This is beautiful. I've been wanting this combination of locomotion for a long time (Actually, since I was introduced to Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell). This has much promise as it truly leverages the benefits of wheels (speed) with the stepping ability of legs. In my design, I would use mechanical brakes to lock the wheels while stepping/climbing etc. though. #ethzurich #roboticsystemslab #anymal #tachikoma #mobilerobots #engineering #software #locomotioncontrol https://lnkd.in/eMneXH2E

Using MidOpt® Neutral Density Filters with drone cameras can significantly improve the quality and creative potential of aerial photography and videography by balancing exposure, maintaining depth of field, reducing glare and allowing for smoother motion capture, and enhanced visual aesthetics. The Ni Series filters also perform well in the Visible range and in the NIR (Near-Infrared) range up to 2000nm.

The creation of robotic creatures like dinosaurs for amusement parks and films showcases the incredible advancements in robotics and automation. Companies like Sally Dark Ride, Heimotion, and Garner Holt Productions specialize in this field, focusing on the design and programming of these life-like figures. Each robotic model, often controlled remotely via cables or radio control, features intricate mechanisms and latex skin to achieve a highly realistic appearance. The most advanced models use radio-controlled servomotors, allowing precise movements that can be recorded and replayed by the computer. This ensures a seamless and repeatable performance, whether for a film or theme park ride. Disney's innovation in audio-animatronics synchronizes robot movements with soundtracks, revolutionizing the way we experience rides and attractions. Such technologies are now integral to science fiction films and scenic rides in amusement parks, blending entertainment with engineering precision.

The Dream Machine - 3107 #AIArt Prompt: Generate a simplified image that blends Gothic architecture with modern technology. The Gothic architecture could include ornate spires, pointed arches, and intricate details, while the technology aspect could showcase futuristic devices such as holographic screens, autonomous vehicles, and advanced robotics. The scenery should evoke feelings of excitement and intrigue. The color scheme could lean toward the darker side to match the Gothic style, with pops of neon to represent technology.

Innovations such as Robotic Sanding are transforming the construction industry, making it safer, more efficient, and less reliant on manual labor. The future looks promising with the potential of robotics to transform construction into a more technologically advanced and less hazardous field.

RGo Robotics Perception Engine is proven in both #indoor & #outdoor environments in nearly all #industrial, #commercial and #consumer applications. As shown in this video, Perception Engine, using #single #camera and #neural #network trained on wide variety of lawns, can reliably and quickly identify #freespace for mowing, detect the #edge of the #lawn even in complex #gardens, dynamically identify humans and other #obstacles and mark them as areas that the mower should avoid. Gaining location aware 3D spatial understanding of the area around the autonomous mower enables it to behave intelligently and apply #advancedAI capabilities to make it more productive, safer and easier to use Learn more about how RGo Robotics can take your autonomous robot to the next level -  

Tiny robots that swim through our blood to deliver drugs or hunt down pathogens have been a staple of science fiction for decades. Although still distant, that vision is a step closer to reality now that electrical engineers have unveiled swimming microrobots smaller than grains of sand with enough computing power to perform a simple task on their own—rather than being constantly guided by external signals. “It’s awesome,” says Daniel Goldman, a physicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology who specializes in larger robots that mimic animals. He was not involved in the work, which was reported this week here at a meeting of the American Physical Society. “Clearly, they’re putting together infrastructure so that one can start to make potentially autonomous, microscale robots.” Realizing the ambition of autonomous microrobots has been difficult for several reasons, says Marc Miskin, an electrical engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) whose group created the new bots. Making a microrobot autonomous requires incorporating some sort of computer, and only in about 2020 did the size of the smallest computer sink below 1 millimeter, Miskin says. “Computing systems were just a little too big until just 5 or 6 years ago,” he says. Moreover, making the microelectronics mesh with the robot’s mechanical systems is difficult, as is getting the whole thing to run on miniscule amounts of power. #microrobots #👍👍 #👏👏
