A recent T-RO paper from researchers Korea Science Academy of KAIST College of Engineering illustrates how to simplify the training of reinforcement learning policies by proposing a novel approach that they apply to a variety of legged robotic systems. https://lnkd.in/gDHWVh4e Paper title: Not Only Rewards But Also Constraints: Applications on Legged Robot Locomotion Authors: Yunho Kim, Hyunsik Oh, Jeonghyun Lee, Jinhyeok Choi, Gwanghyeon Ji, MOONKYU JUNG, donghoon Youm, and Jemin Hwangbo #LeggedRobots #NeuralNetworks #QuadrupedalRobots

Our Yu 5 Industrial made its TV debut!      As part of the series alpha Uni, the robotic arm was shown by the educational channel ARD Alpha.       alpha Uni helps young students and graduates to peek into different professions and degree programs. This time, they delved into the robotics program at Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Kempten and shadowed one of its students. In this context, they also went to this year’s Makeathon.       That’s where the protagonist Yusuf and our Yu 5 Industrial met. Within the given time, he and his team managed to use our robot to program a complex industrial task.       If you would like to see our robots in action or learn more about the robotics degree program at Hochschule Kempten, watch the video below.       Enjoy!      https://lnkd.in/duQHFMyj #innovation #technology #creativity #robotics

Project #Gr00t at NVIDIA combines the #Metaverse, #AI and #Robotics into a continuous learning and development cycle. Each discovery #accelerates not just one stream but the whole program. At this scale, this is *new*. Keep watching. https://lnkd.in/e5c-_TNR

Attending the 2024 ARM Institute Member Meeting. The one and only Alex Shikany is sharing industry trends and insights is always a great/must see update. If you haven't checked out the ARM Institute, it is a great forum for early companies, smalls, researchers and big companies to share needs and ideas. A great place to leverage #opensource to make a difference in future #robotics capability.

In our latest article published in the International Journal of Social Robotics (SORO), we conducted a systematic literature review of 134 articles on Human-Robot Companionship (HRC). We present how this domain is developing, in which direction, and what the future might hold for HRC. #HRC #HCI #academic #paper #InternationalJournalofSocialRobotics #researcher

Did you know?... In 2010, Yushin Japan developed the high-speed HSA robot with design optimization technology, in a joint research project with a university. It was presented at K show in Germany and introduced as the fastest robot in the world in a news article. It also won the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) Medal for New Technology. Since then, Yushin has intensified its joint research with universities. #DidYouKnow #FactOfTheDay #AboutYushin #Robotics #Robot #Automation #Engineering #Development #ProductDevelopment #Technology #BespokeApplication #ProductDesign

RO-MAN is in 6 Days! 🥳 The 33rd RO-MAN theme is “Embracing Human-Centered Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI)”. 🦾 With the continuous technological effort of understanding human needs, creating human-desired robotic systems, and developing real human user experiences, we are marching together towards building a promising and excellent human quality of life, all for our wellness and our next generation. 💡The conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss a variety of topics related to the broad theme of Robot and Human Interactive Communication involving theories, methodologies, technologies, empirical and experimental studies, and generate more insights for the future of Robot and Human Interactive Communication! #Robotics #Engineering #ROMAN2024 #HRI

Who is going to win worlds race for the best humanoid robot? I think it will not be the one with the best joints and motors but the company that masters these challenges best: 1️⃣ Train robot movements for the highest variation of tasks in the virtual world with synthetic data! 🥇 This will be likely the company that has the most money and/or best access to GPUs (like the race for the largest LLMs) 2️⃣ Monetize the early roll-out best! 🥇 This will be the company that provides the first competitive use case that can be sold to many customers (like #openAI with #ChatGPT) 3️⃣ Master production in scale for the robots in a factory at low cost! 🥇This will be the company with the highest backing of their home country, the best supplier network for the components and the best knowledge for mass production Which companies have the best chance to win?🏆 🏆🏆 Comment 👇👇👇 🇪🇺for #Neura, #1XNEO 🇺🇸for #AgilityRobotics, #Tesla, #Figure, #Apptronik, #BostonDynamics 🇨🇳for #Keppler, #Xiaomi, #Fourier, #Unitree
