Enjoy today’s videos on RoboCup!
Ask yourself this question every time you see an “humanoid” demo in a factory or warehouse: Would a superhumanoid like this be a better solution?
You’ve probably already seen this video.
The Robotics and AI Institute collaborated with Boston Dynamics. RAI also has its own video that is slightly different.

This looks a bit like magic.

Hours of dance battles were fought with professional choreographers. (Yes, real human dancers!) PM01 has now mastered every iconic move in Kung Fu Hustle.

Sanctuary AI demonstrated industry-leading simulation-to-real transfer for our unique high-degree-of-freedom hydraulic hands with high-speed, high-strength, and high-speed manipulation policies.
This video is titled “Introducing BotQ, Figure’s new high-volume production facility for humanoid robotics,” but all I see are some plastic parts being molded and finished.

DEEP Robotics has recently demonstrated its “One-Touch Navigator” feature to enhance the intelligent control of its robotic dog. This feature has two modes: map based point selection and mapping and video based point navigation. These are designed for open terrains or confined spaces. By typing on the tablet screen or selecting a video feed point, the robotic canine can autonomously navigate to a target point. It will automatically plan its path, intelligently avoid obstacles and improve traversal efficiency.
This hurts my legs in different ways.

Why is it that robots have two legs, but humans could have six? So much cuter!
