Take pleasure in right this moment’s movies!
Engineers at College of Colorado, Boulder have designed a brand new tiny robotic that may passively change its form to squeeze via slender gaps. The machine, named Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, or CLARI, borrows its inspiration from the squishiness and varied shapes of the world of bugs.

We’ve bought a enormous function on the College of Zurich’s autonomous vision-based racing drones, which you need to completely learn in full after watching this abstract video.

That is simply CGI, however this analysis group has bodily robots which might be making this occur.
This video offers a preview of the latest collaboration between Cyberbotics Lab and Damage Biomechanics Analysis Lab (IBRL) at Ohio State College on legged robotic locomotion testing with the linear impactor.

That is our smallest swimming crawling model (SAW design). It’s 6 centimeters lengthy! The wave movement is actuated by a single motor. We hooked up floats, because the motor and battery had been too heavy.

A pair of Digits approaches a railway line, and also you received’t consider what occurs subsequent!

Suction cups are crucial for every kind of logistics robots, however they’re essentially fairly fragile. Wouldn’t or not it’s good to have suction cups that heal themselves?

Thanks, Bram!
We current a easy method to in-hand dice reconfiguration. By simplifying planning, management, and notion as a lot as doable whereas sustaining sturdy and common efficiency, we acquire insights into the inherent complexity of in-hand dice reconfiguration. The proposed system outperforms a considerably extra advanced system for dice reconfiguration based mostly on deep studying and correct bodily simulation, contributing arguments to the dialogue about what essentially the most promising method to common manipulation could be.

Our newest augmented-reality developments for command, management, and supervision of autonomous brokers in a three-operator/two-robot human-robot group. The views proven are the first-person views of three HoloLens 2 customers and one top-down view of a satellite tv for pc map with all group members seen all through the complete demonstration.

ABB robots go to White Fort.

Along with finishing duties rapidly and effectively, agility permits legged robots to maneuver via advanced environments which might be in any other case tough to traverse. In “Barkour: Benchmarking Animal-Stage Agility With Quadruped Robots,” we introduce the Barkour agility benchmark for quadruped robots, together with a Transformer-based generalist locomotion coverage

This week, Geordie Rose (CEO) and Suzanne Gildert (CTO) of Sanctuary AI muse concerning the thought of a “humanoid olympics” whereas discussing how humanoid robots and their respective corporations will be ranked. They go over potential metrics for evaluating completely different humanoid robots—in addition to what counts as a humanoid, what doesn’t, and why.
