Robots get smooth moves
Life, James Hein, Published on 25/03/2026
» The subject of the week is robots. The amount of news on these keeps growing and growing. South Korea is first up here with their KAIST Humanoid. In the field test, the robot was shown running across a soccer pitch, jumping, taking shots on goal, and even doing dance moves akin to the Michael Jackson moonwalk. Many robot demonstrations still look a bit stiff but these moves were quite smooth. The robot can run at about 12kph on flat ground with the next goal at 14kph. It can climb a ladder with 40cm steps and the knees can generate 320 Newton metres of peak torque so it can push heavier objects. The current model is based on the lower human half but the goal is for a full humanoid form that can work with people in industrial environments.

Shopping malls as Bangkok's cultural thermometer
BitesizeBKK, Published on 19/02/2026
» Bangkok’s shopping malls serve as a cultural litmus test. Step out of your TikTok and Instagram feed for a quick minute, and take a walk around the multi-leveled floors of Emquartier, take the escalators up and down Dusit Central Park, and a peek at the ground floor of Siam Paragon and it’ll be a very telling test of which brands are working, what’s attracting queues and who’s on their way out.
