Get pleasure from at the moment’s movies!
Frequent beetles geared up with microchip backpacks might someday be used to assist search and rescue crews find survivors inside hours as a substitute of days following disasters corresponding to constructing and mine collapses. The College of Queensland’s Dr. Thang Vo-Doan and Analysis Assistant Lachlan Fitzgerald have demonstrated they’ll remotely information darkling beetles (Zophobas morio) fitted with the packs through online game controllers.

Thanks, Thang!
That is our newest work about six-doF hand-based teleoperation for omnidirectional aerial robots, which reveals an intuitive teleoperation system for superior aerial robotic. This work has been offered in 2025 IEEE/RSJ Worldwide Convention on Clever Robots and Techniques (IROS 2025).

Thanks, Moju!
Fairly certain we’ve seen this LimX humanoid earlier than, and we’re seeing it once more proper now, however hey, the primary reveal is simply forward!

Thanks, Jinyan!
Soft robot arms use mushy supplies and constructions to imitate the passive compliance of organic arms that bend and lengthen. Right here, we present how counting on patterning constructions as a substitute of inherent materials properties permits mushy robotic arms to stay compliant whereas constantly transmitting torque to their surroundings. We show a soft robotic arm made out of a pair of mechanical metamaterials that act as compliant constant-velocity joints.

MIT CSAIL researchers mixed GenAI and a physics simulation engine to refine robot designs. The end result: a machine that out-jumped a robotic designed by people.

ARMstrong Dex is a human-scale dual-arm hydraulic robotic beneath growth on the Korea Atomic Power Analysis Institute (KAERI) for disaster response functions. Designed with dimensions much like an grownup human, it combines human-equivalent attain and dexterity with power output that exceeds human bodily capabilities, enabling it to carry out excessive heavy-duty duties in hazardous environments.

This can be a demonstration of in-hand object rotation with Torobo Hand. Torobo Hand is modeled in simulation, and a management coverage is skilled inside a number of hours utilizing large-scale parallel reinforcement learning in Isaac Sim. The skilled coverage might be executed with none extra coaching in each a special simulator (MuJoCo) and on the true Torobo Hand.

Since 2005, Ekso Bionics has been growing and manufacturing exoskeleton bionic devices that may be strapped on as wearable robots to reinforce the energy, mobility, and endurance of troopers, sufferers, and staff. These robots have quite a lot of functions within the medical, army, industrial, and shopper markets, serving to rehabilitation sufferers stroll once more and staff protect their energy.

Sponsored by Raytheon, an RTX enterprise, the 2025 east coast Autonomous Car Competitors was held at XElevate in Northern Virginia. Scholar Engineering Groups from 5 universities participated in a two-semester mission to design, develop, combine, and compete two autonomous vehicles that would establish, talk, and ship a medical equipment with the most effective accuracy and time.
