Enjoy immediately’s movies!
MIT engineers developed an insect-sized leaping robotic that may traverse difficult terrains whereas utilizing far much less power than an aerial robotic of comparable dimension. This tiny, hopping robotic can leap over tall obstacles and bounce throughout slanted or uneven surfaces carrying about 10 occasions extra payload than a similar-sized aerial robotic, opening the door to many new functions.

CubiX is a wire-driven robotic that connects to the atmosphere via wires, with drones used to ascertain these connections. By integrating with varied instruments and a robotic, it performs duties past the restrictions of its bodily construction.

Thanks, Shintaro!

I loved the Murderbot books, and the trailer for the TV present really appears to be like not horrible.

For service robots, with the ability to function an unmodified elevator is far more troublesome (and far more vital) than you may suppose.

There’s a number of buzz round spectacular robotics demos — however taking Physical AI from demo to real-world deployment is a journey that calls for critical engineering muscle. Hammering out the sting instances and attending to scale is 500x the trouble of attending to the primary demo. See our course of for constructing this out for the singulation and induction Physical AI resolution trusted by a number of the world’s main parcel carriers. Here’s to the groups likewise dedicated to the grind towards reliability and scale.

I’m completely charmed by the design of this little robotic.

This video reveals a shortened model of Issey Miyake’s Fly With Me runway present from 2025 Paris Men’s Fashion Week. My collaborators and I introduced two industrial robots to life to be the central characteristic of the minimalist scenography for the Japanese model.
Each ABB IRB 6640 robotic held a two meter sq. piece of material, and moved synchronously in flowing motions to match the emotional timing of the runway present. With solely three-weeks improvement time and three days on-site, I constructed customized dwell coding instruments that opened up the economic robots to extra improvisational workflows. This degree of dependable, real-time management unlocked the pliability wanted by the Issey Miyake workforce to make the required last-minute artistic selections for the present.

Meet Clone’s first musculoskeletal android: Protoclone, essentially the most anatomically correct robotic on the earth. Based on a pure human skeleton, Protoclone is actuated with over 1,000 Myofibers, Clone’s proprietary synthetic muscle know-how.

There are a number of industrially produced humanoid robotic movies from the businesses promoting them, however now that these platforms are coming into the analysis house, we must always begin getting a extra reasonable sense of their capabilities.

Here’s a bit extra footage from RIVR on their house supply robotic.

And now, this.

Robots are on the coronary heart of sci-fi, visions of the longer term, however what if that future is now? And what if these robots, serving to us at work and at house, are merely an extension of the instruments we’ve used for hundreds of thousands of years? That’s what artist and engineer Catie Cuan thinks, and it’s a part of the rationale she teaches robots to bounce. In this episode we meet the individuals on the frontiers of the way forward for robotics and Astro Teller introduces two groundbreaking initiatives, Everyday Robots and Intrinsic, which have superior how robots may work not only for us however with us.
