The AI revolution keeps delivering exactly the future nobody asked for. A low-skill hacker used Claude Code and Codex to compromise fourteen companies with prompts so vague they could've been written by your uncle trying to reset his AOL password. Ford, meanwhile, spent millions trying to automate engineering before sheepishly rehiring the graybeards who actually know how cars work. Brown University discovered what happens when half your class outsources economics homework to ChatGPT, Meta ran out of AI compute after borrowing Google's, Oracle is warning investors that the AI data-center bubble could implode for approximately every reason imaginable, and contractors hired to improve AI models are secretly using AI to generate the training data. Congratulations, everyone: we've successfully invented photocopying a photocopy until all that's left is gray mush.The collateral damage keeps piling up. Volkswagen is reportedly preparing to slash another 100,000 jobs, Hyundai workers are threatening to strike before Boston Dynamics' humanoid robots take theirs, California has launched an AI layoff tracker because somebody figured we'd better start counting, and the "almost homeless" subreddit is becoming one of the bleakest economic indicators on the internet. Tesla quietly settles another fatal Full Self-Driving lawsuit, Australia discovers teenagers can outsmart age verification by clicking "Yes, I'm 18," Amazon is getting sued Down Under for making ad-free Prime customers pay more to stay ad-free, and prediction markets continue insisting they're sophisticated financial instruments rather than gambling with better branding. Sure, and Beanie Babies were an asset class.Meanwhile, the AI infrastructure gold rush has become lucrative for everyone, including organized cargo thieves stealing millions in data-center equipment. NASA is attempting a robotic rescue mission worthy of a Saturday morning cartoon, astronomers are begging humanity to stop filling the night sky with satellites before we pave over the universe with orbital billboards, and Meta has discovered yet another way to charge people a subscription for hardware they already bought. In Media Candy, Sugar keeps delivering, Bodkin is worth your time, I Will Find You absolutely is not, and Kobo quietly lands one on Amazon by integrating StoryGraph while Kindle owners get AI book summaries they didn't ask for. Sometimes the future feels like science fiction. This week it feels like someone accidentally trained the simulation on late-stage capitalism and never bothered to check the output.Sponsors:StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

For decades, engineers have been trying to create robots that look and move like humans, and now breakthroughs in AI are giving humanoid robots a new ability to acquire skills through learning. At Hyundai's new auto plant near Savannah, Georgia, correspondent Bill Whitaker watches as Boston Dynamics' humanoid, AI-powered robot Atlas learns to perform factory work in a real-world setting for the first time. Marc Lieberman is the producer. For eight years, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp have documented the rooms of children killed in school shootings across the United States. Their bedrooms – virtually untouched as the children left them on the day they were killed – have become memorials to young lives cut short. Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits these spaces and speaks with the parents about their significance. Katie Brennan is the producer. Barcelona's 18-year-old soccer phenom Lamine Yamal has captivated fans with his improvisation and flair. Already, he is considered a generational talent and an heir to the great Lionel Messi. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets Lamine Yamal in his home country of Spain to talk about his rapid ascent as the World Cup kicks off in North America. Draggan Mihailovich and Nathalie Sommer are the producers.

