Enjoy at present’s movies!
We current Morphy, a novel compliant and morphologically conscious flying robotic that integrates sensorized versatile joints in its arms, thus enabling resilient collisions at excessive speeds and the power to squeeze by way of openings narrower than its nominal dimensions.
Morphy represents a brand new class of comfortable flying robots that may facilitate unprecedented resilience by way of improvements each within the “body” and “brain.” The novel comfortable physique can, in flip, allow new avenues for autonomy. Collisions that beforehand needed to be averted have now turn into acceptable dangers, whereas areas which are untraversable for a sure robotic measurement can now be negotiated by way of self-squeezing. These novel bodily interactions with the surroundings may give rise to new varieties of embodied intelligence.

Thanks, Kostas!
Segments of each day coaching for robots pushed by reinforcement studying. Multiple assessments accomplished prematurely for pleasant service people. The coaching consists of some excessive assessments. Please don’t imitate!

Thanks, Noah!
We unveiled a major leap ahead in notion expertise for our humanoid robotic GR-1. The newly tailored pure-vision answer integrates fowl’s-eye view, transformer fashions, and an occupancy community for exact and environment friendly environmental notion.

Thanks, Serin!
LimX Dynamics’ humanoid robotic CL-1 was launched in December 2023. It climbed stairs based mostly on real-time terrain notion, two steps per stair. Four months later, in April 2024, the second demo video showcased CL-1 in the identical situation. It had superior to climb the identical stair, one step per stair.

Thanks, Ou Yan!
New analysis from the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals that programming robots to create their very own groups and voluntarily wait for his or her teammates ends in quicker process completion, with the potential to enhance manufacturing, agriculture, and warehouse automation.

Thanks, Julia!
LASDRA (Large-size Aerial Skeleton with Distributed Rotor Actuation system (ICRA18) is a scalable and modular aerial robotic. It can assume a really slender, lengthy, and dexterous kind issue and could be very light-weight.

We suggest augmenting initially passive buildings constructed from easy repeated cells, with novel lively models to allow dynamic, shape-changing, and robotic purposes. Inspired by metamaterials that may make use of mechanisms, we construct a framework that permits customers to configure cells of this passive construction to permit it to carry out advanced duties.

Meet Heavy Picker, the strongest robotic in bulky-waste sorting and an absolute professional at lifting and sorting waste. With expertise that may make a live performance pianist jealous and a piece ethic that by no means wants espresso breaks, Heavy Picker was looking out for brand new challenges.
