- 1Oarfish fins inspire large underwater robot design▼Mysterious oarfish’s fins inspire large underwater robot design
Researchers at Cornell University have designed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a deep-sea creature known for its long ribbon-like body and distinctive dorsal fin. The team studied how the fish propels itself with a rippling fin along its body and reproduced that movement in the robot, aiming for efficient, stable swimming at scale for future underwater exploration.
- 2Oarfish fins inspire new large underwater robot design●Mysterious oarfish's fins inspire large underwater robot design
Engineers have developed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a long, ribbon-like deep-sea fish known for its distinctive dorsal fin. The design draws on the fish's fin-based propulsion to enable efficient movement at scale. Details of the robot's capabilities and intended applications have not been fully outlined in the available reporting.
- 3Walmart slashes $330 robot vacuum and mop to $85▼How does Walmart have this $330 robot vacuum & mop on sale for just $85?
Walmart is selling a robot vacuum and mop combination, normally priced at $330, for just $85, prompting questions about how such a steep discount is possible. The deal is drawing attention from bargain hunters looking for budget-friendly cleaning tech, with shoppers weighing whether the low price reflects a genuine clearance offer or a limited-time promotional sale.

Space-mining company AstroForge says it intends to let artificial intelligence run an entire mission autonomously using its Solo system. If successful, it would be one of the first deep-space missions operated end to end by AI rather than ground controllers, a notable step for autonomous spacecraft operations and for the company's asteroid-mining ambitions.
- 5New deep-sea robot can dive nearly 15,000 feet▼New deep-sea robot can dive nearly 15,000 feet for ocean exploration
A newly developed deep-sea robot is designed to dive nearly 15,000 feet, allowing researchers to explore and study ocean regions far beyond the reach of most equipment. The machine is intended for ocean exploration tasks at depths where pressure and darkness make human operations impossible.
- 6Generative AI grants spacecraft new autonomy●Generative AI gives spacecraft the autonomy that engineers once feared, @ ieeespectrum reports. "Robots and rovers in de
IEEE Spectrum reports that generative AI is giving spacecraft and rovers in deep space a level of autonomy engineers once feared. Robots operating far from Earth sometimes need to make their own decisions when communication delays make ground control impractical, and AI is increasingly being trusted to handle that decision-making.
- 7China deploys deep-sea robot for South China Sea exploration●China deploys 14,764-foot robot for deep-sea exploration in South China Sea China has reportedly launched a domestically
China has launched a domestically developed deep-sea robot capable of operating at depths of around 14,764 feet in the South China Sea. The vehicle is intended for deep-sea exploration and survey work, and the deployment is being reported as a demonstration of China's advancing homegrown underwater robotics and ocean research capabilities.
- 8DEEP Robotics robot dog tested in Japanese tunnel trials▼DEEP Robotics' Robot Dog Takes Part in Tunnel Field Trials in Japan, Exploring New Ways to Improve Underground Infrastructure Safety
Chinese robotics firm DEEP Robotics has put its quadruped robot dog through field trials in tunnels in Japan, testing how the machine can inspect underground infrastructure and improve safety for maintenance crews. The trials explore whether legged robots can navigate environments that are difficult or hazardous for humans.
