A robot that drives straight up a wall! 🧱 VertiGo is a robot built by Disney Research with ETH Zürich. Most wall-climbing robots hold on. Suction cups, magnets, dry adhesives. All of them need a surface that cooperates, and none of them… |
Researchers have trained a robotic hand to walk on its fingertips without an arm. Using an off-the-shelf WUJI hand equipped with a Raspberry Pi, IMU, and battery, they trained reinforcement-learning policies in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The… |
This is too funny… did Thing from The Addams Family get a twin? 😂 ETH Zurich’s team taught a WUJI robotic hand to crawl around and get back up when it tips over, and yes, it can use a keyboard too. https://t.co/Yx2vbYW3G4… |
Researchers at ETH Zurich demonstrated an EngineAI PM-01 humanoid robot autonomously crossing monkey bars. Using LiDAR and a neural network with memory, the robot detects the bars and plans its movements without human guidance. It… |
A robotic hand that walks away on its own fingers! 🪬 We finally have the Thing from Addams family in robotics, and it was developed at ETH Zürich. No wheels, no legs bolted underneath, no separate drive mechanism. The same fingers that… |
ETH Robotics Club has unveiled XALUN, a humanoid robot developed by students at ETH Zurich. The club describes XALUN as “Switzerland’s first humanoid” 🎥 Source: https://t.co/SSe0GTagy4 ℹ️ This content is shared for informational purposes… |
Autonomous excavator building a wall! 🪨 This will blow your mind! 🤯 Researchers from ETH Zürich and Robotic Systems Lab have used an autonomous excavator to build a 65-meter-long, six-meter-high dry-stone wall. The autonomous system,… |
A humanoid on the monkey bars! 🐒 The robot from the @leggedrobotics Lab at ETH Zürich jumps up to the structure, swings across it, and drops down to a landing. Most legged robots build a terrain map first, and a heightfield is the wrong… |
Is Zurich really the capital of robotics in Europe? 🇪🇺 Well, if you look at their robotics ecosystem, it seems true! 👀 SPOILER: Zurich robotics ecosystem is that BIG, that describing it I exceeded X post standard length (so decided to… |
