That laundry-folding robot we've been working on for 15 years still doesn't exist.
Honestly I think Figure could learn a few tricks from vintage University of California at Berkeley PR2Although.

Tensegrity robots are so cool, but so difficult – it's nice to see progress.
Next week we'll find out how fast it is.

We present a methodology for optimizing multirotor design for specific tasks. Micro Air Vehicles. Using reinforcement learning, Bayesian Optimization and development strategy for adaptation of the covariance matrix We optimize the designs of aerial robots, guided only by their closed-loop characteristics in the problem under consideration. Our approach systematically explores the design space of engine position configurations while ensuring manufacturability constraints and minimal aerodynamic interference. The results show that the optimized designs provide superior performance over traditional multi-rotor configurations in fast waypoint navigation applications, including when compared to fully powered designs from the literature. We build and test one of the optimized designs in the real world to test the transferability of our approach to sim2real.

Thank you, Kostas!
I think this inspection will require legs because there are stairs at the very beginning? But sometimes that's just how the world works.

Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics V DLR has a long tradition of developing multi-fingered hands, creating new mechatronic concepts, and autonomous grasping and manipulation capabilities. Hand range extends from Rotex, the first two-fingered capture for space applications – to the very anthropomorphic Awiwi Hand and variable stiffness end effectors. This video summarizes DLR's developments in this area over the past 30 years, starting with the Rotex experiment in 1993.

Serious question: why not? humanoid robots sit down more often?

NASA researchers are currently using wind tunnel and flight testing to collect data on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eGDP) a reduced-size small airplane resembling air taxi which aircraft manufacturers can use in their designs. By using a smaller version of the full-size aircraft called the RAVEN Subscale Wind Tunnel and Flight Test (RAVEN SWFT), NASA can conduct testing quickly and cost-effectively.

This summer, a team of robots explored a simulated Martian landscape in Germanyremotely controlled by an astronaut on board a spacecraft International Space Station. This was the fourth and final session of the “Surface Avatar” experiment created as a result of the collaboration ESA And German Aerospace Center (DLR) to develop how astronauts can control robotic teams to perform complex tasks on Moon And Mars.
