Xpeng showcased its IRON humanoid in Shenzhen, but a brief onstage fall highlighted the hurdles ahead of its planned 2026 rollout.

The event — hosted by the USU Student Organization of Cybersecurity, or SOC, and led by the USU Baddies of Tech Club, or BOT ...

How can an AI robot help improve human space exploration? This is what a recent study presented at the 2025 International Conference on Space Robotics hopes to address as a team of researchers ...

AI makes ISS robot navigation 50–60% faster, marking the first in-orbit demonstration of machine-learning-based motion control. The system handles the station’s cluttered, narrow interior, where ...

The Space Engineers 2 alpha is coming along nicely as fans of the first game ready themselves for the full-blown sequel. This update, Planets & Survival Foundations, introduces fully explorable ...

Even astronauts do grunt work, including routine maintenance and organizing cargo. It’s a waste of precious space time and taxpayer money—it costs about $130,000 an hour to keep astronauts in orbit.

Engineers at UC Davis have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be used, for example, ...

Professor Jeremy Munday has developed an experimental engine that can generate mechanical power from the temperature difference between the Earth and deep space when placed outdoors at night. The ...