What if the next big wave of AI isn't about robots doing your chores but about robots that understand you?In this episode, we sit down with Colin Angle, co-founder of iRobot and the creator of the Roomba, to explore his bold new venture: Familiar Machines and Magic. After putting over 50 million robots into homes, Angle is now betting on something radically different: a quadruped AI companion designed not for work, but for connection.This isn't a humanoid. It's not a vacuum. It's something entirely new.Powered by on-device multimodal AI, this “familiar” can follow you around your home, learn your routines, encourage healthier habits, and even develop a kind of relationship with you, all while keeping your data private.We dive into:* Why the humanoid robot race might be overhyped* The massive untapped “emotional AI” market* How this robot learns, adapts, and interacts like a pet* Privacy-first AI design (no cloud streaming)* Why form factor matters more than you think* The future of robots in everyday lifeColin also shares why now is the perfect moment for physical AI—and how advances in reinforcement learning and edge computing are making this possible.If you thought AI robots were just about automation, this conversation will change your perspective.⸻
Hyundai placed a big bet on the future of humanoid robotics within its automotive manufacturing operations and it's reportedly starting to get impatient with the results so far. In 2021, Hyundai acquired a majority stake in Boston Dynamics for $1.1 billion in a deal designed to “leverage each other's respective strengths in manufacturing, logistics, construction and automation.” The plan was to create a robotics value chain, from robot component manufacturing to smart logistics solutions while supporting Boston Dynamics' continued product expansion.Last year, Hyundai promised to make a $21 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, a capital layout that would be used in part to purchase "tens of thousands of robots" from Boston Dynamics.But according to a new report from Semafor, the robot maker is still only making about four of its Atlas humanoid robots per month. At that rate, it would take more than 200 years to hit the 10,000 robot goal.#Hyundai, #BostonDynamics, #robotics, #automation, #humanoidrobots, #manufacturing, #AI, #industry40, #factoryautomation, #tesla, #toyota, #futureofwork, #smartfactory, #industrialrobots, #technews, #innovation, #roboticsrace, #supplychain, #advancedmanufacturing, #engineering
Mariana Minerals CEO and cofounder Turner Caldwell is betting that the next big use for AI won't be another chatbot—it'll be a copper mine. His startup, Mariana Minerals, is launching the world's first autonomous mining operation today at its Copper One mine in remote southeast Utah: automated drills do the digging, giant robotic haul trucks move ore for processing, and an AI-enabled platform called MarianaOS will track and direct the entire operation. The company is even using Boston Dynamics' Spot robot dog, packed with sensors, to patrol the 10,000-acre site and inspect conditions. If it works, Mariana could help boost both U.S. copper supply and U.S. copper refining as demand for the metal climbs and the politics around “critical minerals” grows louder. In a few years, the company could be generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from both the Utah copper mine and a separate lithium refining operation it's setting up in Texas, recovering the mineral from wastewater from oil and gas fields.

Editors Gene Demaitre from The Robot Report and Sarah Wynn from Packaging OEM spent the week walking the aisles of MODEX 2026. In this episode, we learn about all of the interesting new products and automation solutions for packaging and warehouse logistics that they discovered this week at the show in Atlanta. MODEX Show Highlights - The Rise of Multi-Agent Orchestration: Discussion on the shift from isolated robotic pods to integrated systems where diverse robot types (AMRs, arms, and sorters) communicate seamlessly. - Humanoid Robots in Logistics: A recap of the buzz surrounding humanoid deployments in warehouses, moving beyond prototypes to real-world pilot tests for trailer unloading and case picking. - Heavy-Duty Automation: Analysis of new autonomous forklifts and reach trucks designed to handle pallet-scale movements in high-traffic distribution centers. - Software Over Hardware: A key takeaway from the show floor was the industry's focus on "orchestration software"—the "brain" that manages fleet interoperability across different manufacturers. Industry News & Strategic Shifts - Skild AI & Fetch Robotics: Analysis of Skild AI's strategic acquisition of Fetch Robotics' assets from Zebra, signaling a move to put advanced AI "brains" into proven industrial "bodies." - Gemini-Powered Spot: Insights into the Boston Dynamics and Google DeepMind partnership, which uses multimodal AI to give the Spot robot advanced semantic understanding and natural language control. ### Listen for a special discount code to save money on your registration to the 2026 Robotics Summit and Expo: https://www.roboticssummit.com/ – SPONSOR – Download the 2026 State of the Robotics Industry Report: https://www.therobotreport.com/state-of-robotics-industry-report-2026/
