The most stunning thing you've ever seen a robot do is no longer parkour, it's a robot finding, fetching, and delivering a tool bag to a human worker. This week, Boston Dynamics posted its latest Atlas Robot demonstration video , but this one was different. In previous videos, we've seen the humanoid, bipedal robot, walk, run, dance, climb stairs, and do parkour. We've even seen it perform synchronized dances with a robot dog ( Spot ), but we've never seen anything like this. In the scenario, which features Boston Dynamics' first human actor, a construction worker is building a scaffold until he realized he forgot his tools. Enter Atlas. The now-familiar robot has been equipped with grabbers. In the video, it appears to seek a path to reach the worker, which includes finding a wood plank and making a bridge between the stairs and scaffold. Atlas then locates the tool bag, grabs it, walks up the stairs, across the plank, and, when it's just a level below ...

The ephemerality of virtual and augmented reality was matched by the technologies’ ubiquity at CES 2023 . It honestly felt a little like the mid-1990s when every tech company had an internet strategy. Now, almost everyone has either a way of overlaying images in the real world or immersing you in fantasy ones . The driving force behind this is the hardware, and CES 2023 was packed with it. There was a lot of it on the floor - so many AR glass companies, unafraid to jump into the risky breach that once gobbled up Google Glass. But the real leaders are Meta, Magic Leap, and HTC. While the once-secretive and now newly open Magic Leap was on the show floor at the metaverse space encouraging everyone to whip through a series of enterprise scenarios, Meta and Vive were offering invite-only demos of their latest gear at nearby hotel ballrooms. (Image credit: Future) I started with a Magic Leap visit where I met company CTO Julie Larson Green, a once-retired Microsoft Windows le...

No two real dogs are alike. They differ in temperament, personality, and looks. It's why we love them. Now WowWee thinks it can bring that one-in-a-million appeal to robot dogs. Back when robot toys were a thing, their weirdness and proximity to the uncanny valley was often part of their appeal. Leading the charge was WowWee, which sold a succession of oddball robo characters from Robosapiens to Roboraptor that were all surprisingly weird.  But the robot fad faded, and interests shifted from physical to screen-based fun. Robot toys mostly disappeared and, in their place, arrived blind surprise toys : often eggs you would buy sight-unseen, all for the opportunity of tearing them open to discover a collection of figurines and plush toys. WowWee didn’t sit around watching the demise of robot toys, it shifted to things like the Fingerlings and Avastars . It never forgot about robots but getting back in would require a shift in perspective: it couldn’t be expensive; it couldn’t ...
