Flexiv has unveiled two new adaptive robots, the Enlight robotic arm and Mico dual-arm platform, representing advances in force-controlled robotics and embodied intelligence for industrial automation. The Enlight is a seven-axis robot designed to enhance tactile sensing and physical AI capabilities.
Boston Dynamics unveiled a new four-finger hand for its Atlas humanoid robot, featuring 13 degrees of freedom including a four-DOF opposable thumb and dense tactile pressure sensors. The design was optimized for complex manipulation tasks such as in-hand object reorientation, slip recovery, and tool operation including drills, grinders, and welding torches. The company deliberately chose four fingers over a five-finger human-like hand to reduce cost, size, and failure points while maintaining the dexterity needed for industrial work.
Nvidia has launched Isaac ROS 5.0, introducing AI agent capabilities designed to help developers build, customize and deploy robotics applications faster within the open-source ROS ecosystem. The release, announced at ROSCon in Toronto, adds agentic development workflows and expanded support for Nvidia's Jetson platform and physical AI technologies.
