I believe it’s time for us all to confess that a number of the most fascinating bipedal and humanoid analysis is being executed by Disney.

Over the previous few months, Unitree G1 robotic has been upgraded right into a mass manufacturing model, with stronger efficiency, final look, and being extra in step with mass manufacturing necessities.

This robotic is from Kinisi Robotics, which was based by Brennand Pierce, who additionally based Bear Robotics. You can’t actually inform from this video, however take a look at the web site as a result of the attain this robotic has is bonkers.
Kinisi Robotics is on a mission to democratize entry to superior robotics with our newest innovation—a low-cost, dual-arm robotic designed for warehouses, factories, and supermarkets. What units our robotic aside is its integration of LLM expertise, enabling it to study from demonstrations and carry out advanced duties with minimal setup. Leveraging Brennand’s in depth expertise in scaling robotic options, we’re in a position to produce this robotic for beneath $20k, making it a game-changer within the trade.

Thanks Bren!
Finally, one thing that Atlas does that I’m additionally bodily able to doing. In idea.
Okay, by no means thoughts. I don’t have these hips.

Researchers within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University have created the primary legged robotic of its dimension to run, flip, push hundreds, and climb miniature stairs.
They say it may possibly “run,” however I’m skeptical that there’s a flight section until somebody sneezes close by.

The lights are cool and all, nevertheless it’s the pulsing mushy pores and skin that’s squigging me out.
[ Paper, Robotics Reports Vol.2 ]
Roofing is a troublesome and harmful sufficient job that it will be nice if robots may take it over. It’ll be a problem although.
[ Renovate Robotics ] by way of [ TechCrunch ]
Kento Kawaharazuka from JSK Robotics Laboratory on the University of Tokyo wrote in to share this paper, simply accepted at RA-L, which (amongst different issues) reveals a robotic utilizing its versatile palms to determine objects by means of random finger movement.
[ Paper accepted by IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters ]
Thanks Kento!
It’s one factor to make robots which might be dependable, and it’s one other to make robots which might be dependable and repairable by the tip person. I don’t suppose iRobot will get sufficient credit score for this.
