To see how far we could push Digit to be able to stabilize itself when faced with a disturbance, we set a challenge. Digit is able to adapt to significant disruptions without visual perception, using state-of-the art AI technology and robust physical Intelligence.

The Figure 03 (F.03), battery is a significant advance in our core humanoid robotic technology roadmap.

The safety of this battery is impressive. Two things I would like to note: the battery life is “5 Hours of Run Time at Peak Performance” without specifying what “peak performance ” actually means and 2-Kilowatt Fast Charge still means that it takes over an hour for a full charge.

This is a great idea.

PAPRLE provides a plug-and play robotic limb environment that allows for flexible configuration and control across applications. PAPRLE allows users to use a variety of configurations for leader-follower pairs. In this video, we demonstrate several PAPRLE-supported teleoperation examples.

Thanks, Joohyung!

It’s always nice to see robots with carefully thought-out commercial uses cases where they can do robot stuff just like robots.

Thanks, David!

Our interest is in the deployment of autonomous legged robotics in diverse environments such as industrial facilities or forests. As part of the DigiForest Project, we are developing new systems for autonomously building forest inventories using legged platforms. We have deployed these systems in the UK Finland and Switzerland.

Thanks, Matias!

This research introduces a self healing, biocompatible strain sensing device using Galinstan polymer and a Diels Alder polymer. It is capable of restoring mechanical and sensing function after repeated damage. This highly stretchable, conductive sensor shows strong performance metrics. It has 80% mechanical healing efficacy and 105% gauge factor recover. It is suitable for smart wearable application.

Material flow is the invisible infrastructure that supports hospitals, airports, and cities. We build robots to support people who do this essential and often overlooked work. Watch Brad Porter, our CEO, reflect on what inspired Cobot.

Sneak peak: Our No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS), Defiant unmanned vessel, is designed to operate at sea for up to one year without human intervention. It is being tested in water to prepare it for a long-term demonstration of reliability and durability at sea.

A great name for any vessel.

Ethan Hong, a high school student and robotics researches, was invited to speak at the 22nd International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots. He spoke on the “Robots With Us Panel” and the banquet. Ethan Hong shares his inspiring and heartfelt story about Food Angel, a robot that he built and designed to help people who are homeless in Los Angeles. Ethan was motivated by the growing crises in homelessness and food security. He asked a simple, yet profound question: Why not use robots to assist the unhoused?
