Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot, has introduced a research preview of its "Model Hardware Standard" (MHS). This framework enables artificial intelligence agents to control physical devices. Its intended applications include scientific research and advanced manufacturing, marking a new phase in automated system functionality.

Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology have engineered a novel robot, designated BeanBot, drawing inspiration from the unpredictable motion of Mexican jumping beans. This device operates without traditional motors, batteries, electronics, or onboard computing. Its movement depends solely on its interaction with its immediate environment, allowing it to hop, roll, flip, or slide in unpredictable ways. This represents a different approach to robotic locomotion.

Xiaomi has publicly introduced three artificial intelligence chips designed for device integration. The company presented these at its Xuanjie briefing. However, Xiaomi has not yet provided a definitive explanation for what constitutes an artificial intelligence phone.
