#439870 Video Friday: TurtleBot 4Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. 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!): Silicon Valley Robot Block Party – October 23, 2021 – Oakland, CA, USASSRR 2021 – October 25-27, 2021 – New York, NY, USALet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. We'll have more details on this next week, but there's a new TurtleBot, hooray! Brought to you by iRobot (providing the base in the form of the new Create 3), Clearpath, and Open Robotics. [ Clearpath ] Cognitive Pilot's autonomous tech is now being integrated into production Kirovets K-7M tractors, and they've got big plans: "The third phase of the project envisages a fully self-driving tractor control mode without the need for human involvement. It includes group autonomous operation with a 'leader', the movement of a group of self-driving tractors on non-public roads, the autonomous movement of a robo-tractor paired with a combine harvester not equipped with an autonomous control system, and the use of an expanded set of farm implements with automated control and functionality to monitor their condition during operation." [ Cognitive Pilot ] Thanks, Andrey!
[ Opteran ] If you weren't paying any attention to the DARPA SubT Challenge and are now afraid to ask about it, here are two recap videos from DARPA.

[ Boston Dynamics ] Fish in Washington are getting some help navigating through culverts under roads, thanks to a robot developed by University of Washington students Greg Joyce and Qishi Zhou. "HydroCUB is designed to operate from a distance through a 300-foot-long cable that supplies power to the rover and transmits video back to the operator. The goal is for the Washington State Department of Transportation which proposed the idea, to use the tool to look for vegetation, cracks, debris and other potential 'fish-barriers' in culverts." [ UW ] Thanks, Sarah!
[ JPL ]
[ MIT ]
[ Extend Robotics ] Here are a couple of videos from Matei Ciocarlie at the Columbia University ROAM lab talking about embodied intelligence for manipulation.
[ ROAM Lab ] The AirLab at CMU has been hosting an excellent series on SLAM. You should subscribe to their YouTube channel, but here are a couple of their more recent talks.
[ UofT ] These two talks come from the IEEE RAS Seasonal School on Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies based on Soft Robotics.
