Video Friday is a weekly compilation of cool robotics videos collected by our friends. IEEE spectrum Robotics. We also publish a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events over the coming months. Please send us your events for inclusion.
Humanoid 2024: November 22-24, 2024, Nancy, France
Enjoy today’s video!
We’re hoping to hear more about this from Boston Dynamics, but if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the electric Atlas doing productive (and autonomous!) work.
And why not wear a hot dog costume on Halloween too?

Oh, this is exciting! Aldebaran is preparing to launch the 7th generation NAO!
(Aldebaran)
All right. It was actually a bit scary, but Happy Halloween from ANYbotics!

This is a pitching demonstration of the new Torobo. The new Torobo is lighter than the previous version, allowing for faster movements such as throwing a ball. The new model is scheduled to be released in Japan from March 2025 and overseas from October 2025.

When Arvato’s Louisville, Kentucky employees wanted a robotic system that could unload and unload cargo more quickly and safely, Boston Dynamics’ Stretch robot stood out. Stretch is the first mobile robot specifically designed to unload boxes from trailers and shipping containers, freeing employees to focus on more meaningful tasks in the warehouse. Arvato purchased its first Stretch system this year, and the robot’s impact was immediate.

This week’s Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute seminar is on “Robots That Know When They Don’t Know,” by Anirudha Majumdar of Princeton University.
Fundamental models of machine learning have enabled rapid advances in robot perception, planning, and natural language understanding. However, current systems lack strict guarantees when generalizing to new scenarios is necessary. For example, recognition systems may fail to identify or localize unfamiliar objects, and large language model (LLM)-based planners may hallucinate output leading to unsafe results when executed by a robot. How can we rigorously quantify uncertainty in machine learning components so that the robot doesn’t know when and can act accordingly?
