Robotics and robotic developments had a banner year in 2018 ─ domestic, industrial, medical, bio, and toy industries have all made significant advancements in their respective fields with new machines and advanced AI. That's not to say there hasn't been some sad news for this year, as Rethink Robotics of Baxter fame, have shuttered their doors due to poor sales, the same with social robot Jibo, who's company is all but gone, along with Mayfield Robotics' home assistant Kuri.

From home-based assistants to helping save the environment, robots will continue to evolve to take on whatever tasks we assign them. In this roundup, we will take a look at a few new robots and robotic developments that were unveiled over the last year, and what may lie on the horizon.
