A Pittsburgh robotics success story has ended as the national firm that acquired a homegrown company less than two years ago shuts down its local presence. In 2022, Lawrenceville’s RE2 Robotics announced it would be going public via an $100 million acquisition by Salt Lake City-based Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation. The move marked a…
The humanoid robot waved at the crowd, folded its arms toward its chest, and bowed in greeting. Then it stepped sideways to show some motor skills. It’s a prototype of Agility Robotics’ bipedal robot, Digit, which is meant to work in warehouses alongside humans to handle the more tedious and physically taxing duties of handling…
The integration of robotics into construction planning has marked a significant shift in the industry, heralding a new era of enhanced efficiency and innovation. This evolution goes beyond just adopting new tools; it represents a fundamental change in how construction projects are conceptualized and executed. Robotics brings a level of automation and precision previously unattainable,…
Despite incredible advances in modern genomic research, science is nowhere near being able to clone long-extinct animals like the fictional ones in Jurassic Park. Even relatively recent extinctions remain enormously difficult to overcome. An innovative branch of research that joins robotics with paleontology, however, does let scientists bring back long-gone creatures in a different way:…
BABBITT — The Pine River-Backus robotics team hauled their tools, computers, robot and hopes to Babbitt on Friday Oct. 27, for a two-day tournament organized by the Northern Minnesota Robotics Conference, and brought home a first-place trophy. For almost half of the students on the team, this was their first in-person competition in one of…

Embracing the universal language of robotics, a team of students from The Bishop’s School in La Jolla is putting a summer experience in Bordeaux, France, to use in a drive to get back there next year. The team, called Knight Sky as a nod to Bishop’s knight mascot, competed against (and in some cases, alongside)…
Co-founder, Cardinal Robotics—providing products and services that drive robot adoption. getty The robotics industry has seen high failure rates despite rapid growth and innovation. Based on my experiences and recent analyses, there are several key reasons behind the high failure rate of robotics startups, which can be grouped into a number of themes. While many…
