This 3D printed hand uses fluidic circuits (which respond differently to different input pressures) to create a soft robotic hand that only needs one input source to actuate three fingers independently.
[ UMD ] Thanks, Fan!

[ MIT CSAIL ] Listening to the language here about SoftBank's Whiz cleaning robot, I’ve got some concerns.
My worry is that the value that the robot is adding here is mostly in perception of cleaning, rather than actually, you know, cleaning. Which is still value, and that’s fine, but whether it’s long term commercially viable is less certain. [ SoftBank ]

[ NVIDIA ] These videos from Moley Robotics have too many cuts in them to properly judge how skilled the robot is, but as far as I know, it only cooks the "perfect" steak in the sense that it will cook a steak of a given weight for a given time.

[ MIT CSAIL ] Drone Adventures maps wildlife in Namibia from above.
[ Drone Adventures ] Some impressive electronics disassembly tasks using a planner that just unscrews things, shakes them, and sees whether it then needs to unscrew more things.
[ Imagine ]
Thanks, Fan!
[ WeRobotics ] Pieter Abbeel’s Robot Brains Podcast has started posting video versions of the episodes, if you’re into that sort of thing. There are interesting excerpts as well, a few of which we can share here.
[ Robot Brains ] RSS took place this week with paper presentations, talks, Q&As, and more, but here are two of the keynotes that are definitely worth watching.
