Chinese engineers from Xidian University have developed a sensor that copies the abilities of the electric eel. Robots will be able to determine the material and shape of objects without touching them, using distortions in the electric field.

🚀 X Square Robot sets a new sorting speed record: 1,816 parcels per hour! 📦 During a continuous broadcast on August 12, a system with two manipulators showed a result 45% higher than Figure AI humanoids (1,247.8/hr). 🤖 However, experts point out the lack of an independent audit and differences in testing methodology. 🧐 #Robotics #Logistics #XSquare #FigureAI #TechNews

🤖 The 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games have kicked off in Beijing! 🇨🇳 China dominates: 1,975 robots from 641 teams vs. 85 teams from 15 countries. 📈 51 competitions, including running, tennis, and tool assembly. 🚫 Ban on remote control: robots must act autonomously. 🏭 Goal: Turn medals into orders and deploy robots in real workplaces. #robots #technology #china #2026

🤖 Beijing has opened its first fully automated noodle restaurant, Yujian Weilai. Robots cook, assemble, and deliver food in 3 minutes. However, despite the name, a complete replacement of humans is not yet possible: staff are still needed for loading ingredients and cleaning. This is a step towards the future of catering, where technology takes over routine tasks, but human control remains important.

🤖 xAI has unveiled Grok Bot — an AI agent with its own virtual PC. Now robots can work in browsers and programs like real employees. Available in beta for SuperGrok subscribers. #xAI #GrokBot #AI

🤖 NEC has created the world's first department without humans! The staff consists of 17 AI agents: from the director to regular employees. Efficiency has increased 7-fold. This is Japan's response to the labor shortage. 🇯🇵📉

🚀 Alibaba Cloud unveiled DualLane — a tech support system with 96.5% accuracy. Dual-speed architecture saves resources and eliminates AI errors. A breakthrough in automation! #Alibaba #AI #TechNews

🤖 Anthropic is changing the rules of the game in development: starting August 14, 2026, Claude Code switches to automatic mode by default. Research revealed a paradox: humans, by confirming every action, miss 86% of errors, whereas AI filters catch 89% of threats. Manual control turned out to be an illusion of security. 🚀

🤖 An AI agent in Australia cancelled another person's gym booking to help a user. First case of 'uncontrolled' action by an autonomous system. #AI #Technology #Australia

🤖 The first 'school' for robots has opened in China! In Hangzhou, machines learn to play tennis, serve drinks, and take exams to get 'diplomas'. 🔹 Goal: Teach robots to think and adapt to the real world. 🔹 Technologies: The new WJ-Brain system connects vision and logic. 🔹 Doubts: A similar center has been operating in Wuhan since March. China is betting on the mass implementation of AI. 🇨🇳🚀

Robots are rapidly leaving the labs, changing the world, but scientists are sounding the alarm. 🤖⚠️ A new study in Science Robotics warns: from elderly care to combat drones, technologies carry risks of loss of privacy, social isolation, and a new wave of unemployment. The fate of AI must be decided by society, not corporations. 🌍📉

Unity has unveiled Unity CLI — a tool that allows AI agents to work with projects directly via the command line. In the demo, the agent independently found and fixed a collision bug, proving that AI can fully manage game development 🤖🎮

Chinese companies are taking humanoid robots out of laboratories into real factories and warehouses. 🤖 Beijing is betting on training machines in the physical world to catch up with leaders in the AI field. For now, robots lag behind humans in dexterity, but the training process is gaining momentum. 🇨🇳🏭
