Video Friday is your weekly choice of superior robotics movies, collected by your mates at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally publish a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the subsequent few months. Please send us your events for inclusion.
Humanoids 2023: 12–14 December 2023, AUSTIN, TEXAS
Cybathlon Challenges: 2 February 2024, ZURICH
Eurobot Open 2024: 8–11 Could 2024, LA ROCHE-SUR-YON, FRANCE
Take pleasure in right now’s movies!
That is such a superb use for autonomous robots: tough, exact work that advantages from accessing plenty of information. Push a button, stand again, and let the robotic utterly reshape your panorama.

Universal Robots launched the UR30 at IREX, in Tokyo, which might raise 30 kilograms—not the 63.5 kg that it says on the tire. That’s the load of the UR30 itself.
Obtainable for preorder now.

In the event you look within the background of this video, there’s an individual sporting an exoskeleton controlling the robotic within the foreground. This is a perfect system for imitation studying, and the robotic is then capable of carry out an analogous activity autonomously.

Thanks, Kento!
The video exhibits highlights from the RoboCup 2023 Humanoid AdultSize competitors in Bordeaux, France. The successful workforce NimbRo relies within the Autonomous Clever Methods lab of College of Bonn, Germany.

This video describes an method to generate advanced, multicontact movement trajectories utilizing consumer steering offered by Digital Actuality. Person enter is helpful to cut back the search area by outlined key body. We present these outcomes on the humanoid robotic, Valkyrie, from NASA Johnson House Middle, in each simulation and on {hardware}.
For the foreseeable future, that is probably going to be mandatory for many robots doing semi-structured duties like trailer unloading: human in (or on) the loop supervision.
In fact, one human can supervise many robots directly, so so long as many of the robots are autonomous more often than not, it’s all good.

The Danish medical expertise start-up ROPCA ApS has launched its first medical product, the arthritis robotic “ARTHUR”, which is already getting used within the first hospitals. It’s based mostly on the light-weight robotic LBR Med and helps the early analysis of rheumatoid arthritis utilizing robot-assisted ultrasound. This ultrasound robotic allows autonomous examination and may thus counteract the scarcity of specialists in drugs. This permits earlier therapy, which is crucial for a very good therapeutic consequence.

Since 2020, KIMLAB has devoted efforts to craft an inexpensive humanoid robotic tailor-made for instructional wants, boasting important options like an ROS-enabled processor and multimodal sensory capabilities. By incorporating a commercially obtainable product, we seamlessly built-in an SBC (Orange PI Lite 2), a digicam, and an IMU to create a cheap humanoid robotic, priced at lower than $700 in whole.

As the latest product launched by WEILAN, the sixth era AlphaDog, specifically BabyAlpha, is outlined as a brand new member of the family of the artificial intelligence period. Designed for home situations, it was born for the aim of offering joyful companionship. Not solely do they possess autonomous feelings and distinct personalities, however in addition they excel in varied expertise akin to singing and dancing, FaceTime calling, English communication, and sports activities.
