Techman Robot, CSBC and AMET will jointly develop smart welding solutions for the shipbuilding sector. The collaboration aimes at creating robotics systems optimized for shipyard environments, with the goal of improving welding efficiency and precision while supporting broader efforts in industrial automation.

Samsung and Google will integrate Google Cloud’s generative AI technology into Ballie, Samsung’s newly developed home AI companion robot. The announcement was made at Cloud Next ’25 in Las Vegas. Gemini will enable  the robot to support natural, conversational interactions and provide real-time assistance in home environments. Samsung stated that Ballie will be available to consumers in the United States and South Korea starting in the summer of 2025.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced a new robotic mobility concept—Corleo—a four-legged, hydrogen-powered vehicle designed for off-road travel. The prototype was revealed ahead of the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, where Kawasaki plans to showcase future-facing mobility solutions.

At the Zorg & ICT trade fair, taking place this week at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht, various robotic solutions are being showcased to help improve efficiency in healthcare processes. The focus is on both administrative automation and physical support within healthcare institutions.

Serve Robotics has launched its autonomous sidewalk delivery service in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, marking its latest market entry as part of an ongoing partnership with Uber Eats. The expansion is part of Serve’s broader objective to deploy 2,000 AI-powered delivery robots across the United States by the end of 2025.

Robot swarms are heading to the factory floor—specifically, the ones building aircraft and spacecraft. H2 Clipper, Inc. has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,234,035 for its system that uses autonomous and semi-autonomous swarms of robots to handle aerospace and aviation manufacturing. These swarms work together to assemble large structures, install components, run quality checks, and complete high-precision tasks—all without traditional assembly lines. The patent, a continuation of one granted in late 2023, expands the company’s claims to cover full-scale production of aircraft and aerospace systems, using AI and robotics to streamline how these massive vehicles are built.

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has awarded a $17.2 million contract to Outsight for the large-scale deployment of its LiDAR-based monitoring platform. The system, selected through a competitive process involving four proposals and approved by the airport’s Board of Directors, will be used to monitor real-time flows of passengers and vehicles across the airport using LiDAR technology.

Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed what they report to be the world’s smallest wireless flying robot capable of controlled flight. The insect-inspired device, which weighs 21 milligrams and measures less than one centimeter in diameter, is described in a study published March 28 in Science Advances.
