#438785 Video Friday: A Blimp For Your CatVideo Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We’ll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): HRI 2021 – March 8-11, 2021 – [Online Conference]RoboSoft 2021 – April 12-16, 2021 – [Online Conference]ICRA 2021 – May 30-5, 2021 – Xi'an, ChinaLet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. Shiny robotic cat toy blimp! I am pretty sure this is Google Translate getting things wrong, but the About page mentions that the blimp will “take you to your destination after appearing in the death of God.” [ NTT DoCoMo ] via [ RobotStart ] If you have yet to see this real-time video of Perseverance landing on Mars, drop everything and watch it. During the press conference, someone commented that this is the first time anyone on the team who designed and built this system has ever seen it in operation, since it could only be tested at the component scale on Earth. This landing system has blown my mind since Curiosity. Here's a better look at where Percy ended up: [ NASA ] The fact that Digit can just walk up and down wet, slippery, muddy hills without breaking a sweat is (still) astonishing. [ Agility Robotics ] SkyMul wants drones to take over the task of tying rebar, which looks like just the sort of thing we'd rather robots be doing so that we don't have to: The tech certainly looks promising, and SkyMul says that they're looking for some additional support to bring things to the pilot stage. [ SkyMul ] Thanks Eohan!
I don't totally understand it, but I want it anyway. [ Flatcat ] Thanks Oswald!
[ Dave's Armoury ]
[ Paper ] Thanks Van!
It may never have been deployed (not that they'll admit to, anyway), but it was definitely operational and could fly controllably. [ CIA ] Research labs are starting to get Digits, which means we're going to get a much better idea of what its limitations are. [ Ohio State ]
[ TUM ]
[ Paper ] Thanks Fan! A couple of new cobots from ABB, designed to work safely around humans. [ ABB ] Thanks Fan! It's worth watching at least a little bit of Adam Savage testing Spot's new arm, because we get to see Spot try, fail, and eventually succeed at an autonomous door-opening behavior at the 10 minute mark. [ Tested ] SVR discusses diversity with guest speakers Dr. Michelle Johnson from the GRASP Lab at UPenn; Dr Ariel Anders from Women in Robotics and first technical hire at Robust.ai; Alka Roy from The Responsible Innovation Project; and Kenechukwu C. Mbanesi and Kenya Andrews from Black in Robotics. The discussion here is moderated by Dr. Ken Goldberg—artist, roboticist and Director of the CITRIS People and Robots Lab—and Andra Keay from Silicon Valley Robotics. [ SVR ] RAS presents a Soft Robotics Debate on Bioinspired vs. Biohybrid Design.
[ RAS SoRo ] IFRR presents a Colloquium on Human Robot Interaction.
[ IFRR ]
There are more interesting ENIAC videos at the link below, but we'll highlight this particular one, about the women of the ENIAC, also known as the First Programmers. [ ENIAC Day ]
