A 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist has been developed by scientists.The robot can pick out simple tunes a note at a time but is no virtuoso.But the development could one day pave the way for more dextrous limbs which could perform surgery or handle delicate objects.It demonstrates just how challenging it is to replicate all the abilities of a human hand, and how much complex movement can still be achieved through design.The hand plays the musical phrases by just moving its wrist. It was made by 3D printing soft and rigid materials together to replicate of all the bones and ligaments in a human hand, but not the muscles or tendons. The researchers from Cambridge University on the UK, found that a surprisingly wide range of movement was still possible by relying on the hand's mechanical design.

Pictures MUST credit: LimX Dynamics
A company is developing robots to power dinosaurs for tourist parks.
The bots feature artificial intelligence which means the animals can talk to visitors and help them learn all about the creatures that once walked the Earth.
China-based LimX Dynamics has shown off a two legged machine called TRON1 that can easily have different dinosaur species models slipped over it.
It has been displayed in a highly detailed Tyrannosaurus rex body although on a much smaller scale than the real thing.
A spokesman said the TRON1 has the stability to manage changes in weight and direction without falling.
They added: “The idea was to create a mobile interactive display for cultural tourism.
“ Museums and parks can use the robot to draw new visitors who want to see a dinosaur up close. “
The firm describes the concept as a way to place extinct animals in modern settings so that visitors can learn while walking
beside them.

See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: Sachi Wickramasinghe / University of British Columbia
A robot that demonstrates how the brain keeps humans balanced on two legs has been built to help reduce the risk of falling for millions of people.
The so-called ‘body-swap’ is said to give scientists an unprecedented look at a skill taken for granted until affected by age or disease.
Standing upright is one of the brain’s most complex jobs.
Every second it coordinates signals from the eyes, inner ears and feet to assess, predict and correct movements against gravity.
Even in healthy adults, balance signals don’t arrive instantly. There’s a natural lag as information travels to the brain and back to muscles.
Aging or conditions like diabetic neuropathy and multiple sclerosis can worsen these delays, making falls more likely.
But robotic platform, built by Canada’s University of British Columbia,
Is able to mimic various conditions to change how a body feels.
The findings after using the robot in experiments on volunteers suggests giving the body a small mechanical boost makes balance easier for the brain.
It could lead wearables that add gentle resistance when someone starts to sway or robotic trainers that teach patients to adapt to slower feedback.
OPS: Close-up of the robotic balance simulator’s foot plates, which measure forces applied by the participant to track balance control.

Robot Chemist - China
Robot Xiaolai performs an experiment at the state key laboratory of precision and intelligent chemistry of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, November 24, 2025. Traditional chemical research has long relied on continuous trial and error by scientists. With the development of artificial intelligence and robotic automation technologies, it has become possible to design experiments and issue instructions through intelligent platforms, using robots to replace human labor in experiential operations, which enhances experimental efficiency and precision. In 2021, after eight years of dedicated effort by a research team from USTC, Xiaolai, the first-generation "robot chemist," was successfully developed. After several years of iterations, the second-generation dual-armed humanoid robot Xiaolin has been put into operation, capable of performing more complex tasks. It has evolved from a substitute of human labor to a "research partner." According to Zhu Zhuoying, a professor from the state key laboratory of precision and intelligent chemistry at USTC, the team's ultimate goal is to enable robots to achieve fully autonomous scientific research. In the future, they might identify entirely new research directions by "reading" literature themselves and achieve breakthroughs in areas beyond human exploration.

Picture MUST credit: MagicLab
An agile humanoid robot has demonstrated its autonomous reflexes — by dodging a rubber topped arrow fired at it from just a few metres away.
has released a new YouTube video showcasing the latest development of its humanoid,
The MagicBot Z1 was also shown performing a backflip and doing martial arts kicks.
The Z1, by Chinese robotics company MagicLab , is 140cm tall and weighs 40 kgs.
It is designed for industrial, commercial, and companion applications.
Its body boasts 50 degrees of freedom with high-torque smart joints.
It is equipped with a comprehensive sensor array, including 3D LiDAR, obstacle detection, depth cameras, and binocular fisheye vision.
In a demonstration, an employee fires the arrow at the bot which spins and dodges the toy-like arrow with a side flip before landing elegantly back on its feet.
With voice interaction, refined gesture-based emotional recognition, and optional 11-DOF dexterous hands, the Z1 is claimed to deliver highly natural human-robot interaction and precise manipulation across a wide range of environments.
The robot can carry up to 3kg on each arm and has already been deployed as part of their testing and development to handle tasks like inspection, material handling, picking, placing, scanning, and warehousing.
There are no details yet on when they will be available for sale or pricing.
