The Invisible Nervous System: Wireless Connectivity for Physical AI and Humanoids
As AI moves from labs into homes, warehouses, and factory floors, wireless connectivity has become as critical to a robot's intelligence as the AI model driving it. Here we look inside the low-latency, low-power, high-speed, multi-radio stack making embodied AI possible.
Hybrid robot skin combines EIT location maps with pneumatic force sensing
The prototype uses a rigid base, four soft air-tight pads, a continuous piezoresistive layer, and 32 boundary electrodes. Its parts were produced through 3D printing and spray coating.
What will it take to bring humanoid robots into the real world?
We asked TI experts to explain how semiconductor technologies could enable humanoid robots to move from specialized applications to scalable real-world systems, and what it will take to scale them for deployment.
How many chips does it take to build a humanoid robot?
Ultimately, a differentiated understanding of chip requirements across robot form factors, and a grasp of the migration pace of value from ‘execution' to ‘intelligence,' will be central to strategic positioning in the years ahead.
AGIBOT X2 Series Showcases Embodied AI at the World Cup, Marking a Historic Sports Companion Debut
This marks the first time an embodied AI humanoid robot has served as a full-scenario companion at a World Cup, signaling embodied AI's expansion from industrial and laboratory settings into one of the world's most celebrated sporting stages.
The Signal Beneath the Intelligence
While the industry debates models, parameters, and computer architectures, a more consequential story is unfolding at the signal level. Every autonomous system, no matter how sophisticated its software, must sense the real world, respond to it, and act within it.
Tactile Sensor Technology
Humanoid robots are expected to enter our homes soon, and a sense of touch is crucial for safe and capable humanoids. Homes are challenging, unstructured and highly dynamic environments.
The Missing Layer in Robotics Adoption: Why Emerging Markets Need Commercialization Labs
For robotics manufacturers, growth in emerging markets will depend as much on local integration, ROI validation, training, financing, and service infrastructure as on hardware capability.
What Robot Designers Should Check Before Choosing Right-Angle Gearing
In real right-angle gear projects, the biggest problems often come not from the gear type itself, but from mismatch between joint targets, support design, and acceptance criteria.
What It Takes to Deploy Humanoid Robots in Real World Industry
Since humanoids are most viable in environments where they can adapt to human-designed workflows without requiring extensive infrastructure changes. Still, successful deployment will hinge on meeting a set of practical operational constraints.
The Mass Penalty Spiral: Why Humanoid Robotics Needs "Physical AI"
This article explores the "Mass Penalty Spiral" and why the transition to Physical AI is the only path toward viable humanoid deployment.
How a Melexis Collaboration is Working to Develop the Touch-Enabled Robots of the Future
The convergence of feedback mechanisms, like tactile sensors, and smart and adaptive control systems, is an interdisciplinary challenge requiring extensive collaboration among electronic hardware, software, embedded systems, mechanical robotics, and mechatronics experts.
UniX AI introduces Panther, the world's first service humanoid robot to enter real household deployment, powered by its differentiated wheeled dual-arm architecture
The all-new wheeled dual-arm humanoid robot Panther is fitted with the world's first mass-produced 8-DoF bionic arms, an adaptive intelligent gripper on its high-DOF joint platform and features an omnidirectional four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive (4WS+4WD) chassis.
AGIBOT Reaches 10,000 Units as Real-World Demand for Robots Accelerates
More than a production figure, the achievement marks a significant step forward for the robotics industry, signaling a transition from early-stage validation to scalable, real-world deployment.
What It Takes to Make Humanoid Robots Move Like Humans: The Engineering Behind Joints, Hands, and Precision Control
A growing trend in humanoid robotics is the shift away from discrete component assembly toward integrated joint modules that combine motor, gearbox, sensors, and drive electronics into compact units.
