Get pleasure from at present’s movies!
Humanoid robots maintain the potential for unparalleled versatility for performing human-like, whole-body abilities. ASAP allows extremely agile motions that have been beforehand tough to attain, demonstrating the potential of delta motion studying in bridging simulation and real-world dynamics. These outcomes counsel a promising sim-to-real path for growing extra expressive and agile humanoids.

Massive Information: Swiss-Mile is now RIVR! We’re thrilled to unveil our new identity as RIVR, reflecting our evolution from a college spin-off to a world chief in Bodily AI and robotics. In 2025, we’ll be deploying our groundbreaking wheeled-legged robots with main logistics carriers for last-mile supply to set new requirements for effectivity and sustainability.

Robotics is among the greatest methods to cut back employee publicity to security dangers. Nonetheless, one of many greatest boundaries to adopting robots in these industries is the problem of navigating the rugged terrain present in these environments. UCR’s robots navigate tough terrain, debris-strewn flooring, and confined areas with out requiring facility modifications, disrupting current workflows, or compromising schedules, considerably enhancing effectivity whereas protecting staff protected.

This paper introduces a security filter to make sure collision avoidance for multirotor aerial robots. The proposed methodology permits computational scalability towards hundreds of constraints and, thus, advanced scenes with quite a few obstacles. We experimentally display its capability to ensure the security of a quadrotor with an onboard LiDAR, working in each indoor and out of doors cluttered environments towards each naive and adversarial nominal insurance policies.
Thanks, Kostas!

Non-prehensile pushing to maneuver and re-orient objects to a aim is a flexible loco-manipulation ability. On this paper, we develop a learning-based controller for a mobile manipulator to maneuver an unknown object to a desired place and yaw orientation via a sequence of pushing actions. By our in depth {hardware} experiments, we present that the method demonstrates excessive robustness towards unknown objects of various plenty, supplies, sizes, and shapes.
