With the AI explosion comes the rise of robots because now they can behave more semantically smart in our human fuzzy environments. It’s unavoidable that people will try to make anthropomorphic androids (humanoid). There is this old fascination we seem to have with ourselves... :) But before they cross the uncanny valley it will take a while. Until then most people will just find them creepy. Meanwhile, animation studios like Disney, Lucas Film and Pixar have been pushing serious research on human/robot interactions for a while. The emotional factor coming from life like behaviors has much more value for adoption than any humanoid robot will have for a while. Word of advice to product managers heading into robotics. It’s more about the feel than the looks. ;)

#DisruptiveTech Eye to the future: A team of engineers and roboticists at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has developed an electronic compound eye design to give robots the ability to swarm efficiently and inexpensively. In their paper published in the journal Science Robotics, the group describes the inspiration for the design and how well it worked when tested in a flying robot. Most robot eyes are based on the standard camera concept—images are captured using a lens that allows for high-resolution processing. But this approach is expensive. For that reason, roboticists seek to build robots with compound eyes, similar to those found in many insects. Compound eyes, as the name suggests, have multiple small lenses covering a hemisphere—in insects, the images are stitched together in the brain, allowing the insect to see. Doing the same with electronic eyes has proven to be a formidable task because of the problem of affixing flat lenses onto a curved surface. The team in Hong Kong has overcome this problem with a completely different approach. #optical #robots #robotics Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

"The robot known as ANYmal has, for some time, had no problem coping with the stony terrain of Swiss hiking trails. Now researchers at ETH Zurich have taught this quadrupedal robot some new skills: It is proving rather adept at parkour, a sport based on using athletic maneuvers to smoothly negotiate obstacles in an urban environment, which has become very popular. ANYmal is also proficient at dealing with the tricky terrain commonly found on building sites or in disaster areas." #robotics #robots

Exploring the Future : Recent updates on Robotics

The cool autonomous robots of 2023. My take: As important as the developments in #generatieveai is the amazing advancements in autonomous robots. True autonomous robots are intelligent machines that can perform tasks and operate in an environment independently, without human control or intervention. In the coming years, they will disrupt and reshape areas like logistics and warehousing, manufacturing, healthcare, biopharma R&D etc. Here is a cool list from NVIDIA featuring: - Ella, a smart stroller from Glüxkind | Techstars '23 - Food packer from Soft Robotics Inc. - QA inspection robot from TECHMAN ROBOT - Uncrewed watercraft from Saildrone Inc - Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot, or M4 - the next gen Mars rover from Caltech - Delivery drone from Zipline #ai #robotics #autonomousrobots https://lnkd.in/e8GKbfyN
