Autonomous robots at work: warehouses yes, homes not yet

Ars Technica gathered leading robotics researchers and founders on how AI is moving robots from simple navigation to independent work. Robots already operate in warehouses and factories, but general-purpose machines for homes remain decades away.

NVIDIA Halos: the first certifiable safety architecture for humanoid robots

NVIDIA unveiled Halos for Robotics — a unified safety system built on IGX Thor hardware and an "Outside-In" architecture designed to let humanoids work alongside humans without physical barriers. Agility Robotics and its next-generation Digit robot are the first adopters.

GUARD Act: US Bill to Ban Chinese Robots Could Cripple AI Research

The bipartisan GUARD Act, introduced June 3, 2026, would block imports of Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots. The problem: the US has no ready hardware alternative for research labs.

The humanoid dilemma: Chinese robots in the US — espionage risk or essential hardware?

Unitree G1 at $13,500 is flooding US labs, but experts warn of data exfiltration risks. The dilemma: China makes the cheapest hardware, the US wants to build the AI brains. The American Security Robotics Act attempts to resolve this.

Physical AI brings new governance demands for autonomous systems

As physical AI systems scale across factories and infrastructure, a critical governance gap is emerging: who defines the boundaries of AI that can issue instructions to machines, and how? The industry is still working out the answers.
