The FX Aegis quadruped robot can now be sold in the U.S. | Source: Faraday Future Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. last week announced that its FX Aegis quadruped robot has passed all of the required compliance certifications needed for formal sales in the U.S. The company’s other two humanoid robots, Futurist and Master, have already passed compliance certification. The tests, conducted recently by the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Authorization and Certification Division, ensure that Aegis robots are fully compliant with all applicable safety, security, and spectrum standards. Founded in 2014, Faraday Future is a mobility developer that entered the robotics market with three models earlier this year: FF Futurist , FF Master , and FX Aegis . The Los Angeles-based company began sales and deliveries in February 2026 and shipped over 20 robots last month, more than its target number. Faraday Future said it plans to deliver 200 robots for the first delivery seas...

Carter is a fully autonomous robot that can be easily moved around using its handlebars. | Source: Robust AI Most conversations about warehouse automation focus on the technology, but not enough attention is paid to what it takes to make automation actually work in real-world environments. That means dealing with unpredictable environments, legacy systems, and shifting human workflows. At the Robotics Summit & Expo, Anthony Jules, the co-founder and CEO of Robust.AI , will lead the talk “Building Warehouse Robots People Actually Want to Work With.” In this session, Jules will draw on decades of experience in robotics to explore what it really takes to bring automation into complex warehouse environments. The session is 11:30 AM on Thursday, May 28. Jules will share practical insights from the field on what makes or breaks successful implementations, ranging from design decisions that support collaborative robots to the organizational changes required for adoption. Additionally...

Maximo integrates into existing construction workflows and can double the rate of solar panel installation. Source: AES As electricity demand grows, robot fleets must rapidly scale to help meet that need. Maximo last week said it has successfully installed 100 megawatts of utility-scale solar capacity at The AES Corp.’s Bellefield complex in Kern County, Calif. The robotics company was incubated by Arlington, Va.-based AES . Data center expansion and the rising cost of fossil fuels are driving electrification, while the solar industry faces labor constraints, compressed project timelines, and cost volatility, according to Maximo. The startup said its 100 MW achievement marked the transition of robotic module installation from early deployment validation to sustained commercial production. “Solar installation is one of the most repeatable construction tasks, but also physically demanding as panels get bigger,” Deise Yumi Asami , founder of Maximo, told  The Robot Report . “Ac...

To create GEN-1, Generalist said it improved training stability, built custom kernels, invented new forms of paged attention to enable real-time inference, honed post-training techniques, and hardened controls to be even smoother and more precise. | Source: Generalist AI Generalist AI Inc. yesterday announced its GEN-1 general-purpose AI model for robotics. The company said the system improves average success rates to 99% on tasks where previous models achieved 64%. The model also completes tasks roughly three times faster than current approaches, and it requires only one hour of robot data for each of these results, Generalist claimed. Founded in 2024, the company is building embodied foundation models for general-purpose robots. San Mateo, Calif.-based Generalist asserted that GEN-1 “unlocks commercial viability across a broad range of applications.” This latest release came just five months after the company released its GEN-0 model, which it said demonstrated that scaling law...
