Get pleasure from at the moment’s movies!
This magnetically actuated mushy robotic is maybe barely a robotic by most definitions, however I can’t cease watching it flop round.
On this work, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Ahmet F. Demirörs, and co‐staff from SDU (DK) and ETH (CH) introduce kirigami right into a mushy magnetic sheet to realize bidirectional crawling beneath rotating magnetic fields. Experimentally characterised crawling and deformation profiles, mixed with numerical simulations, reveal programmable movement via modifications in minimize form, magnet orientation, and translational movement. This work presents a easy method towards untethered mushy robots.
Thanks, Ahmad!
Winner of the earliest vacation video is the LARSEN workforce at Inria!

Thanks, Serena!
Despite the fact that that is only a rendering, I actually admire Apptronik being like, “we’re into the humanoid factor, however generally you simply don’t want legs.”

We’re not allowed to debate unmentionables right here at IEEE Spectrum, so I can solely inform you that Digit has began working in a warehouse dealing with, uh, issues.

Not like me, ANYmal can carry out 24/7 in all climate.

Many of the world might want to activate subtitles for this, but it surely’s cool to see how industrial robots can be utilized to make artwork.

I used to be solely 12 when this episode of Scientific American Frontiers aired, however I completely keep in mind Alan Alda assembly Flakey!
And right here’s the section, it’s fairly nice.

In search of to instill college students with real-life workforce expertise via hands-on studying, academics at Central Excessive Faculty in Louisville, Ky., included Spot into their curriculum. For college students at CHS, a magnet faculty for Jefferson County Public Faculties district, getting expertise with an industrial robotic has sparked a ardour for engineering and robotics, kickstarted development into college engineering packages, and constructed lifelong profession expertise. See how college students be taught to function Spot, program new behaviors for the robotic, and encourage their friends with the varsity’s “emotional help robotic” and unofficial mascot.
