Video Friday is your weekly choice 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.
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
Get pleasure from in the present day’s movies!
If the Italian Institute of Know-how’s iRonCub3 appears this cool whereas studying to fly, simply think about how cool it’s going to look when it really takes off!
Hovering is within the works, however it is a actually onerous drawback, which you’ll learn extra about in Daniele Pucci’s put up on LinkedIn.

Stanford Engineering and the Toyota Analysis Institute obtain the world’s first autonomous tandem drift. Leveraging the newest AI expertise, Stanford Engineering and TRI are working to make driving safer for all. By automating a driving fashion utilized in motorsports known as drifting—during which a driver intentionally spins the rear wheels to interrupt traction—the groups have unlocked new potentialities for future security programs.

Researchers on the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Know-how) have demonstrated that beneath particular circumstances, people can deal with robots as coauthors of the outcomes of their actions. The situation that allows this phenomenon is a robotic that behaves in a social, humanlike method. Partaking in eye contact and taking part in a typical emotional expertise, reminiscent of watching a film, are key.

If Aibo will not be fairly catlike sufficient for you, right here you go.

I’ve by no means been extra excited for a sim-to-real hole to be bridged.
[ USC Viterbi ]
I’m sorry, however this appears precisely like a quadrotor sitting on a take a look at stand.
The 12-pound Quad-Biplane combines 4 rotors and two wings with none management surfaces. The plane takes off like a traditional quadcopter and transitions to a more-efficient horizontal cruise flight, much like that of a biplane. This combines the simplicity of a quadrotor design, offering vertical flight functionality, with the cruise effectivity of a fixed-wing plane. The rotors are chargeable for plane management each in vertical and ahead cruise flight regimes.

Tensegrity robots are so bizarre, and I so need them to be helpful.
Prime-performing robots want all the assistance they’ll get.
[ Team B-Human ]
And now: a beetle practically hit by an autonomous robotic.

People possess a outstanding potential to react to unpredictable perturbations by means of speedy mechanical responses, which harness the visco-elastic properties of muscle tissues to take care of stability. Impressed by this conduct, we suggest a novel design of a robotic leg using fiber-jammed constructions as passive compliant mechanisms to attain variable joint stiffness and damping.

I don’t know what this piece of furnishings is, however your cats will adore it.
[ ABB ]
[ Extend Robotics ]
I by no means actually considered this, however wind turbine blades are hole inside and have to be inspected typically, which is de facto a kind of jobs the place you’d a lot relatively have a robotic do it.
[ Flyability ]
Right here’s a full, uncut drone-delivery mission, together with a bundle pickup from our AutoLoader—a easy, nonpowered mechanical system that permits retail companions to make the most of drone supply with present curbside-pickup workflows.

Daniel Simu and his acrobatic robotic competed in “America’s Received Expertise,” and though his robotic did a really robotic factor by breaking itself instantly beforehand, the efficiency went rather well.
[ Acrobot ]
A tour of the Artistic Robotics Mini Exhibition on the Artistic Computing Institute, College of the Arts London.

Thanks, Hooman!
Zoox CEO Aicha Evans and cofounder and chief expertise officer Jesse Levinson hosted a LinkedIn Dwell final week to mirror on the previous decade of constructing Zoox and their predictions for the following 10 years of the autonomous-vehicle business.
