Humanoid Figure Achieves Autonomous Task Learning and Performance

Robotics, Science /

Brett Adcock, from Figure, asserted a significant breakthrough in humanoid robotics over the weekend, which he referred to as a “ChatGPT moment.” This revelation becomes clearer as we now understand that the robot has gained the ability to observe human task performances, construct its own comprehension of the procedures, and subsequently execute these tasks autonomously.

Nanorobots Capable of Folding DNA can Replicate Indefinitely

Robotics, Science /

Researchers have showcased a programmable nanoscale robot constructed from a few DNA strands, which can capture other DNA fragments and assemble them to produce new UV-welded nanomachines, including duplicates of itself. In fact, the nanorobots, as reported by New Scientist, are constructed using only four DNA strands and have dimensions of approximately 100 nanometers, allowing

A Robotic Excavator Constructs a Sizable Stone Wall Independently

1 Comment / Robotics, Science /

Constructing a wall by precisely arranging randomly shaped boulders is a task that involves considerable physical and mental effort. This challenging undertaking, ideally suited for automation, has been successfully accomplished by a robot. The robotic entity, known as HEAP (Hydraulic Excavator for an Autonomous Purpose), is essentially a 12-ton Menzi Muck M545 walking excavator that

VRoxy Elevates Telepresence Beyond Visuals and Words

Robotics, Science /

In essence, many telepresence robots are primarily remote-controlled tablets maneuvered through a room. However, the VRoxy system distinguishes itself by mirroring the user’s movements and autonomously navigating to various spots within a designated area. A group of researchers from Cornell and Brown universities is working on developing this system. Design of the Current VRoxy Robot

Progress in Soft Robotics: Robot Overcomes Complex Obstacles

1 Comment / Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Researchers who initially engineered a soft robot capable of maneuvering through basic mazes without external guidance have extended their innovation. They’ve created a “brainless” soft robot to navigate more intricate and dynamic environments. This new soft robot relies on physical intelligence, where its actions are governed by its structural design and materials rather than a computer or
