Robotics companies have found a new and creative way to get consumers to shell out for a new robot vacuum: equipping them with a robotic arm that can pick up after your lazy ass. Firms showcased a ...

Robot arms do not come for free. The Saros Z70 is a very expensive robovac, and there are performance penalties too; the arm takes up space that could otherwise have been used for a bigger dustbin or ...

A low-cost, simple robotic apple picker arm developed by Washington State University researchers may someday help with fruit ...

After three months of testing Roborock's ambitious Saros Z70, its headline-grabbing robotic arm is still just a proof of concept. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a decade as a reporter, ...

Robot vacuums have come a long way over the years, but I don’t think anyone expected we’d have these machines running around our homes with a robotic arm any time soon. Yet, here we are. The Roborock ...

While the Roborock Saros Z70 didn’t exactly live up to the hype, there’s no denying its robotic arm is still a cool piece of technology. Capable of picking up small objects in its path, moving them to ...

It turns out that Roborock isn’t the only company that brought a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to CES 2025. Rival company Dreame, which unveiled its stair-climbing robot vacuum earlier in the ...

Scientists at UCL, Google DeepMind and Intrinsic have developed a powerful new AI algorithm that enables large sets of robotic arms to work together faster and smarter in busy industrial settings, ...

But if – like me – you'd rather sit back and let a robot do the work, startup NexLawn is developing a robo-mower with a retractable arm capable of performing numerous garden tasks. The concept ...

A robot vacuum with an arm that picks up socks costs thousands now, but Roborock is working on a mass-market version that will cost "just hundreds," its president promises. Ajay has worked in tech ...

Two researchers at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich have harnessed the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4o large language model to teach cheap robot arms to clean up spills. It’s a clever demonstration of how AI ...

What if the future of industrial automation could fit in the palm of your hand? Imagine a robot arm so compact it could rest on your desk, yet so precise it operates with sub-micrometer accuracy, a ...
