Get pleasure from as we speak’s movies!
Not even ladders can preserve you protected from quadruped robots anymore.

Introducing Azi (proper), the brand new desktop robotic from Engineered Arts Ltd. Azi and Ameca are having a bit of chat, demonstrating their big selection of expressive capabilities. Engineered Arts desktop robots characteristic 32 actuators, 27 for facial management alone, and 5 for the neck. They embrace AI conversational capability together with GPT-4o assist which makes them nice robotic companions.

Quadruped robots that particular person researchers can construct by themselves are essential for increasing the scope of analysis as a consequence of their excessive scalability and customizability. On this research, we develop a metallic quadruped robotic MEVIUS, that may be constructed and assembled utilizing solely supplies ordered via e-commerce. Now we have thought-about the minimal set of elements required for a quadruped robotic, using metallic machining, sheet metallic welding, and off-the-shelf elements solely.

Thanks Kento!
Avian perching maneuvers are one of the frequent and agile flight eventualities, the place extremely optimized flight trajectories, produced by speedy wing and tail morphing that generate excessive angular charges and accelerations, cut back kinetic vitality at affect. Right here, we use optimum management strategies on an avian-inspired drone with morphing wing and tail to check a current speculation derived from perching maneuver experiments of Harris’ hawks that birds reduce the space flown at excessive angles of assault to dissipate kinetic vitality earlier than affect.

The earliest indicators of bearing failures are inaudible to you, however to not Spot . Introducing acoustic vibration sensing—Automate ultrasonic inspections of rotating gear to maintain your manufacturing unit buzzing.
The one factor I need to know is whether or not Spot is programmed to truly try this cute little tilt when utilizing its acoustic sensors.

I don’t assume “IP67” actually does this justice.

Joyful Oktoberfest from Dino Robotics!

This paper introduces a learning-based low-level controller for quadcopters, which adaptively controls quadcopters with important variations in mass, measurement, and actuator capabilities. Our strategy leverages a mix of imitation studying and reinforcement studying, making a fast-adapting and common management framework for quadcopters that eliminates the necessity for exact mannequin estimation or guide tuning.

Parkour poses a big problem for legged robots, requiring navigation via advanced environments with agility and precision primarily based on restricted sensory inputs. On this work, we introduce a novel technique for coaching end-to-end visible insurance policies, from depth pixels to robotic management instructions, to attain agile and protected quadruped locomotion.
