A fully electric autonomous tractor that lifts 4 tons, pulls 8 tons, runs 24 hours, and you can repair it in the middle of a field. This is Voltrac. ๐Ÿฆพ Made in Europe ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ How would you design a futuristic autonomous tractor? Voltrac threw out everything and started from scratch. 70% fewer parts. One motor per wheel. Hot-swap batteries. Backwards compatible with any attachment a farmer already owns. Voltrac is more than a tractor, itโ€™s the brain of the farm. One operator supervises multiple tractors across multiple farms. Every drive analyzes the crops, catches disease early, cuts fertilizer costs. And the same hitch that connects to farm tools connects to demining gear and resupply payloads for the front line. Disclaimer: I'm an early investor, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Europe had 70 million farmers in 2020. Projected 7 million by 2030. Our population keeps growing. Everyone still wants to eat. Somebody has to solve this. They build in Valencia, not China. Because the talent, the precision manufacturing, and the know-how are all here. We just forget how good we are. If we don't build this, someone in China will and sell it to European farmers. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ”ฅ Full Video on YT!

This robot explores the world like a mouse! ๐Ÿ That's an OG project, guess the year ;) A mouse-inspired bot called WhiskEye travels the world with 24 artificial whiskers and spiking neurons that mimic a nervous system. Recognizing familiar places is essential for engineering applications like robot navigation, where interactions with the real world are key. Combining information from multiple senses helps to make better accuracy and robustness, but challenges like mismatched data and sensor errors complicate this process. Inspired by how animals navigate seamlessly, researchers developed predictive coding, a self-supervised learning method based on the brain's visual cortex model. It combines visual and tactile cues from a robot, outperforming existing methods in recognizing places, even when some sensors fail.

Robots moving railcars! ๐Ÿšƒ Did you know that KUKA is also in the mobile robots business? Yes, you heard that right. And not just any robots. Robots that carry up to 56 tons! ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผ The railcar production process is highly complex, particularly when moving massive cars sideways within a plant. This challenge has been addressed at the Siemens facility in Germany using the OmniMove system from KUKA. The system allows for precise positioning, enabling the units to lift, move, and lower railcars with remarkable accuracy. With Mecanum wheels, the OmniMove units can move seamlessly in any direction, making the process incredibly efficient. Together, these units are capable of lifting up to 56 tons, streamlining heavy railcar production. This one is clearly tele-operated, but just looking at it makes me feel safer when I see a human in the loop.

A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life. That's the Y-zipper. A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again. The robotics application is the one that caught my attention. A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems. But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes. The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real. ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Unloading trucks with robots! ๐Ÿ“ฆ Bastian Solutions has developed a mobile robot system that automates high-volume, floor-level unloading of trailers. Let's have a closer look at how it actually works! The robot seamlessly drives itself in and out of trailers and docks without any fixed infrastructure. This system picks up cases via an extendable conveyor, lifts them using a retractable mast, and accurately places them inside the trailer using a dedicated gripper. In the video you can see the reversed process, unloading of a truck. ๐Ÿš› It's guided by LiDAR-based navigation and an omnidirectional base, enabling fast, precise, and infrastructure-free operation.

Gravity-defying robot! ๐ŸฆŽ VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot created by Disney Research and ETH Zรผrich that can transition between ground and wall. The robot can move on a wall quickly and with agility. VertiGo has four wheels, two tiltable propellers, and two tiltable propellers. One pair of wheels is steerable, and each propeller has two degrees of freedom for adjusting the direction of thrust. The choice of two propellers rather than one enables a floor-to-wall transition, thrust is applied both towards the wall using the rear propeller and in an upward direction using the front propeller, resulting in a flip onto the wall.

ELON: AGI IS LIKELY TO EMERGE FROM OUR AUTONOMOUS CARS AND HUMANOIDS โ€œWe're not actually specifically focused on AGI. I'm simply saying that AGI seems likely to be an emergent property of what we're doing, because we're creating all these autonomous cars and autonomous humanoids that are actually a truly gigantic data stream that's coming in and being processed. It's by far the most amount of real-world data, and data you can't get by just searching the Internet, because you have to be out there in the world and interacting with people and interacting with the roads. Earth is a big place, and reality is messy and complicated. If you've got tens or hundreds of millions of autonomous vehicles and maybe even a comparable number of humanoids, maybe more than that, on the humanoid front, well, that's just the most amount of data. And if that video is being processed, it just seems likely that the cars will definitely get way better than human drivers, and the humanoid robots will become increasingly indistinguishable from humans, perhaps. And so then, like you said, you have this emergent property of AGI.โ€ Source: Tesla AI Day, September 2022

