Reachy Mini is an expressive and open-source robot designed for the interaction of human robot, creative coding and IA experimentation. Completely programmable in Python (and soon JavaScript, Scratch) and at a price of $ 299, it’s your gateway in Robotics AI: fun, customizable and ready to be part of your next coding project.

I’m so happy that Pollen and Reachy have found a house with an embroidered face, but I hope they understand that they are never, never allowed to change the face of this robot. Oo

Robots for general use promise a future where household help is omnipresent and aging in place is supported by reliable and intelligent aid. These robots will unlock human potential by allowing people to shape and interact with the physical world new transformative ways. At the heart of this transformation are large models of behavior (LBMS) – embodied AI systems that take robot sensor data and output actions. The LBMs are pre-trained on large sets of various manipulation data and offer the key to achieving robust and general use robotic intelligence. However, despite their growing popularity, we always know surprisingly little about what today’s LBMs really offer – and at what price. This uncertainty stems from the difficulty of carrying out rigorous and large -scale evaluations in the robotics of the real world. Consequently, progress in algorithm and the design of the data set is often guided by intuition rather than evidence, hampering progress. Our work aims to change this.

Kinisi Robotics advances the border of physical intelligence by developing robotic platforms focused on AI capable of high-speed autonomous pick-and-place operations in unstructured environments. This video highlights the latest human -based humanoid kinisi carrying out a stack of bins and sorting of bins and elements using the perception and movement planning in closed loop. The system combines wide-band activation, multi-firing coordination and real-time vision to achieve robust handling without recourse to fixed infrastructure. By integrating personalized equipment with on -board intelligence, Kinisi allows an evolutionary deployment of robots for general use in the parameters of the dynamic warehouse, pushing towards a wider commercial preparation for the embodied AI systems.

Thank you, Bren!

In this work, we develop a data collection system where human and robot data is collected and unified in a shared space, and propose a modularized cross-transformer which is pre-trained on human data and refined on robot data. This allows an efficiency of high data and an effective transfer of human -to -quadruped human production methods, facilitating versatile handling skills for non -immanual and bimanual, non -power and prehensil tools, a precise use of tools and long horizon tasks, such as the punch of cat litter!

Thank you, yaru!

Leiyn is a quadruped robot equipped with an active size seal. He achieves the fastest climbing in the world through dynamic movements learned by learning strengthening.

Thank you, Keita!

Quadruped robots are really only bipedal robots that have not yet learned to walk on two legs.

This study introduces a biomimetic self-care module for tendon-driven leg robots that use the robot movement to activate the liquid metal shift, which eliminates surface oxides and considerably improves healing resistance. Validated on a life-size monopod robot, the module allows repeated overlapping after impact damage, marking the first demonstration of an active self-healing in high-load robotic applications.

Thank you, Kento!

Everything that puts wheels on quadruped robots was a great idea that someone had the way back when.

I know nothing about this video, except that it is very satisfactory and comes from a YouTube account which has not published for 6 years.

Our AI worker is now available in a new swerve player configuration, optimized for logistics environments. With its agile and omnidirectional movement, the mobile SWERVE type base can effectively perform various logistical tasks such as transporting items, navigation on the shelves and precise positioning in narrow aisles.

Wait, can you have a bimanuel humanoid without legs? I am shocked.

[ ROBOTIS ]

I can’t say if I need an office assistant or if I just need snacks.

I am not quite sure that going from Norway to California is an upgrade, honestly.
