Take pleasure in in the present day’s movies!
For a humanoid robotic to achieve success and generalizable in a manufacturing unit, warehouse, and even at residence requires a complete understanding of the world round it—each the form and the context of the objects and environments the robotic interacts with. To do these duties with agility and adaptableness, Atlas wants an equally agile and adaptable notion system.
What occurs when a bipedal robotic is positioned at the back of a transferring cargo truck with none assist? LimX Dynamics explored this concept in a real-world take a look at. Throughout the take a look at, TRON 1 was positioned within the compartment of a medium-sized truck. The car carried out a collection of demanding maneuvers—sudden stops, speedy acceleration, sharp turns, and lane modifications. With no exterior assist, TRON 1 needed to rely totally on its onboard management system to remain upright, presenting an actual problem for dynamic stability.
Thanks, Jinyan!
We current a quiet, smooth-walking controller for quadruped information robots, addressing key challenges for blind and low-vision (BLV) customers. In contrast to typical controllers, which produce distracting noise and jerky movement, ours allows sluggish, secure, and human-speed strolling—even on stairs. By means of interviews and person research with BLV people, we present that our controller reduces noise by half and considerably improves person acceptance, making quadruped robots a extra viable mobility support.

Thanks, Julia!
RIVR, the chief in bodily AI and robotics, is partnering with Veho to pilot our delivery robots within the coronary heart of Austin, Texas. Designed to resolve the “last-100-yard” problem, our wheeled-legged robots navigate stairs, gates, and real-world terrain to ship parcels on to the doorstep—working alongside human drivers, not changing them.

We could have extra on this robotic shortly, however for now, that is all you should know.
Some fairly superior quadruped parkour right here—haven’t seen the wall working earlier than.

That is enjoyable, and in addition helpful, as a result of it’s all about recovering from unpredictable and forceful impacts.
What’s that transfer at 0:06, although?! Wow.

Perhaps an possibility for all of these social robots that at the moment are not social?
Oh, good, one other robotic I need nowhere close to me.

Whereas this “has change into the primary humanoid robotic to skillfully use chopsticks,” I’m fairly skeptical of the implied autonomy. Additionally, these chopsticks are cheaters.

Seems to be like Westwood Robotics had a enjoyable time at ICRA!
Tessa Lau, CEO and co-founder of Dusty Robotics, delivered a plenary session (keynote) on the 2025 IEEE Worldwide Convention on Robotics & Automation (ICRA) in Could 2025.
