The black and white high-tech contraption made its debut earlier this week as one of a handful of robots designed to streamline the Tokyo Olympic Games. And it can be seen again — essentially playing fetch — during the track and field throwing events over the weekend.
In Hawaii, robot dogs join the police force
HONOLULU — If you're homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii's capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don't have a fever.

From individual robots to robot societies | Science Robotics
Most of today's robots operate in isolation.
Robotic and biological individuals, however, have limited energetic autonomy, strength, perception, and decision-making abilities when taken on their own.
Computer scientists have taken inspiration from principles of biological self-organization among interacting agents with limited capabilities, loosely labeled as swarms, to devise distributed and adaptive algorithms capable of solving complex, noisy, and changing computational problems ( 2 ).

Building Robots That Can Go Where We Go - IEEE Spectrum
Robots have walked on legs for decades. Today's most advanced humanoid robots can tramp along flat and inclined surfaces, climb up and down stairs, and slog through rough terrain. Some can even jump.
Existing walking robots hog power and spend too much time in the shop. All too often, they fail, they fall , and they break. For the robotic helpers we've long dreamed of to become a reality, these machines will have to learn to walk as we do.
