Robotics Highlights
Tele‑operated robots learn on the job at Tutor Intelligence
Tutor Intelligence’s “Cassie” robot is being trained via tele‑operation, where skilled workers remotely guide robots through novel tasks and the interactions are recorded to teach the robot’s AI. The company is moving from simple pallet‑handling to more complex pick‑and‑place operations that demand precise vision and gripper control, a long‑standing challenge in the field. This approach could accelerate the deployment of autonomous warehouse robots while reducing the need for extensive manual programming.

Sub‑millimeter, solar‑powered swarm robots hit a milestone
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have unveiled sub‑millimeter robots—the size of a grain of salt—that operate autonomously using onboard solar cells. Each unit costs roughly a penny to produce, opening possibilities for large‑scale nanotechnology manufacturing and medical diagnostics. The breakthrough tackles a 40‑year‑old robotics bottleneck by demonstrating viable power and control at scales previously thought impossible.
