An army of more than 4,000 marching doglike robots is a vaguely menacing sight, even in a simulation. But it may point the way for machines to learn new tricks.
From a distance, the resulting scenes resemble an army of ants wriggling across a large area. During training, the robots were able to master walking up and down stairs easily enough; more complex obstacles took longer.
have more physical freedom by wearing robots!
currently under development by panasonic subsidiary atoun, a japan-based company specialized in wearable robots , koma 1.5 is an innovative machine designed for heavy labor. this android is a step toward overcoming human physical limits.
atoun has previously presented other robots that assist humans. model Y has been their most succesful product so far, which we covered here .

New Virtual Obstacle Courses Are Teaching Real Robots How to Walk
A virtual army of 4,000 doglike robots was used to train an algorithm capable of enhancing the legwork of real-world robots, according to an initial report from Wired .
The simulated army was developed by Switzerland-based ETH Zurich researchers, in addition to engineers at the chip-manufacturing company, Nvidia.

ATHENS, Oct 5 (Reuters) - There's a new addition to Greece's postal service: a fleet of yellow robots sorting through the mail.
Fifty-five small, four-wheeled autonomous mobile robots -- or AMR's -- powered by artificial intelligence, glide around Hellenic Post's sorting centre in Athens, speeding up an often arduous process.

Associate Professor Sadhana Ravishankar works in her lab at the University of Arizona on Oct. 6, 2021. Ravishankar is putting spinach into a cleaning solution for testing purposes.
Those are just a few of the technologies developed at the University of Arizona in recent years, but the zeal of the scientists and entrepreneurs working to bring those inventions to market earned special recognition recently.
Carefully Partition Tasks Between Humans, Robots | SME Media
The pandemic has highlighted the challenges of relying on goods manufactured thousands of miles away from the U.S. by a human workforce. It has accentuated the collision of existing cracks in the supply chain and the immediate delivery online shoppers have become used to.
Because we also have ongoing ambiguity around sanctions on commerce between the U.S. and China, we are starting to see a return of the manufacturing of certain goods back to U.S. soil.
Scientists Train Robots to Map and Clean Up Chernobyl: Photos
Part of that refinement, Scott said, was not just measuring radiation, but training the robots to create a 3D map of the area. These maps, overlaid with radiation data, can help more accurately pinpoint the spread and location of radiation.
Automated systems could have a whole range of applications in the industry. One example: Robots trained to detect differences between radioactive waste types could help humans more accurately and safely identify and dispose of nuclear waste—which would also save money in the process.
Robots: Team Cerberus win DARPA underground rescue challenge | New Scientist
A team of flying and walking robots has claimed a $2 million prize for successfully exploring an underground complex as part of a competition run by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) .
DARPA regularly holds contests to encourage fledgling technologies, most notably with self-driving cars – several teams who entered a DARPA challenge in 2005 went on to start companies in the industry.
