The De Novo decision created a U.S. device category for a robotic surgical system whose four arms are integrated into the operating table for specified upper-abdominal procedures.
Waymo鈥檚 June 2026 update compared rider-only crash rates with human benchmarks across five operating areas, extending an analysis method published in peer-reviewed research.
Figure demonstrated a hierarchical neural controller completing a continuous four-minute kitchen task with whole-body control, tactile sensing and palm cameras.
The electric humanoid moved from a research platform toward a manufactured enterprise product, with initial 2026 fleets committed to Hyundai and Google DeepMind.
A hierarchical imitation-learning system completed the clipping and cutting phase on eight ex vivo pig gallbladders, recovering from errors without human control during the trials.
Amazon moved its tactile manipulation system from pilot work toward beta testing, using six-axis force sensing to work inside crowded fabric storage pods.
A peer-reviewed soft-robotics study revisited liquid-to-gas actuation with flexible heaters, closed-loop control and demonstrations in a robotic hand and quadruped.
Google DeepMind introduced a vision-language-action model for dexterous manipulation and a companion embodied-reasoning model, while keeping access limited to selected testers.
Three carry-on-size lunar rovers completed shipment preparations for a mission designed to test autonomous planning, formation driving and distributed subsurface measurements.
The first major revision since 2011 separates robot-maker duties from system-integration duties and brings collaborative applications, end effectors and safety-related cybersecurity into the core standard.
