Russian Robot Faceplants on Stage During Moscow Showcase
Russia's first AI humanoid, AIdol, waddled on stage to the Rocky theme and immediately face-planted, scattering parts as staff wrestled a curtain over the wreckage. The CEO called it 'real-time learning,' which is one way to describe gravity winning.

SkyFall's StarGate Drone Evacuated Two Wounded Soldiers From the Front Line
Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it used the purpose-built StarGate drone to evacuate two seriously wounded soldiers in the space of a week, flying one casualty nearly 20 miles to reach him and about the same distance back. Ground vehicles could not reach the men because of water obstacles and attack-drone threats, and the covered, medical-grade stretcher module kept each casualty protected in flight. The regiment now plans a dedicated aerial medical evacuation unit, turning one-off rescues into a repeatable capability.
