Get pleasure from in the present day’s movies!

On this paper, we introduce ROSE, a novel gentle gripper that may embrace the article and squeeze it by buckling a gentle, funnel-like, thin-walled membrane across the object by easy rotation of the bottom. Due to this design, the ROSE hand can adapt to a variety of objects that may fall inside the funnel, and deal with them with nice gripping power.

Thanks, Van!

Legged robots are designed to carry out extremely dynamic motions. Nonetheless, it stays difficult for customers to retarget expressive motions onto these advanced programs. On this paper, we current a Differentiable Optimum Management (DOC) framework that facilitates the switch of wealthy motions from both animals or animations onto these robots.

We current a workforce of legged robots for scientific exploration missions in difficult planetary analog environments. The paper was printed in Science Robotics, and we deployed this method on the ESA / ESRIC House Sources Problem.

[ ETHZ RSL ]

I bodily cringed watching this occur.

[ NORLab ]

At Agility, we make robots which are made for work. Our robotic Digit works alongside us in areas designed for folks. Digit handles the tedious and repetitive duties meant for a machine, permitting corporations and their folks to deal with the work that requires the human ingredient.

[ Agility Robotics ]

Admit it—you’ve executed this along with your robotic.

[ AeroVironment ]

This appears to be like like a enjoyable recreation: Can you retain a simulated humanoid from falling over by strolling for it?

[ RoboDesign Lab ]

NSFW.

[ Hardcore Robotics ]

I’m together with this as a result of it’s Scotland, and also you should see it.

[ DJI ]

Crew RoMeLa’s ARTEMIS vs. RoboCup Champions Crew NimbRo. That is an exhibition recreation generously supplied by Crew NimbRo after an unlucky incident of an unlawful recreation controller that interfered with Crew RoMeLa’s final official recreation.

Two main robotics pioneers share how they’re driving disruption in wildly completely different industries: well being care and development. We hear how these improvements will influence companies and society, and what it takes to be a robotics entrepreneur in in the present day’s financial local weather. Vivian Chu, cofounder and CTO, Diligent Robotics, and Tessa Lau, founder and CEO, Dusty Robotics.
