Similar to an actual human, Acrobot will typically kick you within the face.

Thanks, Elizabeth!
You had me at “wormlike, limbless robots.”

Filmed in July 2017, this video reveals us utilizing Atlas to place out a “hearth” on our loading dock. This makes use of a mixture of teleoperation and autonomous behaviors via a single, distant laptop. Robotic constructed by Boston Dynamics for the DARPA Robotics Problem in 2013. Software program by IHMC Robotics.
I’d say that in the course of a rainstorm might be the very best time to start out a hearth that you just anticipate to be extinguished by a robotic.

We’re onerous at work, however Atlas nonetheless has time for a dance break.

That is fairly cool: BruBotics is testing its self-healing robotics gripper know-how on industrial grippers from Festo.

Thanks, Bram!

Impressed by caregiving specialists, we proposed a bimanual interactive robotic dressing help scheme, which is unprecedented in earlier analysis. Within the scheme, an interactive robotic joins arms with the human thus supporting/guiding the human within the dressing course of, whereas the dressing robotic performs the dressing process. This work represents a paradigm shift of pondering of the dressing help process from one-robot-to-one-arm to two-robot-to-one-arm.

Thanks, Jihong!
Tony Punnoose Valayil from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Institute of Robotics wrote in to share some very low-cost hand-rehabilitation robots for dwelling use.
On this video, we current a robot-assisted rehabilitation of the wrist joint which may support in restoring the power that has been misplaced throughout the higher limb as a consequence of stroke. This robotic may be very cost-effective and can be utilized for dwelling rehabilitation.
On this video, we current an exoskeleton robotic which can be utilized at dwelling for rehabilitating the index and center fingers of stroke-affected sufferers. This robotic is constructed at a price of fifty euros for sufferers who are usually not financially impartial to get higher remedy.

Some very spectacular work right here from the Norwegian College of Science and Know-how (NTNU), exhibiting a drone monitoring its place utilizing radar and lidar-based odometry in some nightmare (for robots) environments, together with a protracted tunnel that appears the identical all over the place and a hallway stuffed with smoke.
I’m sorry, however individuals ought to actually know higher than to make movies like this for social robotic crowdfunding by now.
It’s on Kickstarter for about $300, and the truth that it’s been funded so shortly tells me that folks have already forgotten in regards to the social robotpocalypse.
