ICRA 2024: 13–17 Could 2024, YOKOHAMA, JAPAN
Get pleasure from right this moment’s movies!
This magnetically actuated comfortable robotic is probably barely a robotic by most definitions, however I can’t cease watching it flop round.
On this work, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Ahmet F. Demirörs, and co‐staff from SDU (DK) and ETH (CH) introduce kirigami right into a comfortable magnetic sheet to realize bidirectional crawling beneath rotating magnetic fields. Experimentally characterised crawling and deformation profiles, mixed with numerical simulations, reveal programmable movement via modifications in reduce form, magnet orientation, and translational movement. This work affords a easy method towards untethered comfortable robots.
Thanks, Ahmad!
Winner of the earliest vacation video is the LARSEN group at Inria!

Thanks, Serena!
Despite the fact that that is only a rendering, I actually recognize Apptronik being like, “we’re into the humanoid factor, however typically you simply don’t want legs.”

We’re not allowed to debate unmentionables right here at IEEE Spectrum, so I can solely let you know that Digit has began working in a warehouse dealing with, uh, issues.

Unitree’s sub-$90k H1 Humanoid struggling some abuse in a non-PR video.

Not like me, ANYmal can carry out 24/7 in all climate.

Many of the world might want to activate subtitles for this, but it surely’s cool to see how industrial robots can be utilized to make artwork.

I used to be solely 12 when this episode of Scientific American Frontiers aired, however I completely keep in mind Alan Alda assembly Flakey!
And right here’s the section, it’s fairly nice.

Agility CEO Damion Shelton talks concerning the hierarchy of robotic management and attracts similarities to the method of using a horse.

In search of to instill college students with real-life workforce abilities via hands-on studying, academics at Central Excessive College in Louisville, Ky., included Spot into their curriculum. For college kids at CHS, a magnet college for Jefferson County Public Colleges district, getting expertise with an industrial robotic has sparked a ardour for engineering and robotics, kickstarted development into college engineering packages, and constructed lifelong profession abilities. See how college students be taught to function Spot, program new behaviors for the robotic, and encourage their friends with the college’s “emotional assist robotic” and unofficial mascot.
