RoboFutur—the media that decodes robots, AI & tech
We decode and verify the technologies shaping tomorrow. Clear analysis of what is genuinely changing.
The Robot News Network
RoboFutur and its six satellites cover global robotics every week: humanoids, home robots, companions, industry, research and defence.

Who walks, who grasps, who works — and what the demonstrations are actually worth.
Agility Robotics says the merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI should raise about $465 million. It would make the company the first US-listed pure-play humanoid maker with commercial...
Mowers, vacuums, window and pool cleaners: what these machines actually do at home.
mBot2 is the better first kit for a guided path from blocks to Python; Bittle X V2 is the deeper choice for quadruped locomotion, mechanics and ROS experiments.
Social robots, animal robots, affective machines: what the human–robot bond actually changes.
Pollen Robotics’ duck-like biped costs $399 and exposes its control and reinforcement-learning stack. It is a developer gadget, not a household helper.
Models, physical AI and fundamental research: the years that actually change things.
Google is pushing Gemini 4 Argon toward robotics, Agility is preparing Digit 5 for industry, and HKUST is giving robot bodies a sense of touch. Here is what is confirmed, claimed and still...
Arms, cobots, warehouses: where robots already produce measurable value.

Drones, ground robots, autonomy and legal frameworks: the essentials, without sensationalism.
On 30 September 2026 Figure AI decommissioned its F.02 fleet in Finland. This is not a recycling puzzle: it is a demonstration of policy transfer to an unseen site.
Informative angle: technology, legal framework and consequences. No ongoing operation is covered.
We separate what exists, what is announced and what still needs measurement.
Scope a project, estimate its full cost or monitor price and availability changes with a transparent method.
