Six-legged robot learns to walk from a stick insect

Do you ever see an ant skittering across your kitchen counter and wonder how this little bug overcame all the obstacles in your home just to get there? Insects use their tiny nervous systems to walk with surprising dexterity—a skill that could be transferred to robots looking to do more productive things than just find breadcrumbs in your kitchen.

From cartwheels to backflips, motion-imitation framework teaches three robots dynamic movements

Legged robots, robotic systems with legs that typically resemble those of animals or humans, could be advantageous for completing tasks in home environments or populated, dynamic spaces. These robots may look like humans or animals, yet they often cannot reliably replicate complex whole-body movements in a short time.

商汤大装置支撑智谱 GLM-5.3-Flash上线，国产异构助力前沿智能进入普惠时代

8月26日晚，智谱正式上线并开源GLM-5.3-Flash(320B-A18B），这是GLM-5系列的首个原生多模态模型。其总参数320B，能力超过GLM-5.2，在全球权威的Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index（AA综合智能指数）中取得57分，进入全球前沿模型能力区间，与Anthropic最受欢迎的模型Claude Opus 4.8得分持平。GLM-5.3-Flash的架构专为极低成本而设计，结合智谱最新的30T Token多模态预训练语料，能够以更少的计算资源实现更强的性能。 依托先进的国产异构混推技术，商汤大装置为GLM-5.3-Flash上线提供大规模国产算力支持与Token服务，打造国产算力规模化商用又一硬核落地标杆。 这一合作的背后，正是商汤打造的 “一套模型、一座 Token（词元）工厂、一套智能体管控系统” 核心能力体系。其中 Token 工厂承担着把智能能力规模化生产出来的关键作用：它通过多模态模型和大装置基础设施的联合优化，把不同芯片、集群、能源和交付节点组织起来，持续生产更高质量、成本更低的Token。同时Token工…

The Next Challenge for AI in Personal Injury Law Is Accountability

Some of AI’s use cases are relatively anodyne; others can generate quite the controversy. And given the technology is relatively nascent, one could argue its widespread adoption in the legal industry falls into the latter category. Concerns about AI's role in legal practice remain widespread, particularly when its outputs influence legal analysis or client outcomes. People are concerned that lawyers are outsourcing their thinking to a machine, and if crucial evidence prepared by a tool may be…

Unitree’s stock slump since IPO stokes fears of a bubble in Chinese humanoid robotics

Shares in Chinese robotics star Unitree Robotics rebounded on Thursday following five straight days of losses that erased nearly half of its market value, although it did little to cool fears of a Chinese humanoid robot bubble. The stock rose nearly 4 per cent to close at 615 yuan on Thursday, giving the company a market capitalisation of 248.8 billion yuan (US$37 billion), after touching a record low of 571 yuan on Wednesday. That low marked a 48 per cent drop from its peak of 1,100 yuan on …

Zhipu AI shares jump as viral Ox Alpha model revealed as GLM-5.3-Flash on Chinese chips

Giant cyborg cockroaches could bring supervised care to people trapped beyond rescuers' reach

"Swarms" of cyborg cockroaches with cameras and miniature medical injectors could deliver supervised emergency care to people trapped in collapsed buildings, caves or other places too dangerous for rescuers to reach. The "Paraborgs" developed by University of Queensland biorobotics researchers, working with biomedical engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), move cyborg insects of the future beyond searching for survivors to actively assisting them. The research is published in …
