This robot can walk without electronic and by adding the compressed gas cartridge just outside the 3D printing. It can also be printed from a material at a time. Researchers from California San Diego and BASF University explain how they developed in an advanced online broadcast in the Robot Advanced Smart Systems Journal. They used the simplest technology available: Desktop 3D-Writing and ready printing material. This design approach is not only intact, but also cheap – each robot production is about $ 20.

Why do you want a humanoid robot to walk like a human? So it doesn’t look strange, I think it’s hard to imagine that a system that does not have joint and muscle arrangement will only move by trying to imitate us.

I don’t know how to manage, but this little soft robot worm somehow moves with an incredible amount of personality.

Soft actuators are critical for activating soft robots, medical devices and tactile systems. However, many soft actuators require power to limit their potential applications by relying on the harsh circuit for a configuration and control. In this study, the first soft electromagnetic system is shown for externally controlled bistable operation or self -arranged astable release.

Thanks Ellen!

A 180 -degree pelvic rotation will put the “break” into “breaking” if it were a person who did it.

My colleagues were impressed by this cooking robot, but this may be because journalists are always influenced by free food.

This is our last study on the hybrid Air-Classical Four Robot, Spirar, which shows unique and complex movement styles in both air and terrestrial areas, including the push-supported creeping movement. This study was presented in the International Robot Research Symposium (ISRR) in 2024.

If you put a current fish, there is a famous experiment that he starts to swim due to biomechanical design. Somehow, you can do the same with a quadruple robot that has not been applied on a treadmill band.

Since his arrival in Mars in 2012, NASA’s curiosity has been eating Mars Kaya, soil and air examples to better understand the past and present livability of the red planet. Organic molecules that are particularly interesting to search: Building blocks of life. Now, Curiosity’s built -in chemical laboratory has detected long -chain hydrocarbons in a fender called “Servberland olan, the largest organic discovered on Mars.

This Toronto University Robotic Institute seminar is from Sergey Levine in UC Berkeley on the robotic foundation models.

Preventive models have transformed natural language processing, computer view and other fields. In principle, such approaches should be ideal in robots: Since it is possible to collect large amounts of data for any robotic platform and to be difficult to apply, the overall boot models, which provide wide capabilities, offer an ideal recipe for measuring robotic learning for real world applications.
In terms of general AI research, such approaches provide a promising and interesting approach to some of the biggest AI challenges: if large -scale education in embodied experience can provide various physical abilities, this will not only shed light on the basics of designing large talented robots, but also settled problem solving, physical understanding and decision -making. However, recognizing this potential requires a number of challenging obstacles to be handled. What data should we use to train robotic basic models? What will be the education goal? How should be done after alignment or training? In this speech, I will discuss how we can approach some of these difficulties.
