This is our latest work on a hybrid aerial land quadruped robot called Spidar, which shows a unique entry style in the air. This work was presented at the International Conference of the IEEE 2025 on robotics and automation (ICRA).

Thank you, mine!
These gentle robots similar to glasses can go into physically tangled “blobs”, such as Living California Blackworms. Robots and living worms can operate individually and collectively as Blob, performing functions such as directed movement and transport of objects.

Only 3 centimeters high, Zippy, the smallest biped robot in the world, is also autonomous – all the controls, the power and the engine are on board so that it works independently. Moving at 10 leg lengths per second, it is also the fastest two -way robot [relative to its size].

A 3D printed sphere that can transform smoothly on random demand could help researchers improve the way in which underwater vehicles and aircraft maneuver. Inspired by a problem of golf aerodynamics, assistant professor of naval architecture and maritime engineering and mechanical engineering Anchal Sareen and his team applied soft robotic techniques with fluid dynamics to study how the different depths of dimple at different flow speeds could reduce the trail of an underwater vehicle, as well as it missed it without egrs and cuffs.

The use of tools is essential to allow robots to carry out complex tasks of the real world, and the fact of taking advantage of data for using human tools can be decisive for teaching robots. However, the methods of collecting existing data such as teleoperation are slow, subject to control delays and unsuitable for dynamic tasks. On the other hand, the human game – where humans directly perform tasks with tools – natural and unstructured interactions which are both effective and easy to collect. Based on the insight that humans and robots can share the same tools, we offer a framework to transfer knowledge of the use of tools, from human game to robots.

Thank you, Haonan!
UR15 is our new high performance collaborative robot. UR15 is designed for ultimate versatility, combining a light design with a compact imprint to provide unequaled flexibility, even in the most limited environments in space. It reaches an impressive maximum speed of 5 meters per second, which ultimately allows cycle times and increased productivity, and is designed to perform robust tasks while offering speed and precision wherever you need it.

Beginning at the International Conference of the IEEE 2025 on robotics and automation (May 19-23, Atlanta, United States), this interactive artistic installation presents dynamic bipedal robots – composed of helium balloons and articulated legs – becoming freely in a playground shared in the exhibition space. Visitors are invited to engage with robots via Touch, GamePads or a directed air flow, influencing their movement, their lights that change color and their expressive behavior.

Humanoid robots can support human workers in physically demanding environments by performing tasks that require an entire body coordination, such as lifting and transport of heavy objects. These tasks, which we call dynamic mobile manipulation (DMM), require simultaneous control of locomotion, manipulation and posture under dynamic interaction forces. This article presents a DMM teleoperation framework on a humanoid robot with a wheel adjustable in height to transport heavy heavy loads.

Yoshua Bengio – The most cited computer scientist in the world and the “godfather” of artificial intelligence – is deadly concerned about the current technology trajectory. While the AI models take place towards a full-fledged agency, Bengio warns that they have already learned to deceive, cheat, self-preserve and get out of our control. Based on his revolutionary research, he reveals a daring plan to ensure the security of AI and ensure that human development, and not machines with uncontrolled power and autonomy, defines our future.
