Get pleasure from at present’s movies!
Determine is making progress towards a humanoid robotic that may do one thing helpful, however needless to say the “full use case” right here will not be one steady shot.

Can this robotic survive a 1-meter drop? Spoiler alert: it can’t.

A type of issues that’s so much more durable for robots than it in all probability appears to be like.
It is a demo of hammering a nail. The instantaneous rebound drive from the hammer is absorbed via a mix of the elasticity of the rubber materials securing the hammer, the deflection in torque sensors and harmonic gears, back-drivability, and impedance management. This enables the nail to be pushed with a specific amount of drive.

Though bin packing has been a key benchmark job for robotic manipulation, the group has primarily centered on the location of inflexible rectilinear objects throughout the container. We deal with this by presenting a gentle robotic hand that mixes imaginative and prescient, motor-based proprioception, and gentle tactile sensors to determine, kind, and pack a stream of unknown objects.

Standing Replace: Extending conventional visible servo and compliant management by integrating the most recent reinforcement and imitation studying management methodologies, UBTECH regularly trains the embodied intelligence-based “cerebellum” of its humanoid robotic Walker S for various industrial manipulation duties.

When you’re gonna ask a robotic to stack bread, higher make it flat.
[ FANUC ]
Cassie must be one of the distinctive sounding legged robots there’s.
[ Paper ]
Twice the robots are by definition twice as succesful, proper…?

The Robotic Programs Lab participated within the Superior Industrial Robotic Purposes (AIRA) Problem on the ACHEMA 2024 course of trade commerce present, the place groups demonstrated their teleoperated robotic options for industrial inspection duties. We competed with the ALMA legged manipulator robotic, teleoperated utilizing a second robotic arm in a leader-follower configuration, inserting us in third place for the competitors.
[ ETHZ RSL ]
That is apparently “peak demand” in a single marketplace for Wing supply drones.

Utilizing a brand new sort of surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, MIT researchers, in collaboration with colleagues from Brigham and Girls’s Hospital, have proven {that a} pure strolling gait is achievable utilizing a prosthetic leg absolutely pushed by the physique’s personal nervous system. The surgical amputation process reconnects muscle groups within the residual limb, which permits sufferers to obtain “proprioceptive” suggestions about the place their prosthetic limb is in house.

Coal mining in Forest of Dean (UK) is such a troublesome and difficult job. Going into the mine as human is typically nearly inconceivable. We did it with our robotic whereas inspecting the mine with our companions (Forestry England) and the native miners!
[ UCL RPL ]
Chill.
[ ABB ]
Would you tango with a robotic? Inviting us into the fascinating world of dancing machines, robotic choreographer Catie Cuan highlights why instructing robots to maneuver with grace, intention and emotion is crucial to creating AI-powered machines we’ll need to welcome into our day by day lives.
