Right here’s somewhat bit extra IRL footage of Apptronik’s Apollo, which was introduced this week.

TruckBot is an autonomous robotic that may unload each truck trailers and transport containers at a price of as much as 1,000 circumstances per hour. It reaches as much as 52 toes into the truck trailer or transport container and might deal with containers weighing as much as 50 lbs, together with containers with packing complexities and blended SKU masses.

These high-speed robotic fingers from the late Nineties and 2000s are nonetheless spectacular.
That is possibly the jauntiest robotic I’ve ever seen.

Or possibly that is the jauntiest robotic I’ve ever seen.

Seems, when you make toes into hydrofoil shapes and put a pair of legs right into a water present that’s been disturbed by a cylinder, you’ll get a reasonably convincing organic strolling gait.

Thanks, Julia!
People are usually good at whole-body manipulation, however robots wrestle with such duties. To the robotic, every spot the place the field may contact any level on the provider’s fingers, arms, and torso represents a contact occasion that it should purpose about. With billions of potential contact occasions, planning for this process rapidly turns into intractable. Now MIT researchers have discovered a solution to simplify this course of, often known as contact-rich manipulation planning.
Okay, however I wish to know extra about Mr. Bucket <3.

By collaborating with Dusty on the Stanford College Bridge Undertaking, California Drywall was in a position to minimize format time in half and fast-track the set up venture.

PILOTs for robotic INspection and upkeep Grounded on superior clever platforms and prototype purposes (PILOTING) is an H2020 European venture coordinated by CATEC. The number of inspection and upkeep operations thought-about throughout the venture requires using totally different robotic techniques. A collection of robotic automobiles from PILOTING companions has been tailored/developed and built-in throughout the PILOTING I&M platform.

A NASA flight marketing campaign goals to allow drones to land safely on rooftop hubs referred to as vertiports for future supply of individuals and items. The marketing campaign may result in enhancements in climate prediction.

An unscripted however presumably edited lengthy interview with Robotic Sophia, when you’re into that individual form of theater.

Thanks, Dan!
