Take pleasure in at present’s movies!
Fourier’s First Care-bot GR-3. This full-size “Care-bot” is designed for interactive companion. Its soft-touch outer shell and multimodal emotional interplay system convey the idea of “heat tech companionship” to life.
I like that it’s soft to the touch, though I’m unsure that encouraging contact is secure. Jogs my memory just a little little bit of Valkyrie, the place NASA put plenty of thought into the gentle features of the robotic.

This 112 gram micro air vehicle (MAV) options foldable propeller arms that may lock right into a compact rectangular profile akin to the scale of a smartphone. The automobile will be launched by merely throwing it within the air, at which level the arms would unfold and autonomously stabilize to a hovering state. A number of flight assessments demonstrated the aptitude of the suggestions controller to stabilize the MAV from completely different preliminary circumstances together with tumbling charges of as much as 2500 deg/s.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with NASA, is advancing space robotics by deploying reinforcement learning algorithms onto Astrobee, a free-flying robotic assistant on board the International space station. This video highlights how NRL researchers are leveraging artificial intelligence to allow robots to study, adapt, and carry out duties autonomously. By integrating reinforcement studying, Astrobee can enhance maneuverability and optimize vitality use.
