The 2021 Computer-Human Interaction conference (CHI) took place this week, in amongst the stereo smelling and tooth control were some incredibly creative robotics projects, like this “HairTouch” system that uses robotic manipulation to achieve a variety of haptic sensations using hair.
[ NTU ] Thanks Fan! Here's another cool thing from CHI: a “Pneumatic Raspberry Pi for Soft Robotics.”
[ FlowIO ] Thanks Fan!
NASA has 3D-ified Ingenuity's third flight, so dig up your 3D glasses and check it out: Also, audio! [ NASA ] Until we can find a good way of training cats, we'll have to make due with robots if we want to study their neuromuscular dynamics.
[ Osaka University ] Thanks Yoichi!
[ Kod*Lab ]
[ NUS ]
[ BU ] Turns out, if you give robots voices and names and googly eyes and blogs (?), people will try to anthropomorphize them. Go figure! [ NTNU ]
[ UCL ] Thanks Dimitrios! I am 100% here for telepresence robots with emotive antennas. [ Pollen Robotics ]
[ ASL ] Vandi Verma is one of the people driving the Mars Perseverance rover, and CMU would like to remind you that that she graduated from CMU. [ CMU ] Pepper is here to offer a “phygital” experience to shoppers. I had to look up “phygital,” and it's a combination of phyiscal and digital that is used exclusively in marketing, as far as I can tell, so let us never speak of it again. [ CMU ]
[ NASA ] Mmm, sorting is satisfying to watch. [ Dorabot ] iRobot seems to be hiring, although you’ll have to brave a pupper infestation. Clean floors, though! [ iRobot ] Shadow Robot's bimanual teleoperation system is now commercially available for a price you almost certainly cannot afford! Converge Robotics Group offers a haptic option, too. [ Shadow ] |
