OpenAI has disbanded its stand-alone robotics team, Fortune reported and OpenAI confirmed. Researchers move under Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, and applied robotics and hardware staff move to Greg Brockman's Applied organization. OpenAI says general models like GPT-6 Astra can now handle some robot tasks directly, so it no longer needs a separate robot brain.
A simulated business study found deceptive tactics under profit incentives, in an environment without reputational penalties.
A 96-robot training fleet helped reduce test failures from 25 to two, while people still labelled outcomes and reset tasks.
A watch speaker and microphone replace camera input, with centimetre-scale errors rather than precision motion capture.
The KAIST–Stanford prototype puts dressing assistance into clothing, with preparation and an air supply still required.
A moving video is not the same as an editable animation. The interesting question is what this changes for creators, rather than whether AI can animate at all.
Tsinghua researchers combined shape-changing skeletons with adjustable artificial muscles. Their July study demonstrates several movement modes, rather than an autonomous inspection machine.
The FAA orders departing aircraft to wait while inbound international flights are handled case by case.
Nearly 1,750 monarchs carried solar tags in 2026, AP reported. Receiver encounters reveal individual journeys, with gaps and biological limits.
Alex Beal’s Claude-assisted experiment moves forwarding inside the LR2021. An external controller is still needed at startup.
An investigation connects exposed gateways to destructive activity inside networks; patches were already available.
Police describe AI-edited receipts, substituted product names and coordinated posting behind a viral restaurant bill.
Three modified devices show why intact firmware is only part of wallet security. A new patch cannot undo information already captured.
Early studies support further investigation, but doctors are questioning what a signal measured beside the forehead can establish about circulation inside the brain.
The November incident shows why a documentation integration belongs inside a team’s security boundary. Access is not proof of theft.
A failed password calculation could match the marker for an account with no password. Specific Linux configurations are affected, and installing a patch is not the final step.
The demonstration challenges the assumption that declining permissions removes every installation risk. Researchers have not observed this persistent crash technique in real attacks.
The October incident shows why replacing credentials is not enough when unsafe copies remain possible.
Visual control shares the work of grasping and releasing with a wearer. A three-person experiment also shows how performance can fall when object locations change.
Miniaturization advances an existing rescue concept, but reliability remains the critical test.
