This issue of IEEE Spectrum's "Video Friday" collects multiple robot demonstration videos, covering aerial, ground, underwater, and industrial scenarios. Skydio released the F10 fixed-wing drone, which has an asymmetrical shape and uses a robotic arm to complete autonomous launch and recovery; Unitree showcased a biomimetic dexterous hand, starting at $6,500, and arranged for 19 humanoid robots and 120 dancers to share the stage at the opening ceremony of the WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai, calling it the largest-scale performance by full-size general-purpose humanoid robots.
In addition, Boston Dynamics mechanical engineer Diane Heinle introduced the Stretch endurance test, in which the team simulated years of wear in a short time in the lab; ULOHA applied teaching learning to underwater dual arms, completing collaborative lifting, passing, opening containers, and catching sponges; General Robotics Lab demonstrated an unconventional ball-balancing robot and a robotic hand, and Astribot, LimX Dynamics, Pickle Robot, and others also had demonstrations. The information comes from IEEE Spectrum's original reporting and was compiled by AI.
