Tokyo startup Telexistence has recently unveiled a new robot called the Model-T, an advanced teleoperated humanoid that can use tools and grasp a wide range of objects. Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart plans to test the Model-T to restock shelves in up to 20 stores by 2022. In the trial, a human “pilot” will operate the robot remotely, handling items like beverage bottles, rice balls, sandwiches, and bento boxes.
[ Telexistence ] Quadruped dance-off should be a new robotics competition at IROS or ICRA. I dunno though, that moonwalk might keep Spot in the lead… [ Unitree ] Through a hybrid of simulation and real-life training, this air muscle robot is learning to play table tennis.
Thanks Dieter! Anthony Cowley wrote in to share his recent thesis work on UPSLAM, a fast and lightweight SLAM technique that records data in panoramic depth images (just PNGs) that are easy to visualize and even easier to share between robots, even on low-bandwidth networks. [ UPenn ] Thanks Anthony!
[ Gitai ] The University of Michigan has a fancy new treadmill that’s built right into the floor, which proves to be a bit much for Mini Cheetah. But Cassie Blue won’t get stuck on no treadmill! She goes for a 0.3 mile walk across campus, which ends when a certain someone ran the gantry into Cassie Blue’s foot. Some serious quadruped research going on at UT Austin Human Centered Robotics Lab. [ HCRL ] Will Burrard-Lucas has spent lockdown upgrading his slightly indestructible BeetleCam wildlife photographing robot.
[ Harvard Wyss ] Yaskawa appears to be working on a robot that can scan you with a temperature gun and then jam a mask on your face? [ Motoman ] Maybe we should just not have people working in mines anymore, how about that? [ Exyn ]
[ Paper ]
[ IBM Research ]
[ ideaXme ] A CVPR talk from Stanford’s Chelsea Finn on “Generalization in Visuomotor Learning.” [ Stanford ]
