josh Merel aim to democratize robotics, providing tools for building applications in education, therapy, and AI research right out of the box.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences have discovered 5,100-year-old dams using digital archaeology, proving ancient Chinese communities managed water cooperatively. This finding by researcher Liu Jianguo directly counters the long-standing Western theory of “Oriental despotism,” showing large-scale projects preceded centralized power.
In a world-first, Beijing’s X-Humanoid connected its ‘Embodied Tien Kung’ robot directly to a GalaxySpace low-earth-orbit satellite. The robot autonomously completed a retrieval and delivery mission, transmitting 720P visual data in real time without any ground network, pioneering a new era for remote robotic operations.
Shanghai’s EYOU Robot Technology Co. has launched the world’s first automated production line for robotic joints, with a 100,000-unit annual capacity. This solves the critical consistency and cost problem, enabling the mass production of humanoid robots for global markets.
1X Technologies has unveiled a “World Model” AI for its NEO humanoid robot, enabling it to learn new tasks like ironing or hair brushing by watching videos. The $20,000 robot can now translate simple prompts into autonomous actions using visual planning.
South Korean surgical robotics company LivsMed LLC has become a $1 billion “unicorn” after raising $94 million in a KOSDAQ IPO. Led by CEO Dr. Jung Joo Lee, the firm will accelerate its STARK remote surgery robot and smart instrument portfolio for global expansion.
Engineers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have built a detachable robot hand that can crawl on its fingers and hold multiple objects at once. Featured in Nature Communications, its symmetrical design defies human anatomy for greater efficiency.
