HAMR-JR is only slightly bigger in length and width than a penny, making it one of the smallest yet highly capable, high-speed insect-scale robots. (Credit: Kaushik Jayaram/Harvard SEAS) This itsy-bitsy robot can’t climb up the waterspout yet but it can run, jump, carry heavy payloads and turn on a dime. Dubbed HAMR-JR, this microrobot developed […]
From raycast accelerator research paper. Source: Intel Robots and other “intelligent” devices need a lot of computational power for machine vision, path planning, manipulation, and other functions. One alternative to trying to put all that capacity onboard was to move some of it to the cloud, but new data management techniques and processors are enabling […]
