Acceptable facial expressions for Ameca on this video are chosen by GPT-3 . We additionally tried GPT-4; the processing time with 4 was longer and made Ameca seem much less responsive.

Kittens: The enemy of lazy robots all over the place.
I’m very interested in what “<3 Fluffy Pants” is all about.

It is a abstract video of KIMLAB Robotic Demos at UIUC Engineering Open Home 2023.

SRI Worldwide’s newest robotic utility focuses on the mixing of energetic surfaces with a compliant robotic grasper to supply a excessive dexterity and robustness for robotic in-hand manipulation. The grasper can decide up a variety of sizes and form in energy grasps and transfer them round in several axes with out lifting the fingers. The power to reorient objects in an influence grasp supplies distinctive worth to each industrial and home purposes.
Sigh, I want my fingers might do this.

Our new stroll relies on our 2022 stroll. To make sure stability, we use a regulation to switch the allowed rotation velocity of the assist foot’s joints. Thus, the totally different leg elements will nonetheless execute the supposed movement, however based mostly on the middle of mass and the measured rotation errors of the assist foot, some leg elements are slowed down if wanted. Moreover, to deal with extra excessive instances at larger strolling speeds, a neural community is used to foretell future joint-position measurements to calculate future place errors. The robots at the moment are capable of deal with tougher conditions. Additionally, as an unintended impact, the robots elevate up on the tip of the supporting foot, similar to people do.

A movement platform is simply an upside-down quadruped robotic.

That is getting out of hand—now there are two of them!

The little doghouse on this video is tremendous cute.

ORNL researchers examine the results of vitality use on waterways and develop options to restrict water air pollution. This phase demonstrates how scientists use drones to evaluate biodiversity and ecosystem well being.

Increasingly new automobiles come geared up with autonomous driving options. By 2030, an estimated 4 million absolutely autonomous automobiles will journey U.S. roadways. A big problem is guaranteeing these automobiles are protected sufficient to function on public roads.

This GRASP Seminar is from Larry Matthies on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, on “Autonomous mobility in Mars exploration: latest achievements and future prospects.”
This discuss will summarize key latest advances in autonomous floor and aerial mobility for Mars exploration, then talk about potential future missions and expertise wants for Mars and different planetary our bodies. Rover mission ideas not too long ago advised for the moon would drive about 1,500 to 2,000 kilometers in beneath 4 years, which requires vital advances in autonomy. Successors to the Ingenuity helicopter at the moment are beneath growth to be used in a mission deliberate for later this decade to return Mars samples to Earth that Perseverance is gathering. A lot bigger helicopter ideas are being studied to allow carrying bigger science instrument payloads for potential future Mars missions. Robotic floor and aerial automobiles, in addition to drilling techniques for subsurface entry, probably might play a job in NASA’s targets for a human mission to Mars roughly 20 years from now.
