Nvidia's Robotic Platform
By continuing to add more computing capabilities for AI on edge devices with NVIDIA Jetson, and more tools and platforms to accelerate robotics development, like Isaac and the Jetson robotics reference platforms, we can help researchers and companies build robots that are more capable, less expensive, and safer to deploy.
CMU's interactive tool helps novices and experts make custom robots
Phys.org: A new interactive design tool developed by CMU's Robotics Institute enables both novices and experts to build customized legged or wheeled robots using 3D-printed components and off-the-shelf actuators.
Machines and Robots Driven by Muscle Like Acting NiTi Alloys
The biomechanically inspired machine that is discussed in this paper refers to the antagonistic muscles pairs, which belongs to the Skeletal Muscles and are normally arranged in opposition so that as one group of muscles contract another group relaxes or lengthens.
DARPA taps Boeing for unmanned reusable spaceplane
Ross Wilkers for Washington Technology: Boeing has emerged as the winner of a DARPAcompetition to design and test an unmanned reusable spaceplane.
Robotics Ignite Agricultural Revolution
Advanced robotics will make jobs such as harvesting easier for farmers. In time, when robots finally learn how to harvest each individual crop, farms will be able to produce more yields for human consumption.
Meet the Robotics Wiz Behind Old Spice's Giant Mechanical Sea Creature
David Gianatasio for AdWeek: Unless you've been lost at sea, you've probably heard about the giant robotic squid that Old Spice deployed last weekend for a wacky, high-profile internet game on Twitch.
Drones, autonomous vehicles on Echodyne's radar as it pulls in $29M from investors

The Not-So-Secret Code That Powers Robots Around the Globe
Ellen Huet for Bloomberg: A Silicon Valley startup is the guardian of the building blocks of robot life.
The tech giants of Silicon Valley are starting to rely on crime-fighting robots for security
Melia Robinson for Business Insider: On a recent night outside the offices of Knightscope, a robotics startup in the heart of Silicon Valley, a middle-aged man allegedly toppled a five-foot tall, 300-pound robot to the ground.
ELLIQ: Intuition Robotics Bridges Uncanny Valley To Cure Loneliness Epidemic
Red Herring: ELLIQ comprises a tablet screen and a small, bobble-headed assistant, which looks like two bell jars glommed together, that interacts with elderly users, the device and humans on the other end of communication.
Teaching robots to teach other robots
Adam Conner-Simons, CSAIL via MIT News: CSAIL approach allows robots to learn a wider range of tasks using some basic knowledge and a single demo.
Another Race to the Moon-This Time by Robots
On September 13, 1959, the Soviet Union landed the first human-made object on the surface of the Moon. The United States landed the first human on July 20, 1969. Now, there is a race to land the first robot on the moon.
Researchers developing robotic prosthetics to help restore balance in fall victims
Ryan Terry for Phys.org: Hur's prior research helped him answer two questions: "Can we predict a fall? Can we then reduce the number of falls?"
