The body of the robotic fingers is built from polyglycerol sebacate, a synthetic elastomer made from glycerol and sebacic acid. Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production while sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, and both of them are plant-based. Polyglycerol sebacate is safe since it is already used in medical implants because the body can absorb it without a toxic response.

Our customers, ranging from large enterprises to AI research labs, are no longer just asking for AI features. They need a way to collect high-fidelity, synchronized robot and vision data to train AI models on the same robots they intend to deploy. Our AI Trainer is the industry's first direct lab-to-factory solution for AI model training.

At about 18 kilograms, roughly 40 pounds with its battery included, the As2 is compact enough to move through tight spaces, yet built to handle a standing payload of up to 65 kilograms. That's more than 143 pounds sitting on top of a 40-pound robot, which is genuinely impressive and a little hard to picture until you actually see it in action.

Virtual Cram School Wish High is a new online school by Tokyo-based company Luminaris. According to the publication, all teachers are "active VTubers," meaning streamers who use digital avatars to represent themselves instead of showing their real faces. Tuition at the online academy is the equivalent of around $63 per course per month, on subjects including mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, world history, Japanese history, and geography.

Its name is Atlas, an all-electric humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics, the Massachusetts-based company and maker of the four-legged inspection robot, Spot, and the mobile warehouse robot, Stretch. Hyundai, which owns Boston Dynamics, unveiled the latest version of Atlas at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 5. During live demonstrations, Atlas was seen waving hello to its audience before moving car parts from one rack to another.

RealHaptics is an advanced force feedback system that transmits, records and reproduces the tactile sensation of touch in real time, allowing remote operators to feel the resistance, softness or texture of objects handled by a robotic device.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM) is expanding production of advanced AI semiconductors to Japan, marking a significant geographic diversification for the world's leading chipmaker. The move addresses surging demand for cutting-edge chips while reducing geopolitical risk tied to Taiwan-based manufacturing. The expansion comes as TSMC reported Q4 2025 revenue of $33.73 billion, up 20.5% year-over-year, with net income climbing 35% to $15.2 billion.
