Take pleasure in immediately’s movies!
Humanoid robots maintain the potential for unparalleled versatility for performing human-like, whole-body abilities. ASAP permits extremely agile motions that had been beforehand troublesome to realize, demonstrating the potential of delta motion studying in bridging simulation and real-world dynamics. These outcomes recommend a promising sim-to-real path for growing extra expressive and agile humanoids.

Large Information: Swiss-Mile is now RIVR! We’re thrilled to unveil our new identity as RIVR, reflecting our evolution from a college spin-off to a world chief in Bodily AI and robotics. In 2025, we’ll be deploying our groundbreaking wheeled-legged robots with main logistics carriers for last-mile supply to set new requirements for effectivity and sustainability.

Robotics is among the finest methods to scale back employee publicity to security dangers. Nonetheless, one of many greatest limitations to adopting robots in these industries is the problem of navigating the rugged terrain present in these environments. UCR’s robots navigate troublesome terrain, debris-strewn flooring, and confined areas with out requiring facility modifications, disrupting current workflows, or compromising schedules, considerably enhancing effectivity whereas holding employees secure.

This paper introduces a security filter to make sure collision avoidance for multirotor aerial robots. The proposed technique permits computational scalability in opposition to 1000’s of constraints and, thus, advanced scenes with quite a few obstacles. We experimentally show its potential to ensure the security of a quadrotor with an onboard LiDAR, working in each indoor and out of doors cluttered environments in opposition to each naive and adversarial nominal insurance policies.
Thanks, Kostas!

Non-prehensile pushing to maneuver and re-orient objects to a objective is a flexible loco-manipulation talent. On this paper, we develop a learning-based controller for a mobile manipulator to maneuver an unknown object to a desired place and yaw orientation by means of a sequence of pushing actions. By our in depth {hardware} experiments, we present that the strategy demonstrates excessive robustness in opposition to unknown objects of various lots, supplies, sizes, and shapes.
