Konkurrenz bekommen Atlas und Tesla Bot aus China. Das Unternehmen Fourier Intelligence hat einen humanoiden Roboter entwickelt, der in der Pflege eingesetzt werden soll.
GR-1 heißt der Roboter, den Fourier Intelligence auf einer Konferenz in Schanghai vorgestellt hat. Er ist 1,65 Meter groß und wiegt 55 Kilogramm. Er könne etwa 50 Kilogramm heben, berichtet die staatliche chinesische Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua – also fast sein eigenes Gewicht.

Ford, best known for its cars, pick-up trucks and SUVs, is experimenting with something totally different: a package-carrying robot.
The automaker announced Tuesday it's testing a robot to carry deliveries from its self-driving cars to customers' doorsteps. Ford is already piloting deliveries with self-driving cars inspired by the popularity of online shopping. But the company found it was sometimes inconvenient for people to walk outside their homes and take a package from a self-driving car waiting at the curb. So it partnered with Agility Robotics, an Albany, Oregon-based startup that makes a human-like robot capable of carrying 40-pound packages.

Künstliche Intelligenzen und Roboter werden in unserem Leben immer selbstverständlicher. Was erwarten wir von den intelligenten Maschinen, wie verändert ihre Präsenz in unserem Alltag und die Interaktion mit ihnen unser Selbstverständnis und unseren Umgang mit anderen Menschen? Müssen wir Roboter als eine Art menschliches Gegenüber anerkennen? Und welche Freiheiten wollen wir den Maschinen einräumen? Es ist dringend an der Zeit, die ethischen und rechtlichen Fragen zu klären.

Ein autonomer Roboter läuft fast wie ein Mensch durch die Gegend und springt über einen Baumstamm. Ein anderer klettert eine Treppe hinauf. Gruselige Videos zeigen die Fähigkeiten aktueller autonomer Roboter.
Der US-Roboterspezialist Boston Dynamics hat seinen zweibeinigen, autonomen Roboter Atlas weiter entwickelt. Der Roboter kann sich nun auch im Freien selbstständig bewegen und dort autonom seinen Weg finden. Atlas ähnelt vom äußern Aufbau her einem Menschen. Wenn man ihn dann wie auf diesem Youtube-Video durch einen Park beziehungsweise Garten joggen sieht, könnte man glatt glauben, dass sich ein menschlicher Jogger als Roboter verkleidet habe.

At Tohoku University, there's now a robot that teaches dance. But the goal isn't to put human dance teachers out of work -- instead, scientists are using the project to gather information on how humans can get comfortably close with with robots. If we're going to spending a lot of time with robots in the future, might as well make it easier.

Japanese engineers unveiled on Wednesday (April 25) a robot that transforms into a car that can actually carry people on board, in what they said was the first-ever such accomplishment in the history of robots.
The 3.7-metre (12.1-feet)-tall two-seater robot "J-deite RIDE" can transform into a sportscar in a process that takes about a minute. It can technically walk at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) or run on its four wheels but developers said they've never really tested it outside the factory cargo bay area.
CEO of Brave Robotics, Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec, an affiliate of the Japanese mobile phone giant SoftBank, and a roller coaster manufacturer Sansei Technologies, said he was motivated by his childhood transformer heroes in anime movies.
While admitting that it may seem like an expensive toy, Ishida said the robot is an attempt to inspire others and broaden the human imagination. Developers said they will begin with utilizing the technology in entertainment industry, such as amusement park and street parades.

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army's Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Using robots to assist humans, especially in conditions that are dangerous is one of the most valuable applications of technology. This Sand Flea, a small robot that can jump 30 feet and is small enough to get in tight spaces is one example.
The department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University have developed a snake-like robot that is able to to squeeze through tight gaps which could prove to be invaluable in search and rescue scenarios.
By using a process known as 'eversion' the tube is able to unfurl itself from the inside using pressurised air. By gently pulling the tube in different directions, the operator is able to manipulate the robot's shape making it easy to navigate past small obstacles.
Allison Okamura, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, said:
"We can make it sneak through very small crevices in order to get access to places where people can't go. And also we can deliver material through the centre of it whether it be a sensor or water, for example, to reach a disaster victim."

Meet Kengoro, a robot modelled after humans who is capable of completing physical exercises.
The humanoid machine can be seen doing push-ups and crunches, and can even play badminton.
Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo's JSK lab has created the robot to closely resemble the anatomy of the human body.
It features sensors in its joints and has over 100 motors that replicate the muscle and skeletal structure found in humans. It's creators believe that Kengoro can help us better understand our bodies and the neural networks that control them through the data it collects when doing exercises.

RoboFly Is the First Flying Insect-Size Robot that Can Soar Without a Tether
If you keep up on tech news, you’ve probably seen a handful of robotic flying insects over the past few years. We’ve even featured a few of them here on Hackster. But, as impressive as those have been, they all “cheat” in the sense that they’re not actually completely self-contained. Because batteries and microcontrollers are heavy, those remain stationary on the ground and connect to the robot itself with tiny wires.

Boston Dynamics, the company voted most likely to spawn the Robopocalypse, has released a pair of new videos showcasing the latest abilities of its synthetic creations.
A freakishly realistic humanoid robot running effortlessly through grassy fields and managing challenging terrain. A dog-like machine autonomously navigating the complex maze of an office and lab facility. What could possibly go wrong?
From previous videos, we know that the humanoid robot Atlas is capable of some incredible physical feats, such as stacking boxes, performing backflips, and occasionally providing some needed comic relief. Up until this point, however, we’ve never seen this bipedal machine do its work outside.

A group of Toyota engineers was inspired by the Japanese manga about basketball and in its free time built a robot that can throw the ideal three-pointer into the basket. After the robot was tested and finalized, the Japanese arranged a test for their pupils - a match with professional basketball players. And he won all.
It is claimed that the robot basketball player was trained with AI, but on video, his behavior looks much simpler: he rolls on wheels and repeats the same movements again and again. However, this uncomplicated and uncreative behavior was enough to defeat several players from the professional league. The robot is simply more consistent and regular in its actions. To win, it is enough just to make fewer mistakes than a person.
"CUE" of humanoid robot who learns shoot form with artificial intelligence (AI). On the 20th in the practice range of Arvalq Tokyo in Fuchu, Tokyo, shoot showdown by cue and A Tokyo players was held. While the queue decided ten consecutive lines, the pair of Zac Balance key player and Ando Ozuya picked up failed in the sixth line. Ando played "I thought he would take off about 1, but ... I feel frustrated.

Die Veranstalter von Olympia 2018 sprechen von den Roboterspielen von Pyeongchang. Das Event soll auch die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Maschine in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Einiges könnte zukunftsweisend sein.
Einmal dieses Feuer zu tragen ist der Traum unzähliger Sportfans. Jedes Mal bewerben sich etliche Begeisterte um einen Moment als Fackelträger, sobald die olympische Flamme ihre lange Reise vom vorigen Veranstaltungsort zum nächsten zurücklegt. Doch diesmal, auf dem Weg ins südkoreanische Pyeongchang, waren die Sekunden des Ruhms noch schwieriger zu kriegen als sonst. Zwei Träger stahlen allen anderen die Show: Sie heißen Hubo und FX-2 und dürften sich weder um ihren Job gerissen noch Stolz verspürt haben. Sie sind zwei von vielen Vorzeigerobotern Südkoreas.
