Uber's founder Travis Kalanick has launched a new company called Atoms, absorbing his CloudKitchens ghost kitchen venture and expanding into robotics, mining, and transportation automation.

Plug-and-play AI modules let robots acquire new capabilities without full retraining, accelerating deployment across industries.

Researchers have created modular robots that autonomously reconfigure into billions of possible body shapes, all constructed entirely from identical leg modules.

As AI agents take over routine tasks, a new divide is emerging in the workplace: those who leverage agents to multiply their output and those whose roles are being automated away entirely.

From factory floors to warehouses, physical AI is emerging as the next frontier as nations and corporations compete to build intelligent robots.

NORD has released a digital twin simulation platform that enables robotics engineers to validate drive concepts before building physical prototypes. The system allows developers to test motor, gearbox, and inverter configurations in virtual environments, potentially saving months of development time.
