Robots are getting a sense of touch and a rudimentary sense of pain. A neuromorphic electronic skin can now encode tactile information into neural-like signals, detect harmful contact, pinpoint damage and trigger instant protective reflexes. This leap toward instinctive machines could mark a major moment for robotics and the kind of tech you’ll find at FOS Future Lab at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed...

You’ve heard of autonomous cars. You’ve probably accepted autonomous vacuum cleaners. Now meet the autonomous umbrella: a flying, self-piloting canopy designed to track its user and provide hands-free protection from rain or sun. Coming to an awards ceremony red carpet near you, soon..

As the James Webb Space Telescope reveals supermassive black holes are on the move – at two million miles per hour no less – Cosmos Unseen: Black Holes brings the latest discoveries into immersive focus thanks to a new Android-exclusive AR experience that began with Cosmos in Focus at last year’s FOS Future Lab...

From delivering life-saving medical devices to transforming ancient architecture and preparing for flight on Mars, a new generation of drones is expanding the limits of what uncrewed aircraft can do. Recent breakthroughs in emergency response, artistic reconstruction, space exploration and micro-robotics signal a turning point in aerial innovation...
