    Wandercraft Unveils Self-Stabilizing Personal Exoskeleton in New York

    Wandercraft held an invitation-only event in New York on December 13 to unveil its self-stabilizing Personal Exoskeleton for everyday personal use. Once approved, it is expected to become the first hands-free walking exoskeleton on the market, helping people with mobility impairments walk without canes at home and in the community. The product is based on the company's Atalante X rehabilitation exoskeleton technology, already used in rehabilitation hospitals in Europe, the US, and Brazil. Experts note that 4-6 hours per week of exoskeleton-assisted walking can improve health.

    Interactive robot "Stargazer" arrives: it can be your personal photographer

    An interactive robot called "Stargazer," developed by a team at the University of Toronto, uses a seven-motor robotic arm to drive a camera and autonomously track its subject, acting as a personal photographer for video creators. It connects to ChatGPT-3 and Microsoft Azure Speech-to-Text speech recognition and can understand instructions such as high-angle shots and tight framing. It is currently used mainly for testing in teachers' instructional video recording. The team's next step is to improve instruction recognition accuracy and extend the technology to drones or wheeled robots.

    Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Roborock G10 Self-Cleaning Robot Vacuum and Mop

    The Roborock G10 self-cleaning robot vacuum and mop combines sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming. For mopping, it uses a high-frequency vibration motor of up to 3,000 rpm and a flat mop pad; the pad can automatically lift more than 5 mm off the floor, and an ultrasonic carpet-recognition sensor lets it vacuum only, without mopping, on carpets. It is also the industry's first robot vacuum and mop with automatic water-tank refilling. Its self-cleaning base washes the mop pad through a "wash, brush, scrape" process, and the company claims a laboratory cleaning rate of up to 90%. The app offers four mop-washing modes: Standard, Smart, Manual, and Manual Dock Return.

    Detailed Look at Hai Robotics' New Practice in Smart Logistics for 3C Manufacturing

    Hai Robotics has launched a smart logistics solution for the 3C industry, achieving full-process logistics automation from raw material outbound, loading and unloading at line-side warehouses, to finished goods inbound, adapting to high-frequency product line changes and tracking production and logistics data in real time. Lu Zhangyuan, director of the Gaogong Robotics Research Institute, noted that automation rates on front- and mid-stage production lines in the 3C industry reach 50-70%, but logistics robot penetration is below 5%; the solution addresses pain points such as the difficulty of manual picking, fine-grained management requirements, and low efficiency of picking verification, completing the automated connection between production and logistics.