Our guest on this week's episode is Disney Petit – founder and CEO of LiquiDonate, a company that provides software for companies to donate unwanted returned items. As any retailer can tell you, returns can be the most difficult part of their work. Each return has to be evaluated to decide what to do with it. But what if there is a better idea for handling returns? With Earth Day approaching, we present a great way to find homes for returned items that cannot be resold. Rather than disposing of these items in landfills, LiquiDonate connects retailers and others who process returns with schools and non-profits that can use the items.Our team just returned from the MODEX conference this week in Atlanta where we saw all sorts of material handling systems and automation that will probably be coming to a warehouse nearby soon. Ben Ames reports on getting lots of these systems from a variety of vendors to work together: Walk into any distribution center and you'll see products from several different vendors running at the same time on the warehouse floor, not to mention all the different brands of software controlling them that you can't even see. So how do you make them all behave well together and work toward a single goal?Many things also caught the eye of Victoria Kickham at MODEX 2026 this week. She chose a couple of things to highlight. The first was the launch of an autonomous warehouse fulfillment system from Locus Robotics. The company debuted its Locus Array system, which is an autonomous, in-aisle picking solution that combines mobile robotics, an integrated robotic picking arm, and AI-powered perception to complete picking and fulfilment tasks without manual intervention. She also talked with robotics company Boston Dynamics about the long-term potential of humanoid robots in the warehouse.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:LiquiDonateLocus Robotics launches fully autonomous fulfillment systemRoboteon tool simulates impact of robotics automation on specific DCSFanuc robot arms combine AI and computer vision to adopt flexible workflowsVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Xchange's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Lucas McKenna, Director of Europe at Point One Navigation, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of robotics and autonomous systems. They cover topics including the SLAM algorithm and how robots map and position themselves in the world, the role of GPS and sensor fusion in precise localization, swarm robotics and the debate between centralized and decentralized robot intelligence, the differences between urban and rural robotics applications, specialized versus general-purpose robots, the business models around robot ownership and rental, and how autonomous mobility is taking shape differently in Europe versus the United States. They also touch on the cultural implications of robots becoming a fixture in everyday life and what it might mean for human community and connection.Show Notes- Lucas McKenna on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-mckenna-79269053/- Point One Navigation: https://pointonenav.comTimestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Luca McKenna from Point One Navigation, diving into robotics and the SLAM algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping.05:00 - Luca explains swarm robotics, where multiple robots share environmental data, building collective maps that improve positioning accuracy over time.10:00 - Discussion shifts to urban versus rural robot deployment, covering drone delivery limitations, obstacle avoidance challenges, and skyscraper navigation complexity.15:00 - Luca distinguishes specialized versus general-purpose robots, predicting purpose-built machines like seed planters and window washers will dominate near-term deployment.20:00 - Stewart raises unstructured visual data challenges, drawing parallels to AI text processing, while Luca details GPS infrastructure layers enabling precise robot positioning.25:00 - Consumer robot visibility discussed, including Waymo expansion, autonomous delivery robots, and geographic limitations of current self-driving services.30:00 - Robot ownership versus rental models explored, touching on rare earth mineral costs, Chinese supply chains, and economic barriers to personal robot ownership.35:00 - Luca explains state estimation systems using GPS satellites, accelerometers, and gyroscopes working together, contrasting fundamental mathematics against machine learning approaches.40:00 - Sensor fusion parallels between smartphones and autonomous vehicles revealed, explaining how phones mirror car navigation systems at reduced accuracy and cost.45:00 - Conversation concludes examining robots impact on community culture, with Luca advocating autonomous public transit over individualist robotaxis to strengthen human connection.Key Insights1. SLAM is foundational to robot navigation. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) allows robots to map their environment and position themselves within it using computer vision and LiDAR sensors. Unlike humans, who instinctively understand their surroundings, robots require precise algorithmic systems to avoid obstacles and navigate safely.2. GPS and sensor fusion solve the positioning problem. Robots combine absolute sensors like GPS with relative sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes to maintain accurate positioning. In challenging environments like tunnels or dense cities, these sensors compensate for each other, ensuring continuous and reliable location data.3. Swarm robotics enables collective environmental intelligence. When one robot maps a new area, that data becomes available to all connected robots. This decentralized-yet-centralized model means the entire fleet benefits from each individual robot's experience, continuously improving map quality and navigation precision.4. Specialized robots will dominate before general-purpose ones. Rather than multipurpose humanoid robots, the near-term future favors robots designed for single tasks—delivering food, planting seeds, or drawing lane lines—because the economics and technical bar are far more achievable than building versatile machines.5. Urban, suburban, and rural environments demand different robotic solutions. Open skies in rural areas make GPS-based drones effective, while dense cities require complex sensor stacks. European approaches favor autonomous public transit, while American models lean toward individual robotaxi services.6. Robots will largely be rented as services, not owned. The high cost of hardware, rare earth minerals, and the extensive data required for safe operation makes personal robot ownership impractical for most consumers. Business models will resemble subscription or usage-based services.7. Fundamental mathematics still outperforms machine learning for positioning. Despite AI advances, state estimation systems rely on proven mathematical formulas rather than transformer-based models, which currently underperform classical methods in 3D reconstruction and precise localization tasks.

