Check out the updated program of the #HUMANOIDS2024 conference.
Super rich program, with exhibition and competition on top of oral and poster sessions. And many social events too!

[IEEE-RAS Int. Conf. on Humanoid Robots (HUMANOIDS) @HumanoidsConf]

We are grateful to our amazing sponsors, for helping us in giving you the best conference experience!

[IEEE-RAS Int. Conf. on Humanoid Robots (HUMANOIDS) @HumanoidsConf]

Check out the outreach activities of #HUMANOIDS2024
We have planned activities for 800+ people, particularly students and children. This is a unique opportunity to meet robotics researchers, see real robots in action, and get inspired by robotics.

Have you seen @UCLEast with the robot's eyes? Here it is ANYmal exploring the two buildings OPS and Marshgate, using its lidar sensor.

Detection of cracks by drones! 🛸

The use of drones and 3D reconstruction allows for efficient and detailed inspections of bridges, providing accurate and repeatable information on their structural condition.

Engineers and asset owners can better understand a structure's health by detecting cracks and efflorescence. Compared to traditional inspection methods, this technology can also save time and resources.

Accurate data collection is essential for tracking changes over time and making informed decisions about the structure's maintenance.

Learn the differences between motion profiles! 💨

Every robotic arm, every legged robot has actuators that make it move! 🦾

Let's compare two motion profiles: rectangular and trapezoid.

A rectangular motion profile is like a car with abrupt starts and stops, ideal for situations requiring speed. 🚙

Trapezoid motion profiles offer a smoother ride, perfect for scenarios where precision and smoothness are essential (@MabRobotics , I love the way you illustrated the difference!).

P.S. Can you name different applications for these two motion profiles in robotics?

[C. Zhang @ChongZzZhang]

It's also inspired by @BostonDynamics 's awesome works.
The key question is -- to which extent we need model-based methods for motion synthesis, when #RL may support robust and versatile control w/ efficient computation?

Oggi ci sono almeno 50 trial clinici dove si stanno sperimentano vaccini a mRNA personalizzati per combattere vari tipi di tumore.

La stessa tecnologia a mRNA che abbiamo usato contro il Covid.

At @ucl (Intelligent Robotics group) we designed a new MEng programme in Robotics & AI to be current, highly educational, and fun! The first cohort designed tree climbing robots, they competed, and it was really fun!!!
