While two-legged humanoid robots are super-popular right now from manufacturers like Apptronik, Amazon , Sanctuary AI, Figure.ai, Tesla, and Fourier Intelligence, it’s likely that robot innovation will diversify rather than consolidate over the next few years as we enter an emerging golden age of robotics.
Atlas is Boston Dynamics two-legged parkour-playing humanoid robot. When building a robot for warehouse and logistics operation, Boston Dynamics first evolved the form factor into Handle, a two-wheeled robot with a single ostrich-like neck/arm. Eventually, however, engineers moved on to Stretch, a newer robot with a four-wheeled base that can carry much more battery power with it while working just as well in warehouses, which tend to have flat concrete floors.
For moving around the world or a job site, legs can make sense, of course, especially in uneven ground. But two legs might not always be the solution here either. Marco da Silva, Boston Dynamics’ VP and general manager for Spot, the company’s dog-like robot, says he gained a new appreciation for a four-legged form a few years ago in an uncontrolled outdoor environment.Congress) in Barcelona on February 28, 2022. - The world's biggest mobile fair is held from February 28 to March 3, 2022.
No-one has yet to make a humanoid robot that is both reasonably fast-moving and has long battery life, for instance.to train its robots: using natural language to tell a robot what to do and having the AI system translate that into discrete steps and actions. That’s essential for using robots in home and work situations.
