Researchers at Peking University have developed an octopus-inspired underwater gripper that transitions between soft and rigid states in 1.3 seconds — 10x faster than existing shape memory polymer systems. The OUT-Robot uses electrically heated PLA arms that grip fragile or irregular objects when so...

Security researcher Andreas Makris discovered critical vulnerabilities in Yarbo's modular robotic lawnmowers and snow blowers that allow remote takeover, emergency stop bypass, and extraction of owner data including Wi-Fi passwords and GPS coordinates. All 11,000+ deployed devices share a hardcoded ...

Physical Intelligence has developed RL tokens (RLT), a reinforcement learning method that allows vision-language-action models to refine precise manipulation skills using just 15 minutes of real-world robot experience. The technique adds a compressed "RL token" output to the base model, enabling a l...

Security researchers have disclosed CVE-2026-1442, a critical vulnerability in Unitree's firmware update system that uses hard-coded encryption keys. The flaw allows anyone with physical or remote access to create and deploy malicious firmware packages that Unitree robots — including models deployed...

Security researcher Elise Amber Katze disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in NVIDIA's Tegra X2 SoC, including an unpatchable BootROM exploit affecting Tesla Autopilot 2 and 2.5 hardware. The research, presented at 39C3, demonstrates complete secure boot chain bypass via USB recovery mode. Since the v...
