Video Friday is your weekly number of superior robotics movies, collected by your folks at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally put up a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the following few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.
RoboCup 2024: 17–22 July 2024, EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS
ICRA@40: 23–26 September 2024, ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
IROS 2024: 14–18 October 2024, ABU DHABI, UAE
ICSR 2024: 23–26 October 2024, ODENSE, DENMARK
Cybathlon 2024: 25–27 October 2024, ZURICH
Take pleasure in at present’s movies!
We current Morphy, a novel compliant and morphologically conscious flying robotic that integrates sensorized versatile joints in its arms, thus enabling resilient collisions at excessive speeds and the flexibility to squeeze by means of openings narrower than its nominal dimensions.
Morphy represents a brand new class of soppy flying robots that may facilitate unprecedented resilience by means of improvements each within the “physique” and “mind.” The novel smooth physique can, in flip, allow new avenues for autonomy. Collisions that beforehand needed to be prevented have now turn into acceptable dangers, whereas areas which might be untraversable for a sure robotic dimension can now be negotiated by means of self-squeezing. These novel bodily interactions with the surroundings may give rise to new kinds of embodied intelligence.

Thanks, Kostas!
Segments of each day coaching for robots pushed by reinforcement studying. A number of assessments performed prematurely for pleasant service people. The coaching contains some excessive assessments. Please don’t imitate!

Right here I’m, with out the flexibility or gear (or need) required to iron something that I personal, and Flexiv’s obtained robots on the market ironing fancy leather-based automotive seats.

Thanks, Noah!
We unveiled a big leap ahead in notion expertise for our humanoid robotic GR-1. The newly tailored pure-vision answer integrates chook’s-eye view, transformer fashions, and an occupancy community for exact and environment friendly environmental notion.

Thanks, Serin!
LimX Dynamics’ humanoid robotic CL-1 was launched in December 2023. It climbed stairs primarily based on real-time terrain notion, two steps per stair. 4 months later, in April 2024, the second demo video showcased CL-1 in the identical state of affairs. It had superior to climb the identical stair, one step per stair.

Thanks, Ou Yan!
New analysis from the College of Massachusetts Amherst exhibits that programming robots to create their very own groups and voluntarily wait for his or her teammates ends in quicker process completion, with the potential to enhance manufacturing, agriculture, and warehouse automation.

Thanks, Julia!
LASDRA (Massive-size Aerial Skeleton with Distributed Rotor Actuation system (ICRA18) is a scalable and modular aerial robotic. It could assume a really slender, lengthy, and dexterous type issue and could be very light-weight.

We suggest augmenting initially passive buildings constructed from easy repeated cells, with novel lively models to allow dynamic, shape-changing, and robotic purposes. Impressed by metamaterials that may make use of mechanisms, we construct a framework that permits customers to configure cells of this passive construction to permit it to carry out complicated duties.

Testing autonomous exploration on the Exyn Workplace utilizing Spot from Boston Dynamics. On this demo, Spot autonomously explores our flight area whereas on the hunt for one in all our engineers.

Meet Heavy Picker, the strongest robotic in bulky-waste sorting and an absolute professional at lifting and sorting waste. With abilities that will make a live performance pianist jealous and a piece ethic that by no means wants espresso breaks, Heavy Picker was looking out for brand spanking new challenges.

AI is the most important and most consequential enterprise, monetary, authorized, technological, and cultural story of our time. On this panel, you’ll hear from the underrepresented neighborhood of girls scientists who’ve been main the AI revolution—from the start to now.
