Unitree가 65만 달러의 생산용 유인 메카를 공개했다. 변형 가능한 구조를 갖췄고, 기술적으로는 민간용 차량으로 분류된다. 로봇 공학과 상용 하드웨어 측면에서 매우 이례적이고 주목할 만한 제품 발표다.

The End of Work as We Know It

2025년 미국 노동시장 데이터 수정으로 일자리 증가가 크게 줄었음에도 경제 생산성은 크게 향상되어 AI와 자동화가 노동 투입을 줄이면서도 생산을 늘린 것으로 분석된다. 특히 22~25세 젊은 근로자들의 고용이 AI 노출 직종에서 크게 감소했으며, 이는 AI가 저비용으로 인지 작업을 대체하기 때문으로 보인다. AI와 로봇공학이 각각 인지 및 육체 노동을 자동화하며 노동시장을 압박하고 있으며, 이로 인해 신입 및 저임금 일자리가 급감하는 구조적 변화가 진행 중이다. 다만, 경제 전체 지표에서는 아직 명확한 AI 영향 신호가 혼재되어 있어 향후 추세를 지켜봐야 한다.

Teen builds 'Bionic Underwater Robotic Turtle' to detect ecological threats

캐나다 고등학생 에반 버즈가 바다거북의 유영 동작을 모방한 자율 수중 로봇 'BURT'를 개발했다. 이 로봇은 AI와 다양한 센서를 활용해 산호 백화 현상, 침입종, 미세플라스틱 등 생태계 위협을 감지하며, 기존 수중 장비보다 환경에 미치는 영향이 적다. Raspberry Pi 기반으로 동작하며, 8시간 연속 운행과 태양광 충전도 가능하다. BURT는 96% 정확도로 산호 백화를 탐지하며, 향후 다양한 수중 환경에서 활용될 예정이다.
