Festo's flashy biomimetic robots are more or less glorified tech demos, but that doesn't mean they aren't cool.

Gust MEES's insight:

A group of Toyota engineers was inspired by the Japanese manga about basketball and in its free time built a robot that can throw the ideal three-pointer into the basket. After the robot was tested and finalized, the Japanese arranged a test for their pupils - a match with professional basketball players. And he won all.

It is claimed that the robot basketball player was trained with AI, but on video, his behavior looks much simpler: he rolls on wheels and repeats the same movements again and again.
However, this uncomplicated and uncreative behavior was enough to defeat several players from the professional league. The robot is simply more consistent and regular in its actions. To win, it is enough just to make fewer mistakes than a person.

While the queue decided ten consecutive lines, the pair of Zac Balance key player and Ando Ozuya picked up failed in the sixth line. Ando played "I thought he would take off about 1, but ...

WOW!! Boston Dynamics’ Unsettling Robodog Can Now Escape Through (Unlocked) Doors | #Robotics #STEM | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From gizmodo.com - February 12, 2018 5:18 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

It’s nice to see that Boston Dynamics has continued its ground-breaking robotics research after Alphabet (Google) sold the lab to Japan’s Softbank last year, but why does every video it releases serve to make us more anxious about the future?

A giant robo-dog that helps out around the house sounds like a dream come true. But I can’t imagine much good coming from one that can open the front door with a clever manipulation of its gripping arm and legs.

Harvard University
Published on Nov 27, 2017

Artificial muscles could make soft robots safer and stronger. Researchers at the Wyss Institute, Harvard SEAS, and MIT CSAIL have developed a novel design approach for origami-inspired artificial muscles, capable of lifting 1000x its own weight.

The muscles are made of a compressible skeleton and air or fluid medium encased in a flexible skin, and are powered by pressure difference. The muscle motions are programmed based on the structural geometry of the skeleton. Multi-directional motions can also be programmed into the material. Artificial muscles can also grip, lift, and twist objects.

A variety of materials and fabrication methods can be used to create low-cost artificial muscles. These artificial muscles are fast, light-weight, and powerful, and could be used for miniature medical devices, deployable structures, or wearable robotics.

A humanoid robot carried the Olympic torch in South Korea | #Robotics #STEM | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.engadget.com - December 12, 2017 1:46 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

One of the traditions of the Olympics is the torch relay, in which people carry the flame from Olympia, Greece to the location of the Games. In 2018, the Olympic Games will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the torch relay is currently underway. Earlier this week, the HUBO, the humanoid robot, carried the flame for part of its journey.

HUBO only covered 150 meters (about 500 feet) with the torch, but its presence was largely symbolic. As part of its torch duties, HUBO performed an example of a disaster rescue operation in which it cut a hole in a brick wall (while still holding the torch). It was intended as a "display of innovation and creativity," according to PyeongChang 2018 Organizing Committee President LEE Hee-beom.

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army's Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Using robots to assist humans, especially in conditions that are dangerous is one of the most valuable applications of technology. This Sand Flea, a small robot that can jump 30 feet and is small enough to get in tight spaces is one example.

iRobot spinoff Ava Robotics comes out of stealth mode | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.zdnet.com - March 13, 2018 2:02 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

That's what Ava Robotics, a spinoff of iRobot focusing on collaborative mobile robots for everyday life, says its newly unveiled product offers.

The flagship robot, suitably named Ava, is a roving video conferencing machine designed to beam off-site workers into offices in a more embodied, collaborative way than dial-in or traditional video conferencing.

The company is picking up where iRobot left off with its original telepresence machine, the Ava 500. In 2013, iRobot rolled out the Ava 500 in partnership with Cisco, and for a while, it was considered the cream of the crop in a growing field of telepresence devices.

With a nearly $70,000 price tag, however, the relevance of the Ava 500 has waned with the arrival of cheaper options with similar feature sets.

Einmal dieses Feuer zu tragen ist der Traum unzähliger Sportfans. Jedes Mal bewerben sich etliche Begeisterte um einen Moment als Fackelträger, sobald die olympische Flamme ihre lange Reise vom vorigen Veranstaltungsort zum nächsten zurücklegt. Doch diesmal, auf dem Weg ins südkoreanische Pyeongchang, waren die Sekunden des Ruhms noch schwieriger zu kriegen als sonst. Zwei Träger stahlen allen anderen die Show: Sie heißen Hubo und FX-2 und dürften sich weder um ihren Job gerissen noch Stolz verspürt haben. Sie sind zwei von vielen Vorzeigerobotern Südkoreas.

Gust MEES's insight:

Das New Yorker Unternehmen Emoshape zeigt auf der CES einen Prozessor, der es elektronischen Geräten unter anderem ermöglichen soll, Mitgefühl für Menschen zu empfinden.

Die meisten CES-Besucher, die am Stand von Emoshape vorbeikommen, haben zunächst Schwierigkeiten zu verstehen, was dort gezeigt wird. Zu sehen ist erst einmal nur eine kleine, für rund 250 US-Dollar vorbestellbare USB-Box mit der Bezeichnung "ExoLife Emotion Engine", die über Unity und UE4 VR-Spiele steuern kann. Doch die Box ist nur ein Vehikel für die "Emotion Processing Unit II" (EPU II), einem von EmoShape über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahren entwickelten Prozessor, der in Echtzeit Gefühle von Menschen erkennen und darauf passend reagieren soll.

Erkannt werden dabei laut Entwickler zwölf verschieden Grundemotionen: Angst, Bedauern, Ekel, Erwartung, Freude, Gleichgültigkeit, Traurigkeit, Überraschung, Verlangen, Vertrauen, Zorn und Zuversicht. In verschiedenen Kombinationen und mit unterschiedlichen Abstufungen würden sogar 64 Milliarden emotionale Zustände in Echtzeit erfasst.
