The winning runner at a Beijing half-marathon for #humanoid #robots finished the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. A different #Honor robot finished in 48 minutes and 19 seconds. But that one was remote controlled - the 50:26 robot was autonomous and won due to weighted scoring.
About 40% of participating robots competed #autonomously, while the remaining 60% were remote controlled
#NASA robots 📆 Apr 29, 2025 :
• A modular system of small #robots and smart algorithms that can #autonomously assemble large-scale structures in #space
• A team of small lunar rovers designed to operate #independently, navigating and making decisions together
• A robotic arm system built for #lunar #construction tasks 🏗️
• A lunar #bulldozer-dump #truck hybrid designed to mine ⚒️ and transport regolith

Ukraine’s AI-powered mother drone sees 1st combat use
#AI #Drone system, developed by #Ukraine, can deliver 2 #AI-guided #FPV (first-person view) strike #drones up to 300 kilometers (186 miles) behind enemy lines, according to Fedorov. Once released, the smaller drones can #autonomously locate and hit high-value targets, including aircraft, air defense systems, and critical infrastructure — all without using GPS.

"Atlas is #autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly. The #robot receives as input a list of bin locations to move parts between.

Imagine you tell everyone that you have this amazing #technology, and people #invest in your company because of it, but it's all a lie.
With Holmes and her blood test, we rightfully considered it #fraud. Yet, Elon and Bezos seem to get away with it.
One claimed his #AI drives cars #autonomously (in demos), making claims it will be available #commercially any time now.
The other claimed his stores have an #aidriven #checkout, while it was a bunch of folks reviewing #videofootage & deciding.
