- 1Robotic Dogs Take On New Forms As Missions Expand▼Robotic Dogs Are Taking Different Forms As Their Mission Roles Expand
Robotic dogs are being redesigned into different forms as the range of missions they are assigned continues to broaden. Forbes reports that manufacturers are adapting quadruped robots beyond their original inspection and patrol roles, reshaping their bodies and capabilities to suit new tasks across defence, industry and public safety.
- 2Soft robotic exosuit helps older adults stand and walk●A soft robotic # exosuit developed at TUM helps older adults stand up and walk more efficiently. In a study, 10 particip
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a soft robotic exosuit that assists older adults with standing up and walking. In a study, 10 participants completed sit-to-stand movements faster while wearing the suit, which supports the body with fabric-based actuators rather than a rigid frame. The work points to assistive robotics that could help seniors stay mobile and independent in daily life.

A creator dressed in a robot suit visited a children's park in the popular Sakura School Simulator game, and the kids' unexpected reactions are drawing wide attention. Viewers are sharing the clip as a lighthearted take on how people respond to a robot suddenly appearing in an everyday setting, fuelling interest in robotics-themed entertainment content.
- 4Mendaera launches handheld needle robot with Butterfly ultrasound probe▼Mendaera rolls out handheld needle robot paired with Butterfly ultrasound probe
Medical robotics company Mendaera has rolled out a handheld needle robot designed to work in tandem with Butterfly's ultrasound probe. The pairing aims to let clinicians perform needle-based procedures with real-time imaging guidance at the point of care. The device combines robotic precision with portable ultrasound, positioning it for use in settings where access to imaging-equipped suites is limited.

A startup backed by investor Mark Cuban has won a ruling freeing it from a patent infringement lawsuit over its robot software, according to Bloomberg Law. The case is part of a broader wave of litigation targeting robotics and automation companies over software patents. The outcome removes a legal threat to the company's core technology as it continues to grow.
- 7Figure AI Retrains Retired Robots to Dive Into Molten Steel▼Figure AI Trains Retired Robots to Dive Into Molten Steel
Robotics company Figure AI says it is training retired robots to dive into molten steel, a role suited to machines rather than humans given the extreme heat and danger of foundry work. The announcement points to a second life for decommissioned humanoid robots in heavy industry, and has drawn attention for both its ambition and its striking imagery.
- 8Robot Dress Packs Market Projected to Grow Through 2035▼Robot Dress Packs Market To 2035: Collaborative Robot Safety Suits Drive Growth - News and Statistics
A new market report projects growth in the robot dress packs market through 2035, driven largely by demand for collaborative robot safety suits. Dress packs protect robot cabling and joints, and their adoption is rising as cobots spread across manufacturing and logistics. Industry analysts point to rising automation investments as the main engine behind the forecast.
- 9Regulators Face New Challenges as AI Enters Surgical Robotics▼Navigating Regulatory Changes When AI Moves from Screen to Surgical Robot
Analysis in the medical device industry examines how regulators must adapt as AI moves beyond software and into surgical robots that physically operate on patients. The piece argues that existing approval frameworks, built for diagnostic tools and imaging, may not be suited to autonomous or semi-autonomous systems whose behaviour can change after deployment, raising questions about oversight, accountability and post-market monitoring.
- 10Humanoid Robots Now Adapt Appearances to Match Job Roles●Humanoid Robots Adapt Appearances to Match Job Roles
Humanoid robots are being developed or deployed with the ability to change their appearance to suit different job roles, according to a report by Chosun Ilbo. The development points to a shift in robotics from single-purpose machines toward adaptable units that can be reconfigured for tasks in service, retail or industrial settings. The report offers few further details, and it is not yet clear which companies or models are involved.
