With 28 shifting joints (20 QDD actuators + 8 servo motors), Cosmo can stroll with its two toes with a pace of as much as 1 m/s (0.5 m/s nominal) and steadiness itself even when pushed. Coordinated with the movement of its head, fingers, legs and arms, Cosmo has a loud and expressive voice for efficient interplay with people. Cosmo speaks in canned phrases from the 90’s cartoon he originates from and his speech may be absolutely localized in any language.

RoboCake is prepared. This edible robotic cake is the results of a collaboration between researchers from EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Know-how in Lausanne), the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Know-how) and pastry cooks and meals scientists from EHL in Lausanne. It takes the type of a robotic wedding ceremony cake, adorned with two gummy robotic bears and edible darkish chocolate batteries that energy the candles.

ROBOTERA’s absolutely self-developed five-finger dexterous hand has upgraded its expertise, remodeling into an esports hand within the blink of a watch! The XHAND1 options 12 lively levels of freedom, pioneering an industry-first absolutely direct-drive joint design. It presents distinctive flexibility and sensitivity, effortlessly dealing with precision duties like finger opposition, selecting up comfortable objects, and grabbing playing cards. Moreover, it delivers highly effective grip energy with a most payload of almost 25 kilograms, making it adaptable to a variety of complicated software situations.

How can we guarantee robots utilizing foundation models, similar to large language models (LLMs), received’t “hallucinate” when executing duties in complicated, beforehand unseen environments? Our Protected and Assured Basis Robots for Open Environments (SAFRON) Superior Analysis Idea (ARC) seeks concepts to verify robots behave solely as directed & supposed.

What if doing all of your chores had been as simple as flipping a swap? On this discuss and stay demo, roboticist and founding father of 1X Bernt Børnich introduces NEO, a humanoid robotic designed that will help you out round the home. Watch as NEO reveals off its capacity to hoover, water vegetation and maintain you firm, whereas Børnich tells the story of its improvement — and shares a imaginative and prescient for robotic helpers that would liberate your time to give attention to what actually issues.
Rodney Brooks gave a keynote on the Stanford HAI spring convention on Robotics in a Human-Centered World.
There are a bunch of wonderful talks from this convention on YouTube on the hyperlink under, however I feel this panel is particularly good, as a dialogue of going from from analysis to real-world influence.
