This article is brought to you by VicOne. Robot safety has traditionally asked: Can a machine remain safe when something goes wrong? Physical AI raises a harder question: Can a machine remain safe when an attacker changes what it sees, decides, or does even when nothing appears…

Why is a humanoid robot learning kung fu if its real job is supposed to be in hotels, factories, and warehouses? AGIBOT’s A3 can dodge strikes, perform high-speed spins, and interact with a human martial artist in real time. But behind the spectacular demo is something much more…

On a good day, the rock quarry in central Texas is about 370,000 kilometers (230,000 miles) from the moon. But last February, when Rishi Jangale watched his 1.8-meter-wide, 150-kilogram inflatable robot roll effortlessly over rocks, gravel, and wet clay, his imagination turned t…
