King County Library System opened a $5.2 million automated sorting facility in Renton to process materials moving through its 50 libraries. Robotic arms destack totes every 15 seconds and route items into 186 delivery chutes.
Tactile robotics is expanding from sensor hardware into datasets, foundation models, and evaluation benchmarks. Research shows touch improves physical reasoning and robot success, but inconsistent sensor formats create major cross-device transfer challenges.
Waymo has published the architecture of its robotaxi onboard computer, offering its first detailed look inside the vehicle system. The company also introduced a custom 5-nanometer chip and identified seven suppliers supporting the platform.
Uber has begun offering Baidu’s driverless Apollo Go vehicles through its app in Dubai. Riders booking UberX or Uber Comfort may be matched with an autonomous vehicle, while a dedicated Autonomous option increases the chance of requesting one.
Xiaomi stabilized in Q2 2026 while expanding its AI strategy across models, chips, and robotics. Its MiMo-V2.5 model led OpenRouter call charts, the Xuanjie chip passed mass verification, and a humanoid robot began factory operations with a reported 98% success rate.
NVIDIA introduces Cosmos 3 Edge, a compact world model designed for on-device robot control. The 4B omni-model includes a 2B NVIDIA Nemotron-based reasoner to support adaptive policies across sensors, environments, and tasks.
As industrial systems, infrastructure, robots, and AI agents gain the ability to change physical conditions, cybersecurity must protect actions and outcomes—not only data and access. The article argues that future defenses need to evaluate whether an authorized action is appropriate for the current environment, state, and safety boundaries.
Unitree has launched a biomimetic seven-axis dexterous robotic arm, priced from 9,900 yuan. The product could lower the hardware cost of embodied AI development, robotic manipulation research, and automation prototyping.
Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Austin may now be operating without human supervision. The report suggests the autonomous-driving rollout has progressed, although the wording indicates the development is not fully confirmed.
Tesla’s Austin robotaxi service appears to be operating without human safety monitors. An independent monitoring project recorded 170 rides across 54 vehicles over the past two weeks, all without a monitor onboard.
