Video Friday is your weekly choice of superior robotics movies, collected by your pals at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally submit a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the following few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.
IEEE SSRR 2023: 13–15 November 2023, FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN
Humanoids 2023: 12–14 December 2023, AUSTIN, TEXAS.
Cybathlon Challenges: 02 February 2024, ZURICH
Take pleasure in in the present day’s movies!
The method of getting Spot to speak with a persona could be very cool, however that is additionally one thing that ought to be achieved very fastidiously: Spot is a device, and though it could sound prefer it thinks and feels, it completely doesn’t. Simply one thing to bear in mind as extra Spots (and different robots) make it out into the wild.

Shhh. Be vewy, vewy quiet.

This video presents the exceptional capabilities of the TALOS robotic because it demonstrates agile and sturdy strolling utilizing Mannequin Predictive Management (MPC) references despatched to a Entire-Physique Inverse Dynamics (WBID) controller developed in collaboration with Dynamograde.

Dr. Hooman Samani from the Inventive Robotics Lab on the College of the Arts London writes, “The thought is to indicate how robots may be past conventional use and contain extra individuals in robotics equivalent to artists as we do at our college. So we made this video to indicate how a co-bot can be utilized as a DJ and folks and robots dance collectively to the robotic DJ in a robotic dance social gathering!”

This video presents a novel perching and tilting aerial robotic for exact and versatile power-tool work on vertical partitions. The system was developed as a part of the AITHON ETH Zürich Bachelor scholar focus venture and introduced at IEEE IROS 2023. It combines a compact built-in perching drone design with a concrete drill’s heavy payload and response forces.

Lava caves on Mars and significantly on the moon usually are not solely fascinating for exo-geologists and different house scientists, however additionally they may very well be used as storage rooms and even habitats for future human settlements. The query is the right way to entry and discover these big cavities below the lunar floor with out risking the lives of astronauts. That is the place robots, or relatively groups of robots, come into play.

The rise of latest Basis fashions (and functions e.g. ChatGPT) provide an thrilling glimpse into the capabilities of enormous deep networks skilled on Web-scale information. On this discuss, I’ll briefly focus on among the classes we’ve discovered whereas scaling actual robotic information assortment, how we’ve been enthusiastic about Basis fashions, and the way we’d bootstrap off of them (and modularity) to make our robots helpful sooner.
