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!): AUVSI EXPONENTIAL 2020 – October 5-8, 2020 – [Online]IROS 2020 – October 25-29, 2020 – [Online]ROS World 2020 – November 12, 2020 – [Online]CYBATHLON 2020 – November 13-14, 2020 – [Online]ICSR 2020 – November 14-16, 2020 – Golden, Colo., USALet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today’s videos.
[ Bear Robotics ] A literal in-depth look at Engineered Arts’ Mesmer android. [ Engineered Arts ] Is your robot running ROS? Is it connected to the Internet? Are you actually in control of it right now? Are you sure? I appreciate how the researchers admitted to finding two of their own robots as part of the scan, a Baxter and a drone. [ Brown ] Smile Robotics describes this as “(possibly) world’s first full-autonomous clear-up-the-table robot.” We’re not qualified to make a judgement on the world firstness, but personally I hate clearing tables, so this robot has my vote. Smile Robotics founder and CEO Takashi Ogura, along with chief engineer Mitsutaka Kabasawa and engineer Kazuya Kobayashi, are former Google roboticists. Ogura also worked at SCHAFT. Smile says its robot uses ROS and is controlled by a framework written mainly in Rust, adding: “We are hiring Rustacean Roboticists!” [ Smile Robotics ] We’re not entirely sure why, but Panasonic has released plans for an Internet of Things system for hamsters.

Okay but tell me more about that cute sheep. [ JKU ] Interbotix has this “research level robotic crawler,” which both looks mean and runs ROS, a dangerous combination. And here’s how it all came together: [ Interbotix ] I guess if you call them “loitering missile systems” rather than “drones that blow things up” people are less likely to get upset? [ AeroVironment ]
[ Harada Lab ]
[ Harada Lab ]
And the answer is: kinda? [ NORLAB ]
[ DFKI ]
Always a little suspicious when the video just shows the drone flying, and sitting on the ground, but not that tricky transition between those two states. [ NASA ] A Lockheed Martin Robotics Seminar on “Socially Assistive Mobile Robots,” by Yi Guo from Stevens Institute of Technology.
[ UMD ] This week’s CMU RI Seminar is by CMU’s Zachary Manchester, on “The World’s Tiniest Space Program.”
