Tesla will tentatively begin offering public rides in driverless robotaxis in Austin, Texas on 22 June, according to Elon Musk, marking the long-delayed debut of a service he first promised back in 2019.

UK parcel delivery firm, Evri, has teamed up with a US robotics company to test four-legged autonomous deliveries in real neighbourhoods, starting in Barnsley.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have reported making a two-legged “biohybrid robot” after combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which can walk and pivot underwater.
