Video Friday is your weekly collection of superior robotics movies, collected by your pals at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally put up a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the following few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.
Cybathlon Challenges: 2 February 2024, ZURICH
Eurobot Open 2024: 8–11 Might 2024, LA ROCHE-SUR-YON, FRANCE
ICRA 2024: 13–17 Might 2024, YOKOHAMA, JAPAN
RoboCup 2024: 17–22 July 2024, EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS
Take pleasure in immediately’s movies!
Produced from superbly fabricated metal and eight cellular arms, medusai can play percussion and strings with human musicians, dance with human dancers, and transfer in time to a number of human observers. It makes use of AI-driven laptop imaginative and prescient to know what human observers are doing and responds accordingly by means of snake gestures, music, and light-weight.
If this appears a little bit bit unsettling, that’s intentional! The challenge was designed to discover the ideas of belief and danger within the context of robots, and of utilizing know-how to affect emotion.

Thanks, Gil!
On April 19, 2021, NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made historical past when it accomplished the primary powered, managed flight on the Purple Planet. It flew for the final time on January 18, 2024.

Teleoperation performs a vital function in enabling robotic operations in difficult environments, but current limitations in effectiveness and accuracy necessitate the event of progressive methods for enhancing teleoperated duties. The work illustrated on this video introduces a novel method that makes use of blended actuality and assistive autonomy to reinforce the effectivity and precision of humanoid robotic teleoperation.
Typically all it takes is one good punch, after which you may simply collapse.
Thanks, Robert!
The brand new Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter 2 enhances on-site efficiency and productiveness by means of its compact design and prolonged capabilities. Constructing upon the success of the first-generation FieldPrinter, which has printed over 91 million sq. ft of structure, the FieldPrint Platform incorporates classes realized from years of expertise within the area to ship an optimized expertise for all trades on website.

Quadrupedal robots have emerged as a cutting-edge platform for aiding people, discovering purposes in duties associated to inspection and exploration in distant areas. However, their floating base construction renders them inclined to failure in cluttered environments, the place handbook restoration by a human operator might not at all times be possible. On this research, we suggest a strong all-terrain restoration coverage to facilitate fast and safe restoration in cluttered environments.

Thanks, Stefan!
I wish to think about that these are simply excerpts from one very lengthy stroll that Digit took round San Francisco.
Boxing, drumming, stacking bins, and numerous different practices… These are the every day teleoperation testing of our humanoid robotic. Collaborating with engineers, our humanoid robots acquire real-world information from teleoperation for studying to iterate management algorithms.

The OpenDR challenge goals to develop a flexible and open toolkit for basic robotic capabilities, utilizing deep studying to reinforce their understanding and decision-making talents. The first goal is to make robots extra clever, notably in vital areas like healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing. Within the healthcare setting, the TIAGo robotic is deployed to supply help and help inside a healthcare facility.

Christoph Bartneck offers a chat entitled, “Social Robots—The top of the start or the start of the top?”
Prof. Michael Jordan presents his provocative ideas on the mixing of AI and economics and takes us on a tour of Trieste, a fantastic and grand metropolis in northern Italy.
