Boston Dynamics has demonstrated its new Atlas humanoid robot lifting and carrying a 50-pound fridge.
The robot uses its whole body to balance and move the heavy object in a natural, human-like way.
Before doing it in the real world, Atlas practiced the task for millions of hours in a virtual simulation.
US-based Ryse Aero Technologies has developed the Recon, a single-seat electric multicopter that does not require a pilot’s license to fly.
It can take off and land on both land and water, reaching speeds of up to 63 mph with a range of 25 miles.
The aircraft uses AI-assisted controls and joystick operation, making it easy to fly with minimal training.
Shenzhen-based Kinetix AI has introduced a faceless humanoid robot called KAI.
The robot is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 70 kilograms, and can carry loads up to 20 kilograms while running for around 4 hours on a single charge.
With highly flexible hands and precise movements, KAI can fold clothes, handle delicate objects, and assist with everyday household tasks.
