Researchers have shown that exotic quantum particles called non-Abelian anyons can perform the full range of operations needed for universal quantum computing. Using 54 qubits on Quantinuum’s H2 processor, they combined braiding and fusion to unlock capabilities that braiding alone could not provide.

For plant teams, the central consideration is straightforward: connectivity should support the robot not only when it is installed, but throughout the years it spends moving, communicating, and producing on the factory floor.

Claire chatted to Aaron Edsinger from Hello Robot about their Stretch robots that can help people with mobility issues live more independently.
