Take pleasure in at this time’s movies!
MIT engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that may traverse difficult terrains whereas utilizing far much less vitality than an aerial robotic of comparable measurement. This tiny, hopping robotic can leap over tall obstacles and leap throughout slanted or uneven surfaces carrying about 10 occasions extra payload than a similar-sized aerial robotic, opening the door to many new functions.

CubiX is a wire-driven robotic that connects to the atmosphere via wires, with drones used to ascertain these connections. By integrating with varied instruments and a robotic, it performs duties past the constraints of its bodily construction.

Thanks, Shintaro!

I loved the Murderbot books, and the trailer for the TV present truly appears not horrible.

For service robots, with the ability to function an unmodified elevator is way more troublesome (and way more essential) than you may assume.

There’s quite a lot of buzz round spectacular robotics demos — however taking Bodily AI from demo to real-world deployment is a journey that calls for critical engineering muscle. Hammering out the sting circumstances and attending to scale is 500x the trouble of attending to the primary demo. See our course of for constructing this out for the singulation and induction Bodily AI resolution trusted by a number of the world’s main parcel carriers. Right here’s to the groups likewise dedicated to the grind towards reliability and scale.
I’m totally charmed by the design of this little robotic.

This video exhibits a shortened model of Issey Miyake’s Fly With Me runway present from 2025 Paris Males’s Vogue Week. My collaborators and I introduced two industrial robots to life to be the central characteristic of the minimalist scenography for the Japanese model.
Every ABB IRB 6640 robotic held a two meter sq. piece of cloth, and moved synchronously in flowing motions to match the emotional timing of the runway present. With solely three-weeks growth time and three days on-site, I constructed customized dwell coding instruments that opened up the commercial robots to extra improvisational workflows. This stage of dependable, real-time management unlocked the flexibleness wanted by the Issey Miyake crew to make the mandatory last-minute inventive choices for the present.

Meet Clone’s first musculoskeletal android: Protoclone, essentially the most anatomically correct robotic on the earth. Primarily based on a pure human skeleton, Protoclone is actuated with over 1,000 Myofibers, Clone’s proprietary artificial muscle expertise.

There are quite a lot of mass-produced humanoid robot movies from the businesses promoting them, however now that these platforms are coming into the analysis area, we must always begin getting a extra sensible sense of their capabilities.
Right here’s a bit extra footage from RIVR on their house delivery robot.

And now, this.

Robots are on the coronary heart of sci-fi, visions of the longer term, however what if that future is now? And what if these robots, serving to us at work and at house, are merely an extension of the instruments we’ve used for thousands and thousands of years? That’s what artist and engineer Catie Cuan thinks, and it’s a part of the explanation she teaches robots to bounce. On this episode we meet the individuals on the frontiers of the way forward for robotics and Astro Teller introduces two groundbreaking initiatives, On a regular basis Robots and Intrinsic, which have superior how robots may work not only for us however with us.
