#436079 Video Friday: This Humanoid Robot Will ...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!): Northeast Robotics Colloquium – October 12, 2019 – Philadelphia, Pa., USARo-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. What’s better than a robotics paper with “dynamic” in the title? A robotics paper with “highly dynamic” in the title. From Sangbae Kim’s lab at MIT, the latest exploits of Mini Cheetah: Yes I’d very much like one please. Full paper at the link below.
[ Roboy ] The Roomba “i” series and “s” series vacuums have just gotten an update that lets you set “keep out” zones, which is super useful. Tell your robot where not to go! I feel bad, that Roomba was probably just hungry 🙁 [ iRobot ] We wrote about Voliro’s tilt-rotor hexcopter a couple years ago, and now it’s off doing practical things, like spray painting a building pretty much the same color that it was before. [ Voliro ] Thanks Mina! Here’s a clever approach for bin-picking problematic objects, like shiny things: Just grab a whole bunch, and then sort out what you need on a nice robot-friendly table. It might take a little bit longer, but what do you care, you’re probably off sipping a cocktail with a little umbrella in it on a beach somewhere. [ Harada Lab ]
[ ABB ]
[ EPFL ] Turns out Tertills actually do a pretty great job fighting weeds. Plus, they leave all those cute lil’ Tertill tracks.
[ GTSAM ] via [ University of Michigan ] UBTECH has announced an upgraded version of its Meebot, which is 30 percent bigger and comes with more sensors and programmable eyes. [ UBTECH ]
[ ABB ]
[ Misty Robotics ] My guess is that this was not one of iRobot’s testing environments for the Roomba. You know, that’s actually super impressive. And maybe if they threw one of the self-emptying Roombas in there, it would be a viable solution to the entire problem. [ How Farms Work ]
[ SubT ]
[ CMU RI ]
[ Sonar+D ]
