This looks like a solid upgrade, with a 3 km/h top speed, “complex terrain navigation,” 3 kg of payload per hand, and UBTECH’s promise that the robot is compliant and safe to be around. But we’re not entirely sure what it actually, um, does, you know? [ UBTECH ]
The robot is based on OhmniLabs' platform (which we reviewed a while back), in partnership with Volkswagen. [ US Soccer ] Thanks, Joseph! This tail-less gecko robot from IBSS, NUAA in China dynamically adjusts its climbing gait depending on how steep of a slope it’s trying to climb up.
It can avoid obstacles while climbing, too:
[ Paper ] Thanks, Poramate!
[ GE Research ] Personally I wouldn't have chosen tree trimming as an ideal example of the kinds of intricate and dangerous tasks that the Sarcos Guardian XT is good for, but here it is anyway.
[ Sarcos ]
[ ETH Zurich ] Thanks, Fan!
[ CMS ] Thanks, Fan! Tencent is working on some stylish gaits for a simulated quadruped.
Looks like this'll be an IROS paper in the fall. [ Tencent ] Thanks, Fan!
[ Dipper ] For when you need to pipette something suuuper toxic, I guess?
[ Shadow ] Some robotics companies look for ways to integrate autonomous systems into warehouses with a minimal amount of infrastructure. Ocado is not one of those companies.
I’m not sure that the question of whether this is one robot or many robots is all that relevant, to be honest. It’s a robotic system, and you can define robotic systems to be whatever you feel like, more or less. [ Ocado ]
[ ESA ]
[ Fotokite ] I know this is jut an end effector for making gloves on a Kuka arm, but if you were designing a robot to slap people in the face, this is exactly what it would look like.
[ Kuka ] Vector 2.0 is still in the works at Digital Dream Labs, the new owners of Anki.
[ Vector ] Pepper may not be in production anymore, but it’s still in active use, is supported, and is available for purchase.
[ RobotLab ] Black in Robotics advocates for more diversity and inclusion in robotics, and helps to boost the voices of under-represented minorities in our field. If you missed this series of three videos that were part of the IROS program, they’re now on YouTube, and we’ve got them here for you.
