Soft exosuit makes it easier to stand up

Getting up from a chair is something most of us don't think about. The movement is almost second nature: Our legs and hips work together in a precise sequence. But performing this task can be difficult for older people, often because of declining strength and reduced coordination in the hip and leg muscles. If a robot-assisted suit is going to support part of that effort, it must respond intuitively and in sync with the body's movements.

Honda Reaffirms Momenta Cooperation, China's Autonomous Driving Expands Globally

Honda's intelligent driving cooperation with Momenta, announced previously, has drawn renewed attention at recent media briefings. Beyond reaffirming adoption of Momenta's high-end autonomous driving solution, Honda provided a specific production timeline, stating that the relevant technology will be gradually introduced starting with vehicle models launched in 2027. The cooperation plan jointly disclosed previously covers highway NOA, urban NOA, and parking scenarios. Notably, among Honda's Chinese technology partners showcased this time, Momenta is the only high-end autonomous driving supplier selected, with Huawei providing only intelligent cabin capabilities. According to media statistics, Honda's global vehicle sales exceeded 3.5 million units in 2025, ranking ninth globally. For Momenta, the value of cooperating with Honda extends beyond Chinese market production projects; it lies in establishing a foundation for expanding more vehicle models and markets through a leading global automaker's supply chain. Technical evolution provides more possibilities for deepening cooperation. Momenta's R7 world model enhances prediction and planning capabilities in complex scenarios by understanding object attributes, motion laws, and interaction relationships between traffic participants. This technological direction is expected to support adaptation to different countries' road environments and exploration of higher levels of autonomous driving. Starting from Chinese market cooperation, the development, adaptation, and mass production experience accumulated by both parties is expected to extend in the future to more of Honda's global vehicle models and create conditions for exploring cooperation on the transition from L2 high-end assisted driving to L3 conditional autonomous driving. Honda's renewed emphasis on cooperation with Momenta also...

Three Arrows Strike! Sharpa's Three New Products Make Global Debut at IROS; Trinity Configuration Redefines Fine Manipulation Limits Again

Pittsburgh, USA, September 28 — At the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in Pittsburgh, Sharpa officially launched three flagship fully self-developed products: the D01, the first integrated tactile-sensing dexterous manipulation robot; the W02, a next-generation fully tactile ultra-compact and lightweight dexterous hand; and the AE01, a high-fidelity exoskeleton haptic data glove. The three products respectively target whole-body motion execution, hand-level fine manipulation, and high-quality operational data collection, covering three key aspects of robotics: how robots move, how they contact and manipulate objects, and how they leverage natural human motion for teleoperation and data acquisition. Together they provide a complete hardware loop for complex contact-rich manipulation in real environments. From the robot body, end-effectors, to data collection devices connecting humans and robots, the three fully self-developed products point toward a single goal: further enhancing robot speed, precision, and tactile perception capabilities in completing complex manipulation tasks. The simultaneous launch of D01, W02, and AE01 marks Sharpa's integration of a high-performance body equipped with full-body electronic skin, a fully tactile dexterous hand, and a high-precision data collection system into one complete ecosystem, extending from motion execution and fine control to data acquisition. In this three-in-one approach, Sharpa pushes the performance boundaries and task complexity of robot dexterous manipulation to new heights. Stronger, Faster, More Precise: D01, a General-Purpose Humanoid Robot Designed for Dexterous Manipulation. As Sharpa's first integrated tactile-sensing dexterous manipulation robot, the D01 was designed from the outset around dexterous [text cut off]...

Imagination E Series Performance Debut: Doubling Resolution with AI in Just 2.3 Milliseconds, Prefill Performance Improved 4.7x

Author | Chen Yuelin Editor | Bao Yonggang. Increasingly heavy AI computation is being introduced to edge devices. Running local large models and agents while processing vision, speech, and multiple sensor data—these new workloads that consumer electronics, automobiles, robots, and other intelligent terminals are beginning to handle all ultimately must be executed by the underlying SoC. Either introduce new dedicated AI accelerators or extend the responsibilities of existing modules within the system—Imagination Technologies has walked both paths around how AI capabilities integrate into SoCs. During the period when CNNs dominated large-scale on-device vision AI tasks, this company with over thirty years of deep GPU IP expertise both attempted to involve GPUs in AI computation and launched independent neural network accelerators. However, as models, operators, and software ecosystems continue to evolve, Imagination began to realize the overwhelming burden specialized hardware places on model adaptation and software maintenance, gradually shifting its AI strategy focus back to more general-purpose GPUs. Recently at Imagination GPU IP's latest E-series product showcase, Imagination Chief Revenue Officer Jake Kochnowicz again emphasized that in real deployment, software may actually become a larger cost factor than hardware. Based on GPU's programmable architecture and existing software ecosystem, the E-Series targeting high-performance applications strengthens matrix multiplication and low precision...
