Get pleasure from right now’s movies!
We’ve simply relaunched the IEEE Robots Information over at RobotsGuide.com, that includes new robots, new interactives, and a whole redesign from the bottom up. Inform your mates, inform your loved ones, and discover almost 250 robots in photos and movies and detailed info and specs, with tons extra on the way in which!
The qualities that make a knitted sweater comfy and simple to put on are the identical issues that may permit robots to raised work together with people. RobotSweater, developed by a analysis workforce from Carnegie Mellon College’s Robotics Institute, is a machine-knitted textile “pores and skin” that may sense contact and strain.
RobotSweater’s knitted cloth consists of two layers of conductive yarn made with metallic fibers to conduct electrical energy. Sandwiched between the 2 is a net-like, lace-patterned layer. When strain is utilized to the material—say, from somebody touching it—the conductive yarn closes a circuit and is learn by the sensors. Of their analysis, the workforce demonstrated that pushing on a companion robotic outfitted in RobotSweater informed it which technique to transfer or what path to show its head. When used on a robotic arm, RobotSweater allowed a push from an individual’s hand to information the arm’s motion, whereas grabbing the arm informed it to open or shut its gripper. In future analysis, the workforce needs to discover methods to program reactions from the swipe or pinching motions used on a touchscreen.

DEEP Robotics Co. yesterday introduced that it has launched the newest model of its Lite3 robotic canine in Europe. The system combines superior mobility and an open modular construction to serve the training, analysis, and leisure markets, mentioned the Hangzhou, China–primarily based firm.
Lite3’s introduced value is US $2,900. It ships in September.
Estimating terrain traversability in off-road environments requires reasoning about complicated interplay dynamics between the robotic and these terrains. We suggest a way that learns to foretell traversability costmaps by combining exteroceptive environmental data with proprioceptive terrain interplay suggestions in a self-supervised method. We validate our technique in a number of short- and large-scale navigation duties on a big, autonomous all-terrain automobile (ATV) on difficult off-road terrains, and reveal ease of integration on a separate massive floor robotic.
This work can be offered on the IEEE Worldwide Convention on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2023) in London subsequent week.
Thanks, Mateo!
Sheet Steel Employees’ Native Union 104 has launched a coaching course on automating and innovating area structure with the Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter system.
Apptronik has half of its general-purpose robotic able to go!
The opposite half remains to be a piece in progress, however right here’s progress:
A spotted-lanternfly-murdering robotic is my form of murdering robotic.

ANYmal is rated IP67 for water resistance, however this nonetheless terrifies me.
Try the spectacular ankle motion on this humanoid strolling over squishy terrain.
Wing’s progress will be charted alongside the more and more dense environments by which we’ve been in a position to function: from rural farms to calmly populated suburbs to extra dense suburbs to massive metropolitan areas like Brisbane, Australia; Helsinki, Finland; and the Dallas Fort Value metro space in Texas. Earlier this month, we did an illustration supply at Coors Subject–dwelling of the Colorado Rockies–delivering beer (Coors in fact) and peanuts to the sector. Admittedly, it wasn’t on a sport day, however there have been 1,000 folks within the stands having fun with the kickoff social gathering for AUVSI’s annual autonomous methods convention.
