- Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up - MIT News
The robot can jump about 20 centimeters into the air, or four times its height, at a lateral speed of about 30 centimeters per second, and has no trouble hopping across ice, wet surfaces, and uneven soil, or even onto a hovering drone All the while, the hopping robot consumes about 60 percent less energy than its flying cousin
- Humanoid robot learns to waltz by mirroring peoples movements
An AI that helps humanoid robots mirror a person’s movement could allow robots to walk, dance and fight in more convincingly human ways The most agile and fluid robotic movements, such as
- This fast and agile robotic insect could someday aid in mechanical . . .
“This new robot platform is a major result from our group and leads to many exciting directions For example, incorporating sensors, batteries, and computing capabilities on this robot will be a central focus in the next three to five years,” Chen says
- Expanding robot perception - MIT News
“I have 2-year-old twin daughters, and I see them manipulating objects, carrying 10 different toys at a time, navigating across cluttered rooms with ease, and quickly adapting to new environments Robot perception cannot yet match what a toddler can do,” Carlone says “But we have new tools in the arsenal And the future is bright ”
- Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar . . .
The robot, which has an arm attached to its back, completed manipulation tasks after practicing for a few hours In one demonstration, the robot learned how to securely place a ball and ring on a slanted table in roughly three hours In another, the algorithm guided the machine to improve at sweeping toys into a bin within about two hours
- Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans . . .
Overall, the robot was able to predict a human’s objective with 90 percent accuracy and to identify relevant objects with 96 percent accuracy The method also improved a robot’s safety, reducing the number of collisions by more than 60 percent, compared to carrying out the same tasks without applying the new method
