LimX Dynamics, a Chinese robotics company, just launched a full-size humanoid robot named LimX Oli on its native market. It is capable of many things, including doing some Kung Fu action!
If you’re hearing “humanoid robots” for the first time, you might think this is something that came out of a sci-fi action movie. But for a while now, a company named Agility Robotics have been ambitious and envisioned humanoid robots to officially be part of human daily life. Making it more of a necessity than a luxury.
Here’s something interesting in the world of robotics. In an episode of America’s Got Talent, it features robots named Spot as they performed a live synchronized dance routine to the tune of Queen’s hit song “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Along the middle of the performance, one of the robots suffered a rare hardware failure. Despite this situation and with only a few seconds to make a decision, the show must go one. Four of the robots were able to finish the dance routine in flying colors. The other one was able to able to recover. The crowd went wild.
In the world of Large Behavior Models (LBM)s and humanoid robots, Atlas is getting more development this time, as Boston Dynamics has teamed up with Toyota Research Institute to enable more general and long-horizon manipulation and locomotion behaviors with the robot. In case you are not aware, LBMs are language-condition policies. Which means that related humanoid robots like Atlas can interpret high-level instructions as well as execute complex tasks given to it. Using its vision, whole-body control, proprioception, and relative behavior, it’s expected that there’s more to come when it comes to Atlas. Without further ado, here’s some updates that you need know so far.
There are many ways robots see the world and Boston Dynamics’ Altas has its own unique of way to visualizing in order to do its function and tasks without fail. Here’s how this unique kind of robot vision systems see the world. Atlas has two kinds of awareness features: 2D and 3D. It also has object post estimation called SuperTracker as well as its Hand-Eye Calibration. We will be breaking down everything to you below:
As years go by, robots have become more advanced and mobile. Pretty sure you have seen these everywhere you go. With each having their own specific functions. Boston Dynamics have been a leader of providing such robots. With their continuous rise and demand, it makes you wonder how they function and how they are able to see and analyze particular situations around them. Sounds interesting? Here’s some top three interesting ways how robots see the world.
The versatile humanoid robot produced by Apptronik, ‘Apollo’, is created with the purpose of redefining several industries with the use of its developed mechanization.
ANYbotics, a Swiss-based robotics firm, is becoming an asset in the robotics field with its ‘ANYmal,’ an autonomous quadruped robot, purposeful in industrial
A forefront in the field of merging robots and artificial intelligence (AI) and having the determination to create multifunctional humanoid robots, AgiBot ambitiously bridges
