#437864 Video Friday: Jet-Powered Flying ...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!): ICRA 2020 – June 1-15, 2020 – [Virtual Conference]RSS 2020 – July 12-16, 2020 – [Virtual Conference]CLAWAR 2020 – August 24-26, 2020 – [Virtual Conference]ICUAS 2020 – September 1-4, 2020 – Athens, GreeceICRES 2020 – September 28-29, 2020 – Taipei, TaiwanICSR 2020 – November 14-16, 2020 – Golden, ColoradoLet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today’s videos. ICRA 2020, the world’s best, biggest, longest virtual robotics conference ever, kicked off last Sunday with an all-star panel on a critical topic: “COVID-19: How Can Roboticists Help?” Watch other ICRA keynotes on IEEE.tv. We’re getting closer! Well, kinda. iRonCub, the jet-powered flying humanoid, is still a simulation for now, but not only are the simulations getting better—the researchers have begun testing real jet engines!

[ UCSD ] Thanks Ioana! Tsuki is a ROS-enabled, highly dynamic quadruped robot developed by Lingkang Zhang. And as far as we know, Lingkang is still chasing it. [ Quadruped Tsuki ] Thanks Lingkang! Watch this.
[ ABB ] Meet Presso, the “5-minute dry cleaning robot.” Can you really call this a robot? We’re not sure. The company says it uses “soft robotics to hold the garment correctly, then clean, sanitize, press and dry under 5 minutes.” The machine was initially designed for use in the hospitality industry, but after adding a disinfectant function for COVID-19, it is now being used on movie and TV sets. [ Presso ] The next Mars rover launches next month (!), and here’s a look at some of the instruments on board. [ JPL ]
[ Embodied ] I did not know that this is where Pepper’s e-stop is. Nice design!
[ CVUT ] I’m almost positive I could not do this task.

[ NASA ] This is clever: In order to minimize time spent labeling datasets, you can use radar to identify other vehicles, not because the radar can actually recognize other vehicles, but because the radar can recognize other stuff that’s big and moving, which turns out to be almost as good. [ ICRA Paper ] Happy 10th birthday to the Natural Robotics Lab at the University of Sheffield. [ NRL ]
