Introducing Azi (proper), the brand new desktop robotic from Engineered Arts Ltd. Azi and Ameca are having a bit chat, demonstrating their big selection of expressive capabilities. Engineered Arts desktop robots function 32 actuators, 27 for facial management alone, and 5 for the neck. They embrace AI conversational capacity together with GPT-4o help 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 result of their excessive scalability and customizability. On this examine, we develop a metallic quadruped robotic MEVIUS, that may be constructed and assembled utilizing solely supplies ordered by way of e-commerce. We have now 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 probably the most 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 influence. Right here, we use optimum management strategies on an avian-inspired drone with morphing wing and tail to check a latest speculation derived from perching maneuver experiments of Harris’ hawks that birds decrease the space flown at excessive angles of assault to dissipate kinetic vitality earlier than influence.

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

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

This paper presents a teleportation system with floating robotic arms that traverse parallel cables to carry out long-distance manipulation. The system advantages from the cable-based infrastructure, which is simple to arrange and cost-effective with expandable workspace vary.

It appears to be simply renderings for now, however right here’s the subsequent model of Fourier’s humanoid.

Comfortable Oktoberfest from Dino Robotics!

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

Parkour poses a big problem for legged robots, requiring navigation by way of complicated 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 secure quadruped locomotion.
