Arqam Aslam covers humanoid robotics, AI-driven automation, and real-world deployment of intelligent machines for RoboticsNewsAI. He tracks how robots are leaving the lab and entering factories, hospitals, logistics centers, retail environments, and farms — focusing on what’s actually working in the field, not just what’s in a demo video.His weekly “Robotics News” roundups document major breakthroughs in humanoid mobility, warehouse automation, autonomous navigation, and industrial AI. He closely follows which companies are getting funding, which robots are moving from prototype to production, and how those systems change labor, safety, and cost.In addition to news coverage, Arqam writes deep technical explainers on ROI, privacy, and deployment risk. Recent coverage includes NVIDIA’s GR00T N1 humanoid stack, in-store inventory robots and what data they really collect on shoppers, and the pace of humanoid development headed toward commercial work.Send news tips, product announcements, demo footage, correction requests, or partnership inquiries to:
