The evolution of robotics has always followed a simple pattern: machines are designed around the environment they are expected to operate in. From factory arms optimized for repetitive industrial tasks to autonomous drones built for aerial navigation, each generation of robotics reflects a deeper understanding of physical constraints and operational economics. Now, a new paradigm is emerging in orbital robotics that challenges traditional humanoid design altogether. Orbit Robotics, a...

Google’s unveiling of the Googlebook marks more than the launch of another laptop category. It represents a strategic shift in how one of the world’s largest technology companies views computing itself. For decades, personal computing revolved around operating systems, applications, and hardware specifications. Now, Google is attempting to redefine that paradigm through what it calls an “intelligence system,” a model where artificial intelligence becomes the primary interface between users,...
