Researchers have unveiled a paper-thin robot driven by living muscle cells that can swim its way through an underwater maze. The biohybrid device, reported by Tech Xplore, demonstrates how engineered muscle tissue can be used to propel soft microrobots through complex aquatic environments, a step with potential applications in medicine and targeted delivery.
- 6Depot to deploy thirty autonomous robots next springโNext spring our largest depot takes delivery of thirty autonomous mobile robots. They will carry totes between the pick
A large warehouse depot will take delivery of thirty autonomous mobile robots next spring. The robots will carry totes between pick faces and packing benches, working alongside roughly 120 people during busy shifts. A trial with six robots ran last winter, and the deployment follows its results.
- 7Cantor Backs Tesla's AI Pivot Despite Expected Q2 Delivery MissโTSLA Q2 Deliveries May Miss Estimates, But Cantor Says AI, Robotics, Chips Could Drive 'Transformational' 2026
Analysts expect Tesla to fall short of estimates for second-quarter vehicle deliveries, but Cantor Fitzgerald is looking past the near-term weakness. The firm argues that Tesla's work in artificial intelligence, robotics and semiconductor development could make 2026 a 'transformational' year for the company, keeping the stock in focus ahead of the delivery report.
