Video Friday is your weekly choice of superior robotics movies, collected by your mates at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally publish a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the following few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.
Humanoids 2023: 12–14 December 2023, AUSTIN, TEXAS
Cybathlon Challenges: 2 February 2024, ZURICH
Eurobot Open 2024: 8–11 Could 2024, LA ROCHE-SUR-YON, FRANCE
Get pleasure from at present’s movies!
That is such a wonderful use for autonomous robots: tough, exact work that advantages from getting access to a lot of information. Push a button, stand again, and let the robotic utterly reshape your panorama.

Common Robots launched the UR30 at IREX, in Tokyo, which may elevate 30 kilograms—not the 63.5 kg that it says on the tire. That’s the load of the UR30 itself.
Accessible for preorder now.

Should you look within the background of this video, there’s an individual sporting an exoskeleton controlling the robotic within the foreground. This is a perfect system for imitation studying, and the robotic is then capable of carry out an analogous process autonomously.

Thanks, Kento!
The video reveals highlights from the RoboCup 2023 Humanoid AdultSize competitors in Bordeaux, France. The profitable workforce NimbRo relies within the Autonomous Clever Programs lab of College of Bonn, Germany.

This video describes an method to generate advanced, multicontact movement trajectories utilizing person steering supplied by way of Digital Actuality. Person enter is beneficial to cut back the search house by way of outlined key body. We present these outcomes on the humanoid robotic, Valkyrie, from NASA Johnson House Middle, in each simulation and on {hardware}.
For the foreseeable future, that is probably going to be obligatory for many robots doing semi-structured duties like trailer unloading: human in (or on) the loop supervision.
In fact, one human can supervise many robots without delay, so so long as many of the robots are autonomous more often than not, it’s all good.

The Danish medical expertise start-up ROPCA ApS has launched its first medical product, the arthritis robotic “ARTHUR”, which is already getting used within the first hospitals. It’s based mostly on the light-weight robotic LBR Med and helps the early analysis of rheumatoid arthritis utilizing robot-assisted ultrasound. This ultrasound robotic allows autonomous examination and may thus counteract the scarcity of specialists in medication. This allows earlier remedy, which is important for an excellent therapeutic consequence.

Since 2020, KIMLAB has devoted efforts to craft an reasonably priced humanoid robotic tailor-made for academic wants, boasting very important options like an ROS-enabled processor and multimodal sensory capabilities. By incorporating a commercially out there product, we seamlessly built-in an SBC (Orange PI Lite 2), a digital camera, and an IMU to create a cheap humanoid robotic, priced at lower than $700 in complete.

As the latest product launched by WEILAN, the sixth era AlphaDog, specifically BabyAlpha, is outlined as a brand new member of the family of the synthetic intelligence period. Designed for home eventualities, it was born for the aim of offering joyful companionship. Not solely do they possess autonomous feelings and distinct personalities, however additionally they excel in numerous abilities resembling singing and dancing, FaceTime calling, English communication, and sports activities.
