Video Friday: ChatSpot – IEEE Spectrum

[ad_1]

Video Friday is your weekly number of superior robotics movies, collected by your folks at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We additionally put up a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics occasions for the subsequent few months. Please ship us your occasions for inclusion.

IEEE SSRR 2023: 13–15 November 2023, FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN
Humanoids 2023: 12–14 December 2023, AUSTIN, TEXAS.
Cybathlon Challenges: 02 February 2024, ZURICH

Take pleasure in at this time’s movies!

The method of getting Spot to speak with a character may be very cool, however that is additionally one thing that ought to be finished very rigorously: Spot is a software, and though it might sound prefer it thinks and feels, it completely doesn’t. Simply one thing to remember as extra Spots (and different robots) make it out into the wild.

Shhh. Be vewy, vewy quiet.

This video presents the outstanding capabilities of the TALOS robotic because it demonstrates agile and sturdy strolling utilizing Mannequin Predictive Management (MPC) references despatched to a Entire-Physique Inverse Dynamics (WBID) controller developed in collaboration with Dynamograde.

Dr. Hooman Samani from the Artistic Robotics Lab on the College of the Arts London writes, “The thought is to point out how robots will be past conventional use and contain extra folks in robotics comparable to artists as we do at our college. So we made this video to point out how a co-bot can be utilized as a DJ and other people and robots dance collectively to the robotic DJ in a robotic dance celebration!”

Future robots ought to carry out a number of and varied duties, as a substitute of easy pick-and-place operations. On this video, Dino Robotics demonstrates the functionalities of their software program answer: it cooks a steak! Bon Appétit!

This video presents a novel perching and tilting aerial robotic for exact and versatile power-tool work on vertical partitions. The system was developed as a part of the AITHON ETH Zürich Bachelor pupil focus venture and offered at IEEE IROS 2023. It combines a compact built-in perching drone design with a concrete drill’s heavy payload and response forces.

That is what very excessive precision, very helpful robotics seems to be like.

I by no means thought I’d write this sentence, however right here is a few video of a failing robotic mudskipper intercourse doll.

[ Nature ]

Good intention on this drone contemplating that its touchdown pad is dashing alongside at 20 knots.

[ AeroVironment ]

From the folks answerable for the enormous gundam in Japan comes this very massive and really sluggish rideable quadruped factor.

Lava caves on Mars and significantly on the moon should not solely attention-grabbing for exo-geologists and different area scientists, however in addition they might be used as storage rooms and even habitats for future human settlements. The query is the right way to entry and discover these big cavities underneath the lunar floor with out risking the lives of astronauts. That is the place robots, or somewhat groups of robots, come into play.

[ DFKI ]

The rise of current Basis fashions (and functions e.g. ChatGPT) supply an thrilling glimpse into the capabilities of huge deep networks skilled on Web-scale information. On this speak, I’ll briefly talk about among the classes we’ve realized whereas scaling actual robotic information assortment, how we’ve been desirous about Basis fashions, and the way we would bootstrap off of them (and modularity) to make our robots helpful sooner.
