Introducing Redwood-1X’s breakthrough model of AI capable of performing household chores. NEO Gamma is the first AI system to move, understand, and interact autonomously within complex human environments. Redwood, which is built to learn from real world experiences, enables NEO to perform end to end mobile manipulation tasks such as retrieving objects, opening doors, or navigating around the house gracefully. This is all done on top of hardware that has been designed for compliance safety and resilience.

Marek Michalowski hasn’t posted anything to his YouTube channel for 17 years. Until this past week. The new post? It’s a project that was done 10 years ago!
Helix is now able to handle a greater variety of packaging with dexterity, speed and accuracy that are comparable to humans. This brings us closer towards fully autonomous package sorting. This rapid progress highlights the scalability and application of Helix’s learning based robotics.

It’s not a typical Video Friday, but I saw the Broadway musical “Maybe Happy Ending”, a few years ago. The main characters were deprecated humanoid robots who provided home services. It was charming and won the Tony award as best new musical, among other awards.
Boston Dynamics brought a bunch Spots to the “America’s Got Talent” show, and kudos for them for recovering so graciously from a stage failure.
This is the first time that I’ve seen a foot or head end-effector changer.

ChatGPT is now fully Navrim, complete with maximum gloom and existential dread! Watch as the pessimistic ChatGPT robot moves chess piece across a board, contemplating the futility and strategy of chess. Experience how seamlessly AI and robotics blend, even if Navrim insists that there is no point.
Not too bad for $219 total.
A single layer multimodal skin is presented using a highly sensitive hydrogel. We can access up to 863.040 conductive paths across the membrane using electrical impedance imaging techniques. This allows us to identify six distinct multimodal stimuli including human touch, damage and multipoint insulated press. To demonstrate the versatility of our approach, we cast the Hydrogel into the size and shape of an adult human’s hand.

This paperintroduces a novel robotic device that exhibits two distinct modes: rotational aerial flying and terrestrial locomotion. This versatile robot consists of a sturdy frame, two motors and a single fuselage-shaped wing. The robot can take off and land vertically in mono-wing mode. It has the unique ability to fly both clockwise and anticlockwise, which sets it apart from other mono-wings.
