Video Friday is your weekly number of superior robotics movies, collected by your pals 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, SWITZERLAND
Eurobot Open 2024: 8–11 Could 2024, LA ROCHE-SUR-YON, FRANCE
Get pleasure from right this moment’s movies!
Fourier Intelligence has simply introduced the mass manufacturing of their GR-1 humanoid, they usually’ve received at the least a dozen of them.
Thanks, Ni Tao!
This collaborative work between researchers from the College of Southern Denmark and VISTEC introduces a biomorphic tender robotic pores and skin for a hexapod robotic platform, that includes a central sample generator–primarily based neural controller for producing respiratory-like motions on the pores and skin. The design allows visuo-haptic nonverbal communication between people and robots and improves the robotic’s aesthetics by enhancing its biomorphic qualities.

Thanks, Mads!
Based on knowledge from 2010, round 1.8 million folks in the USA can’t eat on their very own. But coaching a robotic to feed folks presents an array of challenges for researchers. A group led by researchers on the College of Washington created a set of 11 actions a robotic arm could make to select up almost any meals attainable by fork. In checks with this set of actions, the robotic picked up the meals greater than 80 % of the time, which is the user-specified benchmark for in-home use. The small set of actions permits the system to be taught to select up new meals throughout one meal.

Thanks, Stefan!
In the event you watch sufficient robotic movies, you get to know when a robotic is being pushed in a manner that’s simple to recuperate from, and when it’s truly being challenged. The tip of this video exhibits IHMC’s Nadia getting pushed sideways towards its planted foot, which necessitates a crossover step restoration.
Thanks, Robert!
Ayato Kanada, an assistant professor at Kyushu College, needs to construct woodpecker-inspired Doc Ock tentacles. And while you’re a professor, you’ll be able to simply do this.
Additionally, woodpeckers are bizarre.

Thanks, Ayato!
Discover Tevel’s joint robotic fruit-harvesting pilot program with Kubota on this video, filmed through the 2023 apple harvest season within the Mazzoni Group’s orchards in Ferrara, Italy. Watch as our autonomous fruit-picking methods function with precision, skillfully harvesting numerous apples within the idyllic Italian orchards.

Understanding what’s an impediment and what’s solely obstacle-ish has all the time been difficult for robots, however Spot is making some progress right here.

We tried to play Road Fighter 6 by teleoperating Reachy! Nicely, it didn’t go as deliberate, as Antoine received. Nevertheless it was a fairly epic battle!

The important thing property of a knowledge heart are the servers. Whereas most of them are energetic within the server room, idle and new property are saved within the IT warehouse. Focusing primarily on this IT warehouse, SeRo automates the inbound and outbound administration of the information heart’s property.

Fascinating HRI with the flashing mild on Spot right here.

Flying in circles with a giant tank of gasoline actually looks like a greater job for a robotic pilot than for a human one.
