šŸŒ AI on the Move: From Medellín Bots to Wearable Brains

Robot.com goes global, OpenAI builds a screenless assistant, and Apple’s smart shades hint at the future of wearables.

This week’s AI drops aren’t sci-fi—they’re stepping into the real world.

Robot dogs are on patrol. Smart glasses are talking back. And firefighting bots are aiming high-pressure water at real flames.

Here’s what’s making waves šŸ‘‡

Effortlessly create professional-quality videos with šŸŽžšŸ‘‡šŸ»

🧵 In today's edition:

  1. šŸ¤– Boston Dynamics’ Spot gets an AI brain boost — now patrols like a factory hall monitor.

  2. šŸ•¶ļø Google’s Gemini smart glasses take on Apple Vision Pro in the race for your face.

  3. šŸš’ Firefighting robot dogs are here… but would you trust one to save your life?

 šŸŽ„ NEW VIDEO: Is AI taking over the work spaces in our industries? Watch, like and find out.

1.šŸ”„ Boston Dynamics' Spot gets an AI boost

Spot, the robot dog from Boston Dynamics, just got smarter with the Orbit 5.0 update. It now patrols factories like an AI-powered safety inspector — spotting spills, corrosion, and expired fire extinguishers. Spot can answer questions, compare past inspections, and flag issues before things break.

Smarter patrols, fewer surprises.

2. ā™Šļø Gemini-powered smart glasses race

Google is ramping up its AR game with Android XR glasses powered by Gemini. These AI specs can describe your surroundings, read your book aloud, and chat back in real time.

Backed by partnerships with Samsung, Warby Parker, and Xreal, the lineup includes Project Moohan (a high-end MR headset) and Project Aura (AI-enhanced sunglasses).

As Apple Vision Pro gears up for mainstream release, Google’s squad of AI-infused wearables may be the stealthier, cooler play.

Will Gemini glasses win the face-off?

3. Firefighting robot dogs — flashy, but unproven

Unitree Robotics has unveiled firefighting robot dogs that can shoot water up to 60 meters, climb stairs, stream live video, and swap batteries mid-mission.

They’re engineered to handle smoke, heat, and dust — with a version designed to blow out wildfires using high-speed air.

But while the tech is impressive, real-world deployments remain limited. The question: in a crisis, would you stake your life on a robot dog?
