Schlagwort: Boston Dynamics

Ja, wir wissen alle, dass die Dinger in erster Linie und sehr höchstwahrscheinlich für militärische Zwecke entwickelt werden. Nichtsdestotrotz werden die auch im zivilen Bereich ankommen und für die einen die Arbeit leichter machen, für die andere den eigenen Arbeitsplatz obsolet. Hier ist Atlas nach vermutlicher Aufforderung dabei, Motorenabdeckungen autonom zu sortieren. Sieht unbeholfen aus, aber der Job wird gemacht.

Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly. The robot receives as input a list of bin locations to move parts between.

Atlas uses a machine learning (ML) vision model to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bins [0:36]. The robot uses a specialized grasping policy and continuously estimates the state of manipulated objects to achieve the task.

There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements; all motions are generated autonomously online. The robot is able to detect and react to changes in the environment (e.g., moving fixtures) and action failures (e.g., failure to insert the cover, tripping, environment collisions [1:24]) using a combination of vision, force, and proprioceptive sensors.

Bei Boston Dynamics verabschiedet man sich vom uns über die Jahre gut unterhaltendem Atlas mit einem „Best of“ Video.

For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date.

Und stellt umgehend den neuen vor.

We are unveiling the next generation of humanoid robots—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The new Atlas builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch, and now with Atlas. Stay tuned to see what the world’s most dynamic humanoid robot can really do—in the lab, in the factory, and in our lives.
