Anthropic has unveiled an experimental MHS standard that allows AI agents to directly control physical hardware and independently conduct experiments without complex software.

Icelandic architects Arnýrður Palmadottir and Arnar Skarfeoinsson have proposed using volcanic lava as a building material with the help of robots and 3D printing. The concept, presented at the 2025 Venice Biennale, could become a reality by 2150.

At WRC 2026 in Beijing, RealMan Robotics showcased RealBOT robots for pharmacies, kitchens, and factories and announced the deployment of around 1,000 machines in 2026, controlled via the GLN network with millisecond-level latency.

In Beijing, during a training session ahead of the World Humanoid Robot Games, an android sprinter failed to brake and smashed its body at full speed into a protective mat. The incident was called the first 'injury' of robots.

At the World Humanoid Robot Games, Chinese robots Tiangong Ultra and Lightning covered 100 meters faster than Usain Bolt's record, with Tiangong Ultra taking the gold on the first day.

Marine drones in Ukraine are ceasing to be merely strike weapons: according to an expert, they are transforming into functional platforms for reconnaissance, logistics, and robotic naval landings.

Ukrainian maritime unmanned boats are ceasing to be just strike raiders: they are turning into multi-functional platforms — carriers of FPV drones, scouts, and communication means, changing the balance of power in the Black Sea.

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.

IDC analysts have assessed the consequences of banning Chinese robot imports in the US: the market will lose up to $6 billion but will maintain growth, while Europe will gain access to more equipment.

🤖 **Breakthrough in robotics:** Lviv engineers from PAWELL Battery have quadrupled the range of the 'Plastun' robot — from 25 to 100 km! 🔋 **Technology:** Replacing the lithium-ion battery with a solid-state one provided +60% energy per kilogram of weight. 🛡️ **Tactics:** The robot is no longer tied to the rear, can take detours, and work a full shift. 🇺🇦 **Trend:** Energy is becoming the key to the autonomy of all Ukrainian robotics.
