When it comes to athletic bipedal robots, nothing compares to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot. We’ve seen Atlas run, jump, dance, and do parkour. Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) are getting in on the fun, showcasing its Cassie bipedal robot completing a 5K. The post Watch a Cassie bipedal robot complete a 5K appeared first […]

Xiaomi announced the release of a new quadruped robot called CyberDog. The product is designed to meet the requirements of research engineers and hobbyists who want to develop code and applications for a quadruped robot, but don’t want to pay for a platform like the Boston Dynamics Spot robot (about 1/10th of the cost of […]

GE Research successfully completed year one of a project with the U.S. Army through its Scalable Adaptive Resilient Autonomy Program (SARA). The goal is to develop a risk-aware autonomous ground vehicle that can navigate complex, off-road test conditions. The post Watch GE’s risk-aware autonomous robot navigate through woods appeared first on The Robot Report.

To help researchers build more intelligent robots, Facebook has created and open-sourced a robotics development platform called Droidlet. Facebook researchers wrote in a blog today that Droidlet is a modular, heterogeneous embodied agent architecture, and a platform for building embodied agents, that sits at the intersection of natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. The […]

A team of researchers from the University of Maryland has 3D printed a soft robotic hand that is agile enough to play Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. – and win! Editor’s Note: This article was republished from the University of Maryland. The post Watch a soft robotic hand play Super Mario Bros. appeared first on The […]

Medical Microinstruments (MMI) said its Symani surgical system was successful in a post-traumatic limb reconstruction procedure that saved a patient’s arm from amputation. The reconstruction procedure was performed at Careggi University Hospital Florence by Dr. Marco Innocenti and was the first enrolled patient in the Italy-based company’s post-market study. The post How a surgical robot […]

When NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter hovered above the Red Planet April 19 on its maiden voyage, the moment was hailed as the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. Figuring out how to fly on Mars, where the air is thin but gravity is about a third of that on Earth, took years […]

Basic safety needs in the paleolithic era have largely evolved with the onset of the industrial and cognitive revolutions. We interact a little less with raw materials, and interface a little more with machines. The post Researchers develop human-aware motion planning algorithm appeared first on The Robot Report.

Robo Boston will take place in the innovative Boston Seaport neighborhood on Friday, October 1 and Saturday, October 2, 2021. More than 40 companies and universities will gather to showcase cutting-edge robotics and technology in a series of professional and STEM-related events. The event will include the annual MasRobotics Robot Block Party! Robo Boston will […]

Production, warehouse, shipping – where goods are produced, stored, sorted or packed, picking also takes place. This means that several individual goods are removed from storage units such as boxes or cartons and reassembled. With the FLAIROP (Federated Learning for Robot Picking) project Festo and researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with […]
