In these environments, resistance to factors like high humidity and working underwater is essential. Presented at the 2024 Conference on Robot Learning in Munich, this platform introduces autonomous aerial manipulation that works in both indoor and outdoor environments—without relying on costly off-board tracking systems.

JPL ] Cassie Blue showcases its ability to navigate a moving walkway, a common yet challenging scenario in human environments. PAL Robotics’ Kangaroo demonstrates classic “zero-moment point” or ZMP walking, with only one or two engineers tagging along, and neither of them look all that nervous. RAMIEL ] Thanks, Temma! That is all.

Boston Dynamics ] Digit's engineered to be a multipurpose machine. Meaning, it needs to be able to perform a collection of tasks in practically any environment. Then we help the robot perceive its surroundings, understand its surroundings, then reason a best course of action to navigate its environment and accomplish its task.

A major challenge in bringing these controllers to life is the “reality gap” between the real platform and the training environment. HEBI Robotics ] Menteebot can navigate complex environments by combining a 3D model of the world with a dynamic obstacle map. SNU INRoL ] I think someone needs to crank the humor setting up on this one.

In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps in multiple directions. Current robotic systems focus on avoiding unexpected contact, often relying on strategically placed environment sensors.

Looking to give robots a more nimble, human-like touch MIT engineers have now developed a gripper that grasps by reflex. The almost noise-free prototype can trap objects underneath its body without physical contact, thereby enabling safe interactions in delicate environments such as coral reefs. Enjoy today’s videos!
