Take pleasure in at this time’s movies!
Agility has been working with GXO for a bit now, however the large information right here (and it IS large information) is that Agility’s Digit robots at GXO now symbolize the primary formal industrial deployment of humanoid robots.
[ GXO ]
GXO can’t appear to get sufficient humanoids, as a result of they’re additionally beginning some R&D with Apptronik.
[ GXO ]
On this paper, we introduce a full-stack system for humanoids to be taught movement and autonomous abilities from human information. By means of shadowing, human operators can teleoperate humanoids to gather whole-body information for studying completely different duties in the true world. Utilizing the information collected, we then carry out supervised habits cloning to coach ability insurance policies utilizing selfish imaginative and prescient, permitting humanoids to finish completely different duties autonomously by imitating human abilities.
THAT FACE.
[ HumanPlus ]
Yeah these robots are spectacular but it surely’s the sound results that make it.
[ Deep Robotics ]
Meet CARMEN, brief for Cognitively Assistive Robotic for Motivation and Neurorehabilitation–a small, tabletop robotic designed to assist folks with gentle cognitive impairment (MCI) be taught abilities to enhance reminiscence, consideration, and govt performing at residence.
Thanks, Ioana!
The caption of this video is, “it didn’t work…”
You had one job, e-stop particular person! ONE JOB!
[ WVUIRL ]
This can be a demo of slicing wooden with a noticed. When utilizing place management for this process, exact measurement of the slicing quantity is important. Nonetheless, through the use of impedance management, this requirement is eradicated, permitting for profitable slicing with solely tough instructions.
[ Tokyo Robotics ]
That is mesmerizing.
[ Oregon State ]
Quadrupeds are actually beginning to appear to be the brand new hotness in bipedal locomotion.
I nonetheless assume this can be a smart way of charging a robotic. Ensure that and watch till the top to see the detach trick.
[ YouTube ]
The Oasa R1, now on Kickstarter for $1,200, is the world’s first robotic garden mower that makes use of certainly one of them previous timey reely issues for slicing.
[ Kickstarter ]
ICRA subsequent 12 months is in Atlanta!
[ ICRA 2025 ]
Our Skunk Works crew developed a modified model of the SR-71 Blackbird, titled the M-21, which carried an uncrewed reconnaissance drone known as the D-21. The D-21 was designed to seize intelligence, launch its digital camera, then self-destruct!
[ Lockheed Martin ]
The RPD 35 is a robotic powerhouse that surveys, distributes, and drives wide-flange photo voltaic piles as much as 19 ft in size.
[ Built Robotics ]
Subject AI’s mind expertise is enabling robots to autonomously discover oil and gasoline services, navigating all through the positioning and inspecting tools for anomalies and dangerous situations.
[ Field AI ]
Husky Observer was not too long ago deployed at a busy automotive rail yard to hold out numerous autonomous inspection duties together with measuring practice automotive positions and RFID information assortment from the offloaded practice stock.
[ Clearpath ]
If you happen to’re going to attempt to land a robotic on the Moon, it’s helpful to have slightly little bit of the Moon someplace to follow on.
[ Astrobotic ]
Would you swallow a micro-robot? In a gutsy demo, doctor Vivek Kumbhari navigates Pillbot, a wi-fi, disposable robotic swallowed onstage by engineer Alex Luebke, modeling how this expertise can swiftly present direct visualization of inner organs. Be taught extra about how micro-robots may transfer us previous the age of invasive endoscopies and open up doorways to extra snug, inexpensive medical imaging.
[ TED ]
How will AI enhance our lives within the years to come back? From its inception six many years in the past to its latest exponential development, futurist Ray Kurzweil highlights AI’s transformative affect on numerous fields and explains his prediction for the singularity: the purpose at which human intelligence merges with machine intelligence.
