Predicting how the environment changes over time is a key task in robotics, enabling all kinds of downstream tasks. Trace Anything is a very interesting look at how you can train models which predict the trajectory each point will take in the future -- you can use this for robot manipulation, video prediction, and more.

Memo is a robot that uses AI to perform household tasks effectively. Today Sunday announced its Series B, and we’re proud to be investors. Training robots for the home is hard — the environment is messy, dynamic, and full of edge cases. So Sunday is training robots directly on real households. Founders Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi built a glove-based system that lets hundreds of contributors record everyday tasks in their own homes, creating high-fidelity demonstrations that feed directly into robot learning. Home robotics will be defined by the companies that learn fastest from real homes. Sunday is building that loop. More here: Aaref Hilaly Amanda Huang

Teaching robots how to paint! 💅🏼 This painting robot, for example, mimics human movements with precision to handle repetitive, and tiring tasks. A special device memorizes points in 3D space, which are then sent to the robot's control. The result? A robot that, after a single demonstration, can perform a given action. Keep in mind that it's taught as 'fixed'. 👨🏻‍🔧 That is, it will not be able to react to an anomaly or changing environment. But ultimately, with fewer workers available and many avoiding tough, dirty jobs, robots are helping industries stay efficient and safe. ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace!

Each weaver ant can pull on a leaf much harder when in a group than when it works alone. The ants’ sticky feet and coordinated legwork, researchers believe, improve the ants’ collective efficiency—a finding that may provide insights into how to build and coordinate swarms of robots that work together.

System ID for legged robots is hard: (1) Discontinuous dynamics and (2) many parameters to identify and hard to "excite" them. SPI-Active is a general tool for legged robot system ID. Key ideas: (1) massively parallel sampling-based optimization, (2) structured parameter space, and (3) active exploration based on Fisher Information to collect the most informative data in real. SPI-Active provides an accurate robot model and effectively reduces the sim2real gap. In sim2real policy learning setting, it outperforms baselines by 42-63% in various quadruped & humanoid tasks. Led by Nikhil Sobanbabu Guanqi He

ANTHROPIC 🔥: A new Managed Projects feature has been spotted in testing on Claude. > Claude takes on tasks and keeps the project organized. > A project is a home for one stream of work. Sessions share memory and instructions so context carries forward, and Claude runs more autonomously. Projects only create and manage cloud sessions. This feature may be built on top of Claude Managed Agents, where each project gets a dedicated cloud environment so Claude can execute periodic tasks and refine project context via "Dreams". It could also be a successor to Conway, which is set to be removed this Friday internally.

Force feedback demo Force feedback is when joystick is pushing on your hand when something is pushing on the robot arm. Feeling the force - so much helpful to control the robot, that done well it allows you to do tasks even without visual feed. You can make an experiment: close your eyes - you can easily get the headphones out of the case. Also, visual information is often not enough. For example, you're trying to pull out a usb connector, but you pull it at the wrong angle, causing it to get stuck. Visually, nothing changes, but the pressure is intense and you can break the connector. Surgical robots have been using force feedback for years, and there are also 3D styluses which use this feature, proving that the technology works and is useful. But in modern robots with AI, it's hardly ever implemented. Although it's useful for both teleoperation and AI model. That's one of the reasons why we are building our robotic arms starting with off the shelf motors rather than taking the whole off the shelf arm. There are still a range of easy wins that can be made iterating robot hardware.

E pluribus unum – “out of many, one” – is not only a motto for the United States. It’s a good credo for microrobots. A research collaboration between Cornell and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has shown how a swarm of microrobots spinning on a water surface can together generate the fluidic torque needed to manipulate passive structures without any physical contact. This collective behavior was demonstrated to operate gears and move objects, with the aim of eventually performing microscale tasks and biomedical procedures. “At small scales, contact-based manipulation can be limiting, and flow-based manipulation offers a great alternative,” said Kirstin Petersen, associate professor and an Aref and Manon Lahham Faculty Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Cornell Duffield College of Engineering and the paper’s co-senior author. “We’re showing that in spite of their size, adding more microrobots creates stronger flows and greater torque transfer.” The research published Feb. 25 in Science Advances. The lead author is Steven Ceron, Ph.D. ’22, now an assistant professor at the University of Michigan. More:

High fidelity visuomotor data from handheld grippers or data capture gloves provide the most valuable robot learning data. This data collection modality achieves the best balance of trade-offs compared to teleop, master–slave devices (e.g., ALOHA), and egocentric cameras. They’re portable, intuitive, low-cost/scalable, and directly transferable to robots. They don’t require expensive robot hardware (like teleop or master–slave devices), and they avoid morphology mismatch and occlusion issues (egocentric cameras). This new handheld gripper improves on the original UMI gripper with a few advantages: •A “Robotiq”-style finger linkage enables parallel-jaw grasps without the bulky linear rail •Quick-disconnect swappable fingertips for diverse tasks •A touchscreen enables real-time data auditing/labeling •Stereo cameras provide depth information •A microphone which can capture haptic contact information and natural language annotations •An “action” button under the trigger finger to easily start/stop recording demonstrations
