Take pleasure in as we speak’s movies!
“Sport ist Mord,” as Germans would say. Santa was very formidable to get match for Christmas. Sadly, he had a minor accident whereas climbing on Karlsruhe’s Mount Klotz, so Christmas may be cancelled this 12 months. Will our staff of robotic reindeer, medics, and physiotherapists discover a answer for Santa? We hope all will get their Christmas presents on time! The FZI needs you a Merry Christmas and a Completely happy New Yr!

Thanks, Arne!
This vacation season, Santa’s on a mission! Be a part of the festive enjoyable as our beloved Santa groups up along with his trusty robotic sidekick to unfold cheer and put a cease to any researchers who may be as much as no good with harmless robots from the Robotic Programs Lab. Let’s discover out if there are nonetheless some kind-hearted researchers on the market!

Why do the baubles disappear from the Christmas tree within the College? And what position do our Naos play on this? Let yourselves be stunned and get into the spirit of a Merry Christmas! Humanoids Bonn needs everybody a gorgeous Christmastime!

Thanks, Rugile!
As we bid farewell to this 12 months and welcome the prospects of 2024, United Robtics Group is delighted to share our season’s greetings with you thru this particular video. On this time of festivity and hope, we lengthen our warmest needs for a joyful vacation season and a affluent New Yr to everybody all over the world.
Thanks, Nicolas!
Even units from the laboratories {of electrical} engineers, roboticists and pc scientists might be was musical devices. Of their Christmas video, researchers from CTU’s College of Electrical Engineering exhibit this in an unconventional experiment by “tuning” their expertise to the Christmas tune within the English carol We Want You a Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Jiri!
Season’s greetings from euRobotics!

On this video, we provide you with an unique behind-the-scenes take a look at how our KUKA Austria staff works exhausting to convey you the last word mulled cider expertise. From conception to implementation, the LBR iisy Cobot, which mixes the precision of a robotic with the fervour of a human staff, offers help. A course of that not solely delights the style buds, but additionally redefines the boundaries of robotics.

Santa Claus is on the point of come to city, with just a little little bit of assist from his mates at Flexiv! He made a listing, checked it twice, and fingers crossed, you’ve been good!

Completely happy Holidays from Yaskawa!

We now have created an AI robotic named CyberRunner whose process is to learn to play the favored and extensively accessible labyrinth marble recreation. The labyrinth is a recreation of bodily talent whose objective is to steer a marble from a given begin level to the tip level. In doing so, the participant should stop the ball from falling into any of the holes which are current on the labyrinth board. CyberRunner applies latest advances in model-based reinforcement studying to the bodily world and exploits its capability to make knowledgeable choices about probably profitable behaviors by planning real-world choices and actions into the long run. The training on the real-world labyrinth is performed in 6.06 hours, comprising 1.2 million time steps at a management fee of 55 samples per second. The AI robotic outperforms the beforehand quickest recorded time, achieved by a particularly expert human participant, by over 6 p.c.
In case you’re questioning (like I used to be), shortcutting throughout the maze to skip elements of the monitor is, the truth is, dishonest. The system (like most people) did uncover shortcuts and needed to be explicitly directed to not take them.

Thanks, Markus!
Grain Weevil, one of many extra attention-grabbing single-purpose robots I’ve ever seen, had a busy 2023.

The compilation showcases last undertaking demos from the grasp course ‘Introduction to Delicate Robotics,’ provided by SDU Delicate Robotics throughout Autumn 2023 on the College of Southern Denmark, Odense Campus. This 12 months’s undertaking theme targeted on delicate locomotion. Every staff was tasked with designing a delicate robotic able to navigating a path comprising flat and inclined surfaces, obstacles, and tough terrains.

In 2023, we have been honored to have quite a few purchasers place their belief in us, deploying our quadruped robotic in a wide range of settings. We take pleasure in our dedication to alleviate our purchasers’ challenges, a mission that has been on the coronary heart of DEEPRobotics because the starting. We’ve chosen just a few symbolic instances to share with you, and we hope you discover them as fascinating as we do. Take pleasure in!

Why do knowledge facilities of the long run must be state-of-the-art, and why do we have to apply so many applied sciences to them? There are engineers tackling this very query with robotics, autonomous driving, and AI applied sciences. On this video, they clarify the explanation behind creating the robots and autonomous shuttles of the info heart GAK Sejong.

A captivating historical past of the KR FAMULUS, the world’s first industrial robotic with an electrical motor, which went into service in Augsburg half a century in the past! Beginning with the imaginative and prescient of making robots that may make work and life simpler for individuals, the foundations have been laid for as we speak’s robotic revolution. Richard Schwarz, one of many KUKA pioneers, offers a first-hand account of how, pushed by ardour and the German engineering spirit, they developed the KR Famulus, shaping the expertise shift from cumbersome hydraulic robots to progressive, clear electrical motor robots.