Big news: Lock and Code is nominated for a Webby Award! You can help us win the People's Voice Award by voting here.---We have to talk about killer robots. No, not the Terminator, and not some Boston Dynamics robot run amok. We have to talk instead about a technological reality that is very much already here.In late February, the artificial intelligence developer Anthropic made a perhaps surprising statement for those who are only familiar with its helpful chatbot tool Claude: The company would not allow the government to use its technology to kill people without proper safety controls.Hold on… what?Despite Anthropic's reputation amongst most everyday people as the creator of a collaborative AI-powered assistant for coding, writing, and searching, the company had already deployed Claude across the US government for strategic military needs. According to Anthropic, Claude was used by the US Department of Defense and other national security agencies for “mission-critical applications, such as intelligence analysis, modeling and simulation, operational planning, cyber operations, and more.”But behind the scenes, the US government was asking for even more applications, and it wrapped all of its requests under a broad, vague term: “Any lawful use.” Anthropic bristled at the government's request, defining two use-cases that were simply off limits: Mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons—or, put another way, the powering of independent killer robots.As Anthropic said in its statement:“Frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America's warfighters and civilians at risk. We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems, but they have not accepted this offer. In addition, without proper oversight, fully autonomous weapons cannot be relied upon to exercise the critical judgment that our highly trained, professional troops exhibit every day. They need to be deployed with proper guardrails, which don't exist today.”Sure, the guardrails may not exist today, but do they—can they—exist at all?Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Peter Asaro, chair of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, about what a killer robot actually is, how close we are to seeing them deployed, and what some of the hidden consequences are to rolling out impossibly-quick, decision-making technology into a landscape where deescalation requires time, space, and human judgment.”This mass proliferation of targets, it just accelerates the speed of destruction and the intensity of destruction of warfare, and it doesn't necessarily give you any kind of military or political advantage.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.
My guest today is Sergey Levine, a professor at UC Berkeley and co-founder of Physical Intelligence. The company is building robotic foundation models designed to control any embodied system to do any task in any environment. Sergey argues that solving robotics at full generality is the right path, and that building systems that learn across many robots, environments, and tasks may be the more scalable approach than building narrow specialists. We discuss how these models can perform new tasks without being trained on them directly, and why everyday human actions remain the hardest problems in the field. He also reflects on how human trust and acceptance may matter as much as technical breakthroughs in determining when robots become part of daily life. Please enjoy my conversation with Sergey Levine.

Humanoid robots can run, crawl, and sort objects in flashy demos. So why can't they reliably climb stairs or open doors? On this episode of The Quanta Podcast, host Samir Patel speaks with contributing writer John Pavlus on why robots still struggle with the messy physics of the real world. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math. In this video, Atlas walks, runs and crawls using reinforcement learning. This work was done as part of a research partnership between Boston Dynamics and the Robots and AI (RAI) Institute: https://youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w?si=KuKC34o_PiKs8zJP
The pilot program at a Shanghai McDonald's, where Keenon Robotics deployed XMAN-F1 units to greet diners and deliver meals, signaling a move toward automated hospitality. Beyond food service, the texts detail how companies like Boston Dynamics and Headform are perfecting lifelike movement and emotional intelligence to enhance human-robot social interactions. The reporting also compares these highly specialized social robots with versatile industrial models designed by firms like Tesla and Figure AI for heavy labor. Collectively, the materials suggest that integrated AI and mass production are beginning to address labor shortages while making robotic companionship a tangible part of everyday life. Future developments point toward a dual-path industry where some robots manage physical tasks while others focus on emotional connection and customer engagement.
The hosts of Project Synapse discuss how people and companies often claim to value privacy, security, and human-made content while behaving otherwise, then cover major AI news including the US Department of Defense labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk tied to its positions on autonomous weapons and surveillance, and the fallout including the QuitGPT boycott claims and criticism of Sam Altman's response. They examine Claude 4.6 with Cowork and ChatGPT 5.4, emphasizing deeper Office/Gmail integration, larger context windows, and data analytics that could transform corporate data work and accelerate job replacement, while token costs rise and stolen API keys create urgent financial risk. They also warn about the "death of privacy" via profiling and potential anti-anonymity laws, and explore robotics trends, costs, factory adoption, healthcare use cases, and growing investment in humanoid robots from firms like Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Unitree.
