Video Friday: A Starbucks With 100 Robots

Video Friday is your weekly collection of superior robotics movies, peaceful by your folks at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also put up a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the following few months. Please
ship us your events for inclusion.

RoboCup 2024: 17–22 July 2024, EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS

ICSR 2024: 23–26 October 2024, ODENSE, DENMARK

Cybathlon 2024: 25–27 October 2024, ZURICH

Revel in on the present time’s movies!

NAVER 1784 is the realm’s supreme robotics testbed. The Starbucks on the 2nd ground of 1784 is the realm’s most spicy Starbucks, with greater than 100 service robots called “Rookie” handing over Starbucks drinks to meeting rooms and non-public seats, and various experiments with a dual-arm robotic.

For these that’re gonna rob a robotic canine with you on a hike, the least it would possibly perhaps perchance attain is lift your backpack for you.

Well-known reminder that phrases love “no teleoperation” with none additional context can mean many different issues.

This video is provided on the ICRA 2024 conference and summarizes most modern results of our Studying AI for Dextrous Manipulation Lab. It demonstrates how our discovering out AI methods allowed for breakthroughs in dextrous manipulation with the cell humanoid robotic DLR Agile Justin. Even supposing the core of the mechatronic hardware is almost two decades outdated college, absolute most realistic the introduction of discovering out AI methods enabled a stage of dexterity, flexibility and autonomy coming finish to human capabilities.

Thanks Berthold!

Fingers of blue? No longer an actual explore.

With the full humanoid stuff happening, there surely needs to be extra emphasis on intentional contact—humans lean and balance on issues the full time, and robots ought to too!

LimX Dynamics W1 is now greater than a wheeled quadruped. By evolving into a biped robotic, W1 maneuvers slickly on two legs in varied ways: non-discontinuance 360° rotation, actual free gliding, slick maneuvering, random collision and self-recovery, and step walking.

Animal brains exercise less data and energy when in contrast to most modern deep neural networks running on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This makes it anxious to form puny self enough drones, which would possibly perhaps perchance be too puny and light-weight for heavy hardware and gigantic batteries. No longer too long ago, the emergence of neuromorphic processors that mimic how brains feature has made it capacity for researchers from Delft University of Technology to form a drone that makes exercise of neuromorphic imaginative and prescient and administration for self enough flight.

Within the beginning of the universe, all used to be darkness — except the first organisms developed sight, which ushered in an explosion of lifestyles, discovering out and development. AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li says a the same moment is about to happen for computers and robots. She reveals how machines are gaining “spatial intelligence” — the capacity to course of visible data, form predictions and act upon these predictions — and shares how this would possibly perhaps perchance allow AI to engage with humans in the actual world.
