MIT engineers have created an insect-sized jumping robot that consumes only a fraction of the energy used by flying bots of the same scale. By relying on powerful leaps instead of flight, it can efficiently clear tall obstacles while conserving energy. The robot is capable of landing on uneven terrain and carrying payloads up to ten times heavier than aerial alternatives, making it a strong candidate for search-and-rescue missions, exploration, and future robotics applications.

🤖✨ Robots that heal themselves? Sounds like sci-fi, right? But the reality is closer than you think! Imagine a robot that gets a cut in its “skin” and fixes it all on its own; no human repair needed. This innovation could change the future of rescue missions, space exploration, and even hazardous jobs on Earth. 👉 Stay tuned and follow us for more mind-blowing tech facts every week! #ai #artificialintelligents #Robots

S02 T4: Autonomy for Mars Robotics Missions — Maruthi R. Akella (UT Austin) | SRW25 "Autonomy is presented as a necessity for Mars missions, driven by communication delays that demand extensive onboard decision-making for both manned and unmanned operations. This is addressed through research focused on learning, perception, and execution, with a strong emphasis on establishing safety and trust guarantees for dynamic and unpredictable scenarios. A critical technical challenge highlighted is robust Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), which necessitates a scalable architecture for the Martian environment capable of overcoming communication blackouts during critical entry, descent, and landing phases." Talk delivered in Session: S02 “Mars Settlement Starts with Autonomy and Robotics,” Space Robotics Workshop (SRW) 2025 @ IEEE SMC-IT/SCC — California Science Center, Los Angeles. https://lnkd.in/er3_Crr7

🔖 Meet C-Ray — The Shape-Shifting Underwater Robot Transforming Aquatic Exploration Developed by Pliant Energy Systems Inc., C-Ray is a next-generation robotic platform capable of moving in multiple ways: gliding like a ray 🐟, crawling like a millipede 🐛, jetting like a squid 🦑, or slithering like a snake 🐍. Its flexible, hyperbolic fins enable strong, efficient propulsion with minimal energy consumption. ⚖️ Why C-Ray Matters ✅ Versatile Exploration: Navigates diverse underwater environments — from delicate coral reefs to complex mine inspections — all in a single mission. ✅ Energy-Efficient Design: Wave-like propulsion delivers thrust efficiently, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. ✅ Stealth Operations: Quieter and less intrusive than propeller-driven vehicles, preserving marine ecosystems. 💡 Applications and Impact • Marine research and ecosystem monitoring • Industrial inspections in underwater infrastructure • Environmental conservation and data collection 🌊 Global Benchmark: C-Ray’s versatility is reminiscent of AEROGO INDIA 's AquaAirX, India’s AI-enabled amphibious drone that transitions between water and air, showing how biomimetic AI robotics is advancing worldwide. 🎯 What You Must Know C-Ray represents the future of aquatic robotics: combining adaptability, efficiency, and minimal environmental footprint. Organizations leveraging such technology can conduct deeper, longer, and safer underwater operations. 🚀 Stay ahead of emerging tech and understand how robotics is reshaping exploration and industry.

The initiative will focus on adapting Persona AI’s humanoid robots, based in part on NASA’s robotic hand technology, for a range of shipyard tasks. Unlike traditional industrial robots, humanoid robots are uniquely suited to operate in shipyards designed for human workers, offering flexibility and mobility in complex, confined, or ergonomically challenging spaces. https://lnkd.in/gv5MR8KF Persona AI Inc American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) John McDonald Nicolaus Radford #wbo #Collaboration #develop #inspection #technologies #humanoid #robot #platform #productivity #safety #shipyards #formalised #signing #MOU #technology

With its new funding, Icarus is working towards a 2027 launch to the ISS, when it will be able to test its robots in space. The post Icarus raises $6.1M to use robots to supplement space labor appeared first on The Robot Report. #Icarus #SpaceRobots #SpaceTech #Innovation #Robotics

Above our heads, silent satellites drift—until robots learn to fix them. Autonomous Orbital Robots In low Earth orbit and far beyond, AI-guided servicer robots are changing space from “launch and leave” to repair, refuel, and revive. These autonomous vehicles rendezvous with aging satellites, dock with millimeter precision, replace modules, and nudge orbits to cut debris—keeping the systems we rely on (navigation, weather, comms) alive longer. This is more than engineering; it’s space stewardship. On-edge vision, sensor fusion, and fail-safe planning let robots work where humans can’t, turning fragility into resilience and waste into sustainability. The future of space isn’t disposable—it’s maintainable. Speaker Dr. Qamar Ul Islam D.Engg. B.Tech. M.Tech.
