Collaborate Disseminate
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers have developed H2O – Human2HumanOid – a reinforcement learning-based framework that allows a full-sized humanoid robot to be teleoperated by a human in real-time using only an RGB camera. Which begs the ques… Continue reading How blue-collar workers will train the humanoids that take their jobs
A number of companies are now running remote-control rental car services, in which “teledrivers” guide an empty car out to you by remote control, and then you drive it around yourself. It’s a weird halfway step towards fully autonomous robotaxis.Contin… Continue reading Remote-control rental cars: Not as driverless as they look
Eugene-based electric mobility company Arcimoto has teamed up with Silicon Valley autonomous driving startup Faction Technology to transform its three-wheeled electric Fun Utility Vehicle into a “driverless” pod for last-mile deliveries.Continue Readin… Continue reading Arcimoto trials driverless delivery pod based on three-wheeled electric FUV
As folks start to slowly emerge from pandemic lockdown and return to work, many are on the lookout for public transport alternatives. A scheme launched in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, aims to make it easier to ride an electric scooter by having it roll … Continue reading Fleet of teleoperated e-scooters ready to ride in Georgia
Telerobotic systems already allow surgeons in one location to control robotic surgical tools in another, so they can perform operations at a distance. A new proximity-sensing system, however, could make such procedures safer and more precise than ever…. Continue reading Telerobotics tech designed to give surgeons a lighter touch
If you were trying to remotely operate a robotic hand, it would certainly makes things easier if you could feel what it was touching. Such a system was demonstrated this week at the Amazon re:MARS Tech Showcase, utilizing technology from thre… Continue reading Touch-transmitting robotic hand gets its first public demo
