Video Friday: Acrobot Error

Video Friday is your weekly decision of superior robotics videos, composed by your mates at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also put up a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the subsequent few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.

Cybathlon Challenges: 2 February 2024, ZURICH

HRI 2024: 11–15 March 2024, BOULDER, COLO.

Eurobot Originate 2024: 8–11 Might possibly possibly 2024, LA ROCHE-SUR-YON, FRANCE

ICRA 2024: 13–17 Might possibly possibly 2024, YOKOHAMA, JAPAN

Experience this day’s videos!

Excellent adore an exact human, Acrobot will continuously kick you within the face.

Thanks, Elizabeth!

You had me at “wormlike, limbless robots.”

Filmed in July 2017, this video shows us the utilization of Atlas to position out a “fire” on our loading dock. This makes employ of a mixture of teleoperation and self sustaining behaviors through a single, far flung laptop. Robotic built by Boston Dynamics for the DARPA Robotics Challenge in 2013. Instrument by IHMC Robotics.

I would recount that within the course of a rainstorm may possibly possibly maybe well additionally be the categorical time to commence a hearth that you establish a query to to be extinguished by a robot.

We’re laborious at work, however Atlas tranquil has time for a dance ruin.

Right here’s reasonably chilly: BruBotics is attempting out its self-healing robotics gripper know-how on commercial grippers from Festo.

Thanks, Bram!

It is possible you’ll possibly maybe well fill to learn our in-depth article on Stretch 3, so whereas you haven’t yet, fill in mind this as comely a teaser.

Inspired by caregiving experts, we proposed a bimanual interactive robotic dressing assistance map, which is unparalleled in earlier research. In the map, an interactive robot joins fingers with the human thus supporting/guiding the human within the dressing process, whereas the dressing robot performs the dressing assignment. This work represents a paradigm shift of pondering of the dressing assistance assignment from one-robot-to-one-arm to two-robot-to-one-arm.

Thanks, Jihong!

Tony Punnoose Valayil from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Institute of Robotics wrote in to half some very low-tag hand-rehabilitation robots for home employ.

On this video, we most modern a robot-assisted rehabilitation of the wrist joint which is ready to abet in restoring the energy that has been lost across the upper limb for that reason of stroke. This robot is terribly tag-efficient and may possibly possibly maybe well additionally be former for home rehabilitation.

On this video, we most modern an exoskeleton robot which is ready to be former at home for rehabilitating the index and middle fingers of stroke-affected patients. This robot is built at a tag of fifty euros for patients who’re no longer financially self sustaining to fetch better therapy.

Some very impressive work right here from the Norwegian College of Science and Technology (NTNU), showing a drone monitoring its situation the utilization of radar and lidar-essentially based fully mostly odometry in some nightmare (for robots) environments, in conjunction with a protracted tunnel that seems to be to be like the an identical in each and each situation and a hallway stout of smoke.

I’m sorry, however other folks may possibly possibly maybe well fill to truly know better than to present videos adore this for social robot crowdfunding by now.

It’s on Kickstarter for roughly $300, and the truth that it’s been funded so fleet tells me that folk fill already forgotten in regards to the social robotpocalypse.
