Get pleasure from as we speak’s movies!
Unitree rolls out frequent updates practically each month. This time, we current to you the smoothest strolling and humanoid working on the earth. We hope you prefer it.]
[ Unitree ]
That is simply beautiful.

There’s quite a bit to love about Grain Weevil as an efficient unitasking robotic, however what I actually respect right here is that the management system is only a distant and a digicam slapped onto the highest of the bin.
[ Grain Weevil ]
This video, “Robotic arm selecting your groceries like an actual particular person,” has taught me that I’m not an actual particular person.
[ Extend Robotics ]
A robotic strolling like a human strolling like what people suppose a robotic strolling like a robotic walks like.
And that was my favourite sentence of the week.
[ Engineai ]
For us, robots are instruments to simplify life. However they need to look pleasant too, proper? That’s why we added motorized antennas to Reachy, so it may well present easy feelings—and not using a full character. Plus, they match these expressive eyes O_o!

So a factor that I’ve come to grasp about ships with sails (thanks, Jack Aubrey!) is that crusing within the path that the wind is coming from could be difficult. Seems that having a ship with two fronts and no again makes this quite a bit simpler.
[ Paper ] from [ 2023 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics ] by way of [ IEEE Xplore ]
I’m Kento Kawaharazuka from JSK Robotics Laboratory on the College of Tokyo. I’m writing to introduce our human-mimetic binaural listening to system on the musculoskeletal humanoid Musashi. The robotic can carry out 3D sound supply localization utilizing a human-like outer ear construction and an FPGA-based listening to system embedded inside it.

Thanks, Kento!
The third CYBATHLON passed off in Zurich on 25-27 October 2024. The CYBATHLON is a contest for individuals with impairments utilizing novel robotic applied sciences to carry out actions of day by day dwelling. It was invented and initiated by Prof. Robert Riener at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Races have been held in eight disciplines together with arm and leg prostheses, exoskeletons, powered wheelchairs, mind laptop interfaces, robotic help, imaginative and prescient help, and useful electrical stimulation bikes.

Thanks, Robert!
If you happen to’re going to work on robotic canines, I’m actually undecided whether or not Purina can be essentially the most or least applicable place to try this.
