Robotics videos showcase new bipedal bot, NASA missions
IEEE Spectrum·
This week's robotics roundup features the 'Roadrunner,' a novel 15kg bipedal wheeled robot capable of multi-modal locomotion, seamlessly switching between wheel and stepping configurations. NASA's ambitious SkyFall and MoonFall missions are highlighted, aiming to deploy advanced helicopters and drones for scouting and mapping on Mars and the Moon, respectively. The collection also includes innovations like soft electrofluidic fiber muscles for robots and wearables, an open-source quadruped robot named MEVIUS2, and a wristband enabling users to control robotic hands with their own movements. Developments in AI-powered robotics and multi-robot planning are also showcased.
