Get pleasure from in the present day’s movies!
This single-leg robotic is designed to “type a basis for future bipedal robotic improvement,” however personally, I believe it’s good as is.

Promoting 17,000
social robots nonetheless amazes me. Aldebaran will probably be missed.

Good to see some precise difficult shoves as a part of biped testing.
Floor Management made multilegged waves at IEEE’s Worldwide Convention on Robotics and Automation 2025 in Atlanta! We competed within the Startup Pitch Competitors and demoed our robotic at our sales space, on NIST normal terrain, and across the conference. We have been proud to be a finalist for Greatest Expo Demo and take part within the Robotic Parade.
Thanks, Dan!
Humanoid is a U.Ok.-based robotics innovation firm devoted to constructing commercially scalable, dependable and protected robotic options for real-world purposes.
It’s a nifty bootup display, I’ll give them that.

Thanks, Kristina!
Quadrupedal robots have demonstrated exceptional agility and robustness in traversing complicated terrains. Nevertheless, they continue to be restricted in performing object interactions that require sustained contact. On this work, we current LocoTouch, a system that equips quadrupedal robots with tactile sensing to handle a difficult activity on this class: long-distance transport of unsecured cylindrical objects, which usually requires customized mounting mechanisms to keep up stability.

Thanks, Changyi!
On this video, Digit is performing duties autonomously utilizing a whole-body controller for mobile manipulation. This new controller was skilled in simulation, enabling Digit to execute duties whereas navigating new environments and manipulating objects it has by no means encountered earlier than.
Not unhealthy, though it’s price stating that these cabinets will not be consultant of any market I’ve ever been to.

It’s at all times cool to see robots introduced as an incidental resolution to an issue versus, , robots.
The query that you just actually need answered, although, is “Why is there water on the ground?”

Reinforcement learning (RL) has considerably superior the management of physics-based and robotic characters that monitor kinematic reference movement. We suggest a multi-objective reinforcement studying framework that trains a single coverage conditioned on a set of weights, spanning the Pareto entrance of reward trade-offs. Inside this framework, weights might be chosen and tuned after coaching, considerably dashing up iteration time. We show how this improved workflow can be utilized to carry out extremely dynamic motions with a robotic character.
