Robots are the absolute future we have.

At Mary Washington Hospital, WIRED found a cleaner robotics story than spectacle: a mobile assistant taking routine delivery runs so nurses can stay closer to patients.

WIRED's field report from California shows a simple but powerful robotics story: workers and machines sharing the harvest instead of standing on opposite sides of it.

A Norwegian sea-lice story shows robots doing what humans cannot do at scale: watching thousands of fish and targeting tiny parasites before an outbreak spreads.

The collaborative robot prototype is a useful industrial case study because the goal is specific: help maintenance technicians with the awkward parts of repair work.

Energy infrastructure makes a simple case for automation: let people supervise the risk instead of climbing, flying, and walking directly into it.
