Take pleasure in immediately’s movies!
Agility has been working with GXO for a bit now, however the massive information right here (and it IS massive information) is that Agility’s Digit robots at GXO now signify the primary formal business 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 shadowing, human operators can teleoperate humanoids to gather whole-body information for studying totally different duties in the actual world. Utilizing the info collected, we then carry out supervised conduct cloning to coach ability insurance policies utilizing selfish imaginative and prescient, permitting humanoids to finish totally different duties autonomously by imitating human abilities.
THAT FACE.
[ HumanPlus ]
Yeah these robots are spectacular nevertheless it’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 individuals with gentle cognitive impairment (MCI) be taught abilities to enhance reminiscence, consideration, and govt performing at dwelling.
Thanks, Ioana!
The caption of this video is, “it didn’t work…”
You had one job, e-stop individual! ONE JOB!
[ WVUIRL ]
It is a demo of slicing wooden with a noticed. When utilizing place management for this job, exact measurement of the slicing quantity is important. Nevertheless, by utilizing 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 like the brand new hotness in bipedal locomotion.
I nonetheless suppose this can be a good way of charging a robotic. Be sure and watch till the tip 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The Oasa R1, now on Kickstarter for $1,200, is the world’s first robotic garden mower that makes use of one in all them outdated timey reely issues for slicing.
[ Kickstarter ]
ICRA subsequent 12 months is in Atlanta!
[ ICRA 2025 ]
Our Skunk Works workforce developed a modified model of the SR-71 Blackbird, titled the M-21, which carried an uncrewed reconnaissance drone referred to 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 ]
Area AI’s mind know-how is enabling robots to autonomously discover oil and fuel amenities, navigating all through the location and inspecting tools for anomalies and unsafe circumstances.
[ Field AI ]
Husky Observer was lately deployed at a busy automotive rail yard to hold out varied autonomous inspection duties together with measuring practice automobile positions and RFID information assortment from the offloaded practice stock.
[ Clearpath ]
In case you’re going to attempt to land a robotic on the Moon, it’s helpful to have somewhat little bit of the Moon someplace to apply 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 know-how can swiftly present direct visualization of inside organs. Be taught extra about how micro-robots may transfer us previous the age of invasive endoscopies and open up doorways to extra comfy, reasonably priced 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 impression on varied fields and explains his prediction for the singularity: the purpose at which human intelligence merges with machine intelligence.
