Universal City, Texas, has sent three small robots rolling along its sidewalks this week to scan for conditions that could create barriers for people with disabilities, part of the city's efforts to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

The robots, known as Daxbots and nicknamed Chester, Smokey and Flynn, use sensors to track sidewalk width, slope, cracks and other hazards.

Spain's Council of Ministers approved a royal decree on 1 September 2026 establishing the country's first regulation on the basic conditions of cognitive accessibility.

The measure, promoted by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030, was published in the official state gazette (BOE) on 3 September as Real Decreto 707/2026 and will enter into force on 2 January 2027.

Under the new rules, information and communication in essential areas of life must be easy to understand and offered in accessible formats, including clear language, easy-to-read documents, augmentative and alternative communication systems, pictograms, accessible signage and technological aids, without additional cost or delay for users.

Deque Systems announced that axe-core, its open-source automated accessibility testing engine, now recognizes accessibility semantics declared inside custom elements through ElementInternals.

The support ships starting in axe-core version 4.13.0, and Deque says axe-core is the first automated accessibility testing tool to support ElementInternals in any capacity.

ElementInternals is a custom elements feature that lets a component declare its own accessibility role and state, such as whether it functions as a button, checkbox, or tab, from within its own definition rather than relying on ARIA attributes added externally after the fact.

Back-to-school spending is projected to reach $146.8 billion in 2026, making it the second-largest U.S. consumer spending event of the year, according to the National Retail Federation. Online shopping is the dominant channel, but a new AudioEye analysis of more than 160,000 pages across 6,100 U.S. and European retail websites reveals that digital accessibility barriers persist at scale.

The study found that interior pages average 62 accessibility issues each, while homepages average 56. WebAIM's 2026 Million report, which scans homepages of the top one million sites, found that 95.9% have detectable failures against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the standard referenced in most accessibility laws. Common problems include unclear link text, unlabeled buttons and form fields, low contrast on interactive elements, and missing skip navigation.
