Take pleasure in at this time’s movies!
The title of this video is “Foolish Robotic Canine Leap” and that’s most likely greater than it’s essential to know.

It’ll be nice when robots are reliably autonomous, however till they get there, collaborative capabilities are a should.
[ Robust AI ]
I’m so INCREDIBLY EXCITED for this.

On this 3 minutes lengthy one-take video, the LimX Dynamics CL-1 takes on the problem of steady heavy objects loading amongst cabinets in a simulated warehouse, showcasing some great benefits of the general-purpose type issue of humanoid robots.

Birds, bats and lots of bugs can tuck their wings in opposition to their our bodies when at relaxation and deploy them to energy flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing muscle groups, how bugs management their wing deployment and retraction stays unclear as a result of this varies amongst insect species. Right here we display that rhinoceros beetles can effortlessly deploy their hindwings with out necessitating muscular exercise. We validated the speculation utilizing a flapping microrobot that passively deployed its wings for steady, managed flight and retracted them neatly upon touchdown, demonstrating a easy, but efficient, strategy to the design of insect-like flying micromachines.

The DARPA Triage Challenge unsurprisingly has a bunch of robots in it.

The Cobalt safety robotic has been round for some time, however I’ve to say, the design actually holds up—it’s a great trying robotic.

All robots that enter elevators needs to be programmed to softly sway forwards and backwards to the elevator music. Even when there’s no elevator music.

ABB Robotics and the Texas Youngsters’s Hospital have developed a groundbreaking lab automation answer utilizing ABB’s YuMi® cobot to switch fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) used within the examine for creating new medication for neurological circumstances reminiscent of Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s.
