Appropriate facial expressions for Ameca on this video are chosen by GPT-3 . We additionally tried GPT-4; the processing time with 4 was longer and made Ameca seem much less responsive.

Kittens: the enemy of lazy robots all over the place.
I’m very interested by what “<3 Fluffy Pants” is all about.

This is a abstract video of KIMLAB Robot Demos at UIUC Engineering Open House 2023.

SRI International’s newest robotic utility focuses on the mixing of energetic surfaces with a compliant robotic grasper to offer a excessive dexterity and robustness for robotic in-hand manipulation. The grasper can choose up a variety of sizes and form in energy grasps and transfer them round in several axes with out lifting the fingers. The potential to re-orient objects in an influence grasp gives distinctive worth to each industrial and home functions.
Sigh, I want my fingers may do this.

Our new stroll is predicated on our 2022 stroll. To guarantee stability, we use a regulation to change the allowed rotation pace of the help foot’s joints. Thus, the totally different leg components will nonetheless execute the supposed movement, however based mostly on the middle of mass and the measured rotation errors of the help foot, some leg components are slowed down if wanted. Additionally, to deal with extra excessive circumstances at larger strolling speeds, a neural community is used to foretell future joint place measurements to calculate future place errors. The robots are actually in a position to deal with harder conditions. Also, as an unintended impact, the robots elevate up on the tip of the supporting foot, similar to people do.

A movement platform is simply an upside-down quadruped robotic.

This is getting out of hand—now there are two of them!

The little doghouse on this video is tremendous cute.

ORNL researchers examine the results of vitality use on waterways and develop options to restrict water air pollution. This phase demonstrates how scientists use drones to evaluate biodiversity and ecosystem well being.

More and extra new automobiles come geared up with autonomous driving options. By 2030, an estimated 4 million absolutely autonomous autos will journey U.S. roadways. A big problem is making certain these autos are protected sufficient to function on public roads.

This GRASP Seminar is from Larry Matthies on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, on “Autonomous mobility in Mars exploration: recent achievements and future prospects.”
This speak will summarize key latest advances in autonomous floor and aerial mobility for Mars exploration, then focus on potential future missions and expertise wants for Mars and different planetary our bodies. Rover mission ideas just lately recommended for the Moon would drive about 1500 to 2000 km in underneath 4 years, which requires important advances in autonomy. Successors to the Ingenuity helicopter are actually underneath improvement to be used in a mission deliberate for later this decade to return Mars samples to Earth that Perseverance is accumulating. Much bigger helicopter ideas are being studied to allow carrying bigger science instrument payloads for potential future Mars missions. Robotic floor and aerial autos, in addition to drilling techniques for subsurface entry, doubtlessly may play a task in NASA’s objectives for a human mission to Mars roughly 20 years from now.
