TECNO’s Dynamic 1 is allegedly inspired by a German Shepherd.

Chinese technology company TECNO has officially unveiled its artificial intelligence (AI) enabled robotic dog called Dynamic 1. Showcased at the Mobile World Congress on Monday, February 26, in Barcelona, Dynamic 1 is the latest in robotic canines making the news of late.

According to reports on the robot’s capabilities, Dynamic 1 can climb up a flight of stairs thanks to its torque output of 45 Newton meters per kilogram (Nm/kg) and can also bow and “shake hands.”

Butterflies not only share near-identical color patterns but also synchronize their flight behaviors. Explore how these delicate creatures choreograph their movements to create a powerful warning signal against predators.

Elon Musk has shared a new video on X of Tesla’s incredible Optimus robot taking a casual stroll around Tesla’s laboratory. Since being published on Saturday, February 24, the 1-minute and 18-second clip has garnered much attention, with almost 79 million views in a few days (at the time of writing).

The clip shows Optimus in a more complete aesthetic than previously released videos. It also shows how mobile the robot truly is. However, as other commentators have said, Tesla’s Optimus’ progress would have been impressive only a few years ago but lags behind other efforts like those by Boston Dynamics.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially closed its investigation into SpaceX’s 2nd failed Starship flight in November 2023. Launched on November 18, this test flight sadly ended in disaster as the giant rocket exploded shortly after takeoff.

However, the closure of the FAA investigation does not mean that SpaceX has a go-ahead for its planned third test flight later this year. Launched from SpaceX’s Starbase in South Texas, both of Starship’s rocket stages failed at around 3.5 and 8 minutes after launch.
