Video Friday is your weekly choice of superior robotics movies, collected by your mates at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally publish a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the following few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.
IEEE SSRR 2023: 13–15 November 2023, FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN
Humanoids 2023: 12–14 December 2023, AUSTIN, TEX.
Cybathlon Challenges: 02 February 2024, ZURICH, SWITZERLAND
Enjoy at this time’s movies!
Digit, our human-centric robotic, can now self-right and stand again up after it falls. This is footage from our testing lab, the place we deliberately disable the notion techniques that might usually keep away from/modify to obstacles stopping Digit from falling. For the needs of this check, we pressure Digit to fall in a managed surroundings to show our new self-righting and recovering skill.

With our multipick performance, Stretch is unlocking the following stage of automated unloading. Stretch can now transfer a number of containers with a single swing of the arm. In typical delivery containers full of hundreds of containers, the robotic is hitting considerably increased charges of productiveness.

Since their mass manufacturing within the early 2000s, vacuum robots have emerged as extremely profitable business merchandise within the discipline of residence automation. At KIMLAB, we’ve carried out a cell manipulator primarily based on a vacuum robotic and an add-on mechanism by using our PAPRAS (Plug-And-Play Robotic Arm System).
Happy 100 Ikeadroneversary to Verity!

Honda is exploring how our all-electric prototype Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) may handle the challenges of labor shortages, security and safety, and emissions reductions to carry new worth to airfield operations. The Honda AWV is designed to spice up workforce productiveness and assist repetitive duties that permit corporations to focus their workforce on value-added actions. First launched as an idea at CES 2018, the Honda AWV is now advancing towards commercialization.

The SMART Innovative Training Network is a three way partnership between academia and trade, offering scientific and private growth of younger researchers within the multidisciplinary fields of soppy robotics and good supplies. SMART will understand the technologically and scientifically bold breakthroughs to use good, stimuli-responsive materials techniques for actuation, sensing, and self-healing capabilities for clever mushy units.
