Get pleasure from right now’s movies!
Biology has the very best grippers, hands-down. Even when it’s not palms.
And have a look at this cute lil man!
[Paper]
RoboCat is a self-improving AI agent for robotics that learns to carry out quite a lot of duties throughout totally different arms, after which self-generates new coaching information to enhance its approach.
uMobileLab is a cell and versatile collaborative lab automation answer that integrates seamlessly into present lab workflows. It will increase effectivity throughout workload fluctuations and permits the environment friendly completion of duties, whereas navigating safely in varied lab settings and environments.
You realize it’s a robotic that does science, as a result of it wears glasses.
Probably the most fascinating video is correct on the finish, the place this collision-tolerant quadrotor begins pushing an enormous field round.

New work from Carnegie Mellon College has enabled robots to study family chores by watching movies of individuals performing on a regular basis duties of their properties. The analysis might assist enhance the utility of robots within the residence, permitting them to help folks with duties like cooking and cleansing. Two robots efficiently realized 12 duties together with opening a drawer, oven door and lid; taking a pot off the range; and choosing up a phone, vegetable or can of soup.

The target of the HomeRobot: Open Vocabulary Cell Manipulation (OVMM) Problem is to create a platform that permits researchers to develop brokers that may navigate unfamiliar environments, manipulate novel objects, and transfer away from closed object courses in the direction of open-vocabulary pure language. This problem goals to facilitate cross-cutting analysis in embodied AI utilizing current advances in machine studying, pc imaginative and prescient, pure language, and robotics.
The winner will obtain their very own Stretch robotic!
Thanks, Aaron!
Aerial deployment and retrieval of a twin-arm manipulator that resembles a human being have been efficiently demonstrated as a way to perform the set up of specialised fowl flight diverters on an actual energy line.

Whether or not intentional or not, that is fairly hilarious.
Sanctuary’s robotic is prepared for preschool. Feels like a slight, nevertheless it’s actually not, for a robotic.
This wheelchair tennis-playing robotic from Georgia Tech is called ESTHER, for (Experimental Sport Tennis wHEelchair Robotic). It’s a stretch, nevertheless it will get a move because it was named after arguably the best wheelchair tennis participant, Esther Vergeer.
This video is just not that spectacular, however I nonetheless actually just like the idea behind these squishy robots.
