Picture MUST credit: SwitchBot
A robotic teddy bear equipped with artificial intelligence that talks to people, displays emotions, and ‘grows’ with its users has been developed as a household pet.
The wheeled device can sit in houses, converse with people, and assist users with their tasks and questions.
It has two AI systems: the first one works within the robot, which processes the language while the other works from internet servers.
It has cameras as eyes, microphones as ears, and speakers as a mouth.
The pet has been created by China-based home AI tech firm SwitchBoot which has made its name with robot vacuum cleaners and even a robotic tennis coach system.
So far the device has not been given a form name as is known simply as AI Pet.
It can be dressed up in a range of outfits
It shows emotions through its eyes and when it speaks.
The face can change colour and make different expressions such as happiness, sadness, loneliness, hunger, and even jealousy.
Each emotion has its own facial pattern and voice sound, as well as body movement.
The robot has cameras in the face to see its surroundings, and the installed AI system identifies what they see, as well as tracks motion.
AI Pet is said to be able to understand words and create voice responses.
The team says it comes with a ‘synthetic’ voice to make the users feel as if they were just talking to a human.

Robo sperm could boost fertility studies

Robotic sperm 1
Ref 17123
04/09/2025
See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit:University of Twente/npj Robotics (2025)
A team of researchers has transformed real sperm cells into tiny, magnetically controlled micro-robots to help improve fertility.
This development could open new doors in reproductive medicine, drug delivery, and infertility diagnostics.
The bots can be tracked in real time using X-ray imaging.
Sperm cells are naturally fast, flexible swimmers that can navigate the complex environment of the female reproductive tract making them promising candidates for use in medical micro-robotics.
Sperm cells are nearly impossible to see inside the human body using traditional imaging methods like X-ray.
They’re small, low-density, and nearly transparent to radiation.
Researchers and medical professionals from University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Center both in the Netherlands and Canada’s University of Waterloo coated real sperm cells with magnetic nanoparticles.
This made them visible under X-ray and responsive to external magnetic fields. For the first time, these sperm-based micro-robots can now be tracked and steered inside a life-sized anatomical model.
Once inside, they can potentially deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places such as the uterus or fallopian tubes.

Farmbots, flavour pills and zero-gravity beer: inside the mission to grow food in space
Astronauts content themselves with freeze-dried gruel, but plans for crewed missions to Mars mean scientists need to create more delicious, nutritious menus.
Three robots are growing vegetables on the roof of the University of Melbourne's student pavilion. The greens themselves look fairly terrestrial - cos lettuce, basil, coriander and moth-eaten kale - but they are actually prototypes for a groundbreaking research mission to grow fresh food in outer space.

Robot arms for keyhole surgery touted as future of NHS. But at £1.5 million, the Da Vinci surgical robot doesn't come cheap.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay tried out robot technology used for keyhole surgery in London's Charing Cross Hospital.
More robots are to be rolled out across the NHS after the success of pioneering technology in London.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay is keen to promote technology to improve treatment and recovery times for patients undergoing keyhole and other surgery.
, Steve Barclay, visited Charing Cross hospital to tour its facilities and see the innovative care and developments in stroke and robotics being carried out by staff to diagnose and treat patients more quickly.
Picture L to R: Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay and Conservative MP for Chelsea and Fulham, Greg Hands are shown the Da Vinci surgical robot.
He also spoke with staff about its Da Vinci surgical robot which offers keyhole surgery to patients suffering from urological and throat cancers. It allows surgeons to perform more minimally invasive procedures, leading to speedier recovery and an earlier discharge from hospital for many patients.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay tried out robot technology used for keyhole surgery in London's Charing Cross Hospital.
More robots are to be rolled out across the NHS after the success of pioneering technology in London.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay is keen to promote technology to improve treatment and recovery times for patients undergoing keyhole and other surgery.
, Steve Barclay, visited Charing Cross hospital to tour its facilities and see the innovative care and developments in stroke and robotics being carried out by staff to diagnose and treat patients more quickly.
He also spoke with staff about its Da Vinci surgical robot which offers keyhole surgery to patients suffering from urological and throat cancers. It allows surgeons to perform more minimally invasive procedures, leading to speedier recovery and an earlier discharge from hospital for many patients.

'It's almost magical': how robotic pets are helping UK care home residents
Animatronic cats and dogs have helped staff at a Bedfordshire care home to avoid medicating some residents with dementia.
The cats, which purr and miaow, seemed more popular than the dogs, which bark along if spoken to. To complete the scene, a pair of plastic song birds twittered away as Sheila Brinkley, another resident, pursed her lips and whistled happily into their beaks.
The residents didn't appear to believe they were real animals, but neither did they consider them silly toys. While some ignored them, many instinctively engaged with their moving features, wagging tails and "bark back" and "vibrapurr" technologies.
An eight-month trial of similar pets in eight Cornish care homes last year found positive effects, although things didn't always end well for the pets. One was found with broken limbs (cause unknown), another was dropped in urine and a handful malfunctioned. And a quarter of residents didn’t interact with them at all.
The effect of the £100 animals on residents with dementia, especially when they are distressed, was "almost magical", said Lydia Endersby, Oak Manor’s activities coordinator. They have become another tool to help the care workers avoid medicating residents who are struggling.

The cats, which purr and miaow, seemed more popular than the dogs, which bark along if spoken to. To complete the scene, a pair of plastic song birds twittered away as Sheila Brinkley, another resident, pursed her lips and whistled happily into their beaks.
The residents didn't appear to believe they were real animals, but neither did they consider them silly toys. While some ignored them, many instinctively engaged with their moving features, wagging tails and "bark back" and "vibrapurr" technologies.
An eight-month trial of similar pets in eight Cornish care homes last year found positive effects, although things didn't always end well for the pets. One was found with broken limbs (cause unknown), another was dropped in urine and a handful malfunctioned. And a quarter of residents didn’t interact with them at all.
The effect of the £100 animals on residents with dementia, especially when they are distressed, was "almost magical", said Lydia Endersby, Oak Manor’s activities coordinator. They have become another tool to help the care workers avoid medicating residents who are struggling.

'It's almost magical': how robotic pets are helping UK care home residents
Animatronic cats and dogs have helped staff at a Bedfordshire care home to avoid medicating some residents with dementia.
