Get pleasure from right this moment’s movies!
“Sport ist Mord,” as Germans would say. Santa was very bold to get match for Christmas. Sadly, he had a minor accident whereas mountain climbing on Karlsruhe’s Mount Klotz, so Christmas is perhaps cancelled this 12 months. Will our workforce of robotic reindeer, medics, and physiotherapists discover a answer for Santa? We hope all will get their Christmas presents on time! The FZI needs you a Merry Christmas and a Pleased New 12 months!

Thanks, Arne!
This vacation season, Santa’s on a mission! Be part of the festive enjoyable as our beloved Santa groups up together with his trusty robotic sidekick to unfold cheer and put a cease to any researchers who is perhaps as much as no good with harmless robots from the Robotic Programs Lab. Let’s discover out if there are nonetheless some kind-hearted researchers on the market!

Why do the baubles disappear from the Christmas tree within the College? And what function do our Naos play on this? Let yourselves be stunned and get into the spirit of a Merry Christmas! Humanoids Bonn needs everybody a good looking Christmastime!

Pleased Holidays from the PAL Robotics workforce. The start of 2024 marks the twentieth anniversary of our firm, and we’re excited for all of the issues to come back.

Thanks, Rugile!
As we bid farewell to this 12 months and welcome the prospects of 2024, United Robtics Group is delighted to share our season’s greetings with you thru this particular video. On this time of festivity and hope, we prolong our warmest needs for a joyful vacation season and a affluent New 12 months to everybody around the globe.
Thanks, Nicolas!
Even units from the laboratories {of electrical} engineers, roboticists and pc scientists could be became musical devices. Of their Christmas video, researchers from CTU’s School of Electrical Engineering show this in an unconventional experiment by “tuning” their know-how to the Christmas tune within the English carol We Want You a Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Jiri!
Season’s greetings from euRobotics!

On this video, we offer you an unique behind-the-scenes take a look at how our KUKA Austria workforce works arduous to convey you the last word mulled cider expertise. From conception to implementation, the LBR iisy Cobot, which mixes the precision of a robotic with the fervour of a human workforce, offers assist. A course of that not solely delights the style buds, but in addition redefines the boundaries of robotics.

Santa Claus is on the point of come to city, with slightly little bit of assist from his buddies at Flexiv! He made an inventory, checked it twice, and fingers crossed, you’ve been good!

Pleased Holidays from Yaskawa!

We have now created an AI robotic named CyberRunner whose process is to discover ways to play the favored and broadly accessible labyrinth marble sport. The labyrinth is a sport of bodily talent whose purpose is to steer a marble from a given begin level to the top level. In doing so, the participant should stop the ball from falling into any of the holes which are current on the labyrinth board. CyberRunner applies current advances in model-based reinforcement studying to the bodily world and exploits its capability to make knowledgeable selections about doubtlessly profitable behaviors by planning real-world selections and actions into the longer term. The training on the real-world labyrinth is carried out in 6.06 hours, comprising 1.2 million time steps at a management charge of 55 samples per second. The AI robotic outperforms the beforehand quickest recorded time, achieved by a particularly expert human participant, by over 6 p.c.
In case you’re questioning (like I used to be), shortcutting throughout the maze to skip elements of the observe is, in actual fact, dishonest. The system (like most people) did uncover shortcuts and needed to be explicitly directed to not take them.

Thanks, Markus!
Grain Weevil, one of many extra attention-grabbing single-purpose robots I’ve ever seen, had a busy 2023.

The compilation showcases ultimate undertaking demos from the grasp course ‘Introduction to Comfortable Robotics,’ supplied by SDU Comfortable Robotics throughout Autumn 2023 on the College of Southern Denmark, Odense Campus. This 12 months’s undertaking theme centered on mushy locomotion. Every workforce was tasked with designing a mushy robotic able to navigating a path comprising flat and inclined surfaces, obstacles, and tough terrains.

In 2023, we have been honored to have quite a few shoppers place their belief in us, deploying our quadruped robotic in a wide range of settings. We take satisfaction in our dedication to alleviate our shoppers’ challenges, a mission that has been on the coronary heart of DEEPRobotics because the starting. We’ve chosen a number of symbolic circumstances to share with you, and we hope you discover them as fascinating as we do. Get pleasure from!

Why do information facilities of the longer term should be state-of-the-art, and why do we have to apply so many applied sciences to them? There are engineers tackling this very query with robotics, autonomous driving, and AI applied sciences. On this video, they clarify the rationale behind growing the robots and autonomous shuttles of the information heart GAK Sejong.

A captivating historical past of the KR FAMULUS, the world’s first industrial robotic with an electrical motor, which went into service in Augsburg half a century in the past! Beginning with the imaginative and prescient of making robots that might make work and life simpler for folks, the foundations have been laid for right this moment’s robotic revolution. Richard Schwarz, one of many KUKA pioneers, offers a first-hand account of how, pushed by ardour and the German engineering spirit, they developed the KR Famulus, shaping the know-how shift from cumbersome hydraulic robots to revolutionary, clear electrical motor robots.
