Spiders as robotic grippers? ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ Researchers made a stunning discovery at Rice University. Dead spiders are being used as mechanical grippers. Yes, they use dead spiders as grippers... But how? ๐Ÿ‘€ It turns out that spiders use hydraulics to move their legs. They extend their

Humanoids = stacked actuators. Pure and simple. If you don't understand actuators, you don't understand robots. Actuators are not solved: too heavy, too hot, too inefficient. This is a mega thread on actuator design for humanoid robots, directly from the mind of

Safety in mobile robotics! ๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ Robots navigating through crowds is one of the hardest problems in mobile robotics, uncertainty, human motion, and real-time constraints donโ€™t mix well. A team at @tudelft has introduced DRA-MPPI, a new motion-planning method that lets robots move

How an AMR system actually works! ๐Ÿ” Autonomous mobile robots arenโ€™t just about moving payloads, the real value comes from how the whole workflow is structured around them. This setup from @MilvusRobotics is a good example: We can see a 'home zone'. A staging area where
