Get pleasure from at present’s movies!
One of the venerable (and recognizable) cell robots ever made, the Husky, has simply gotten a significant improve.
Transport early subsequent 12 months.
MAB Robotics is creating legged robots for the inspection and upkeep of business infrastructure. One of many preliminary areas for deploying this expertise is underground infrastructure, similar to water and sewer canals. In these environments, resistance to components like excessive humidity and dealing underwater is crucial. To handle these challenges, the MAB staff has constructed a strolling robotic able to working absolutely submerged, primarily based on distinctive self-developed robotics actuators. This innovation overcomes the constraints of present applied sciences, providing MAB’s first shoppers a singular service for trenchless inspection and upkeep duties.

We current SDS (“See it. Do it. Sorted’), a novel pipeline for intuitive quadrupedal ability studying from a single demonstration video leveraging the visible capabilities of GPT-4o. We validate our technique on the Unitree Go1 robotic, demonstrating its capacity to execute variable expertise similar to trotting, bounding, pacing, and hopping, attaining excessive imitation constancy and locomotion stability.

Latest works within the robot-learning group have efficiently launched generalist fashions able to controlling varied robotic embodiments throughout a variety of duties, similar to navigation and locomotion. Nonetheless, attaining agile management, which pushes the bounds of robotic efficiency, nonetheless depends on specialist fashions that require in depth parameter tuning. To leverage generalist-model adaptability and adaptability whereas attaining specialist-level agility, we suggest AnyCar, a transformer-based generalist dynamics mannequin designed for agile management of varied wheeled robots.

Uncover the way forward for aerial manipulation with our untethered delicate robotic platform with onboard notion stack! Introduced on the 2024 Convention on Robotic Studying, in Munich, this platform introduces autonomous aerial manipulation that works in each indoor and out of doors environments—with out counting on pricey off-board monitoring techniques.

Deploying notion modules for human-robot handovers is difficult as a result of they require a excessive diploma of reactivity, generalizability, and robustness to work reliably for numerous circumstances. Right here, we present {hardware} handover experiments utilizing our environment friendly and object-agnostic real-time monitoring framework, particularly designed for human-to-robot handover duties with legged manipulators.

Azi and Ameca are killing time, however Azi struggles being the brand new child round. Engineered Arts desktop robots characteristic 32 actuators, 27 for facial management alone, and 5 for the neck. They embrace AI conversational capacity together with GPT-4o assist, which makes them nice robotic companions, even to one another. The robots are following a script for this video, utilizing certainly one of their many voices.

This UPenn GRASP Lab seminar is from Antonio Loquercio, on “Simulation: What made us clever will make our robots clever.”
Simulation-to-reality switch is an rising strategy that permits robots to develop expertise in simulated environments earlier than making use of them in the actual world. This technique has catalyzed quite a few developments in robotic studying, from locomotion to agile flight. On this discuss, I’ll discover simulation-to-reality switch by way of the lens of evolutionary biology, drawing intriguing parallels with the perform of the mammalian neocortex. By reframing this system within the context of organic evolution, we will uncover novel analysis questions and discover how simulation-to-reality switch can evolve from an empirically pushed course of to a scientific self-discipline.
