#436042 Video Friday: Caltech’s Drone With ...Video 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!): ISRR 2019 – October 6-10, 2019 – Hanoi, VietnamRo-Man 2019 – October 14-18, 2019 – New Delhi, IndiaHumanoids 2019 – October 15-17, 2019 – Toronto, CanadaARSO 2019 – October 31-1, 2019 – Beijing, ChinaROSCon 2019 – October 31-1, 2019 – MacauIROS 2019 – November 4-8, 2019 – MacauLet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today’s videos. Caltech has been making progress on LEONARDO (LEg ON Aerial Robotic DrOne), their leggy thruster powered humanoid-thing. It can now balance and walk, which is quite impressive to see. We’ll circle back again when they’ve got it jumping and floating around. [ Caltech ] Turn the subtitles on to learn how robots became experts at slicing bubbly, melty, delicious cheese.
[ Idiap ] Thanks Sylvain! Some amazing news this week from Skydio, with the announcement of their better in every single way Skydio 2 autonomous drone. Read our full article for details, but here’s a getting started video that gives you an overview of what the drone can do. The first batch sold out in 36 hours, but you can put down a $100 deposit to reserve the $999 drone for 2020 delivery. [ Skydio ] UBTECH is introducing a couple new robot kits for the holidays: ChampBot and FireBot. $130 each, available on October 20. [ Ubtech ]
[ NASA ]
[ Ryo Suzuki ] Robot abuse!
[ Ghost Robotics ]
This is a cool idea, but for a real challenge they should try it outside a supermarket. Or a pet store. [ Soft Robotics ]
[ MAVLab ]
[ EPFL ] It’s a little hard to see, but this is one way of testing out asteroid imaging spacecraft without actually going into space: a fake asteroid and a 2D microgravity simulator. [ Caltech ] Drones can help filmmakers do the kinds of shots that would be otherwise impossible. [ DJI ] Two long interviews this week from Lex Fridman’s AI Podcast, and both of them are worth watching: Gary Marcus, and Peter Norvig. [ AI Podcast ] This week’s CMU RI Seminar comes from Tucker Hermans at the University of Utah, on “Improving Multi-fingered Robot Manipulation by Unifying Learning and Planning.”