NEWS: Auroraโ€™s driverless trucks can now run longer than humans drivers are legally allowed. The company said the latest software update to its driverless hardware suite will enable its trucks to drive nonstop from Phoenix to Fort Worth. That trip is roughly 1,000 miles long and takes 15 hours to complete. By contrast, a human driver would legally have to take a 30 minute break after 11 hours of driving. The company currently has five autonomous trucks carrying cargo without safety monitors between Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and El Paso, Texas. By the end of 2026, the startup expects to have over 200 driverless trucks in operation. Their trucks use lidar, radar, and cameras. via InsideEVs

Bremboโ€™s Sensify Braking System is now in series production on vehicles from a major undisclosed global automaker. Sensify is a software controlled, fluid-free brake-by-wire system developed by Brembo. It uses no brake fluid. Instead, it uses electric actuators at each wheel, AI-driven software, and a pedal simulator to deliver customizable and precise braking without hydraulic fluid or a traditional master cylinder. Each wheel has its own motor that squeezes the pads onto the rotors (with redundant windings for safety). Advantages of Sensify: โ€ข Independent electric braking at each wheel with AI for shorter stops and maximum grip. โ€ข Seamless integration with ADAS and autonomous driving systems. โ€ข Eliminates brake fluid, removing maintenance, leaks, and environmental issues. โ€ข Zero brake drag via full pad retraction, improving EV range and reduced wear. โ€ข Fully customizable pedal feel and response through software for any driving mode. โ€ข Faster than hydraulic ABS with better stability in low-grip scenarios. I wonder which car itโ€™s going on. Brembo said annual production volumes with the manufacturer are expected to reach hundreds of thousands.

Simulation-first approach to robotic production lines! ๐Ÿ‘พ At Hannover Messe, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SoftServe are demonstrating a fully autonomous, AI-powered manufacturing workflow. Design a product using generative AI, then watch it move through the entire process: engraving, inspection, and delivery, handled by a mix of robots working together powered by physical AI on AWS. The interesting part is how the system is built. Getting robots into production is usually where things fall apart. SoftServe takes a simulation-first approach using AWS. They build and test the entire system virtually: robot behavior, production flow, before deploying anything physically. This enables faster iteration, safe edge case testing, and significantly reduced sim-to-real gap. Their demo includes AMRs handling transport, cobots doing precise manipulation, AI-driven quality inspection, and humanoid interaction at the end.

"Farm murders are a very serious problem in South Africa. The response to that is to say, 'Well, there are many problems in South Africa, so why are you pointing to this one?' But the fact of the matter is that it's a very unique problem, and it's a problem that could only be prevented or combated by a unique counter strategy. And there are a few things that make the farm murders unique. One is the extreme frequency at which it's happening - just the sheer numbers - thousands of people having been murdered on farms, many of them tortured. In many of those cases, nothing is stolen. They just come in, they torture the farmers for several hours, and then they leave. โ€ฆThe second is the brutality, the high levels of torture that we see. And any torture method you can imagine has been employed in these farm attacks. And it's the most grotesque torture you could think of in many of these cases. โ€ฆThe third is the unique economic impact, because farmers are skilled people, they are employers, they provide food for the country. So, it would have disastrous consequences for the nation at large, and it already has. The fourth is just the fact that farmers live in unique circumstances. They live far away from police stations, far away from their neighbors, oftentimes on dirt roads. Oftentimes thereโ€™s bad cell phone signals. So, that alone says that you need a unique counter strategy to fix this, even though the South African government doesn't want to recognize this. But then on top of this, what makes the farm murders exceptionally unique is that it's a very serious crime phenomenon that is also actively encouraged by politicians." - Ernst Roets

A well-tuned program, an additional seventh axis for extended reach, smart gripper design, and a workpiece reversal mechanism to handle parts without human intervention. This combination is invaluable for automated press brake operation. Cycle time is on fire! ๐Ÿ”ฅ KUKA robots are a solid choice for metal forming. They're built for high-payload, high-precision tasks and have a strong track record in automotive and heavy industry applications where reliability matters the most! :) ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Magnetic levitation for surgical robots! ๐Ÿงฒ A research team working on minimally invasive surgery just introduced a remote magnetic levitation to move things inside our bodies. Their main goal is to control guidewires and catheters inside the body using magnetic fields. But levitation is unstable and extreme, it forces them to solve fundamental control problems they can't avoid. They have to handle strong magnetic field nonlinearities, develop real-time invertible models, and create control methods that work on any eMNS (electroMagnetic Navigation System) and any object. The real challenge is the position and orientation feedback. You can control a magnet outside the body, but once a catheter or drug-delivery robot is inside a patient, you can't see it. There's no vision, but just magnetic fields and current measurements. That's huge news coming out of ETH Zurich! Here's the paper: Mentioned all authors on Li, but coulnd't find them here! ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’
