I’m not sure it’s geographically appropriate for a robot Husky to be this close to penguins in Antarctica, but on the other hand, who cares because I’m all for robots and penguins.
The project consists of a hybrid (autonomous and remotely controlled) Husky UGV robot called ECHO, equipped with various sensors, including a camera and an RFID antenna, to read RFID tags from chipped penguins (chips that are also used to chip dogs and cats). Using an RFID scanner, ECHO will scan penguins to assess their breeding status and survival success. Overall, the robot will be able to track individual penguins throughout their lives, allowing researchers to collect data to investigate behavioral and population dynamics.

Snap has released a small drone with a camera called Pixy. There’s nothing special about it, but that’s okay: it looks small, secure, and fairly easy to use. And what I really appreciate is that this video seems to show actual drone footage, which is not fantastic, but quite workable.
$250 seems a little steep, but perhaps the secure form factor and ease of use can justify it.

It’s pretty cool – it’s the standard RoboCup platform where the robots work completely autonomously. Watch right after the kickoff as the black jerseyed robot (closest to the ball) closes the screen on the left. As it turned out, she (her name is Sarah) went deep into someone else’s half of the field, where she was located at the gate, having an ideal position for a brilliant pass.

GITAI has already demonstrated its robotic arm inside the International Space Station, and now it looks like they are getting ready to work outside of it as well.

Things I want robots to do so I don’t have to: Sorting garbage.
It’s strange that they call the robot both “she” and “drone” in almost the same sentence.

At Agility, we make robots that are built to work. Our expertise lies in combining design, software and hardware to create robots capable of performing limitless tasks as part of a mixed human/robot workforce.
Okay, I really want to know if Digit can use the stool in the back of the trailer.

Tawanda Chihambakwe of Zimbabwe Flying Labs talks about how Zimbabwe Flying Labs started using drones for STEM programs and how drones are impacting conservation and agriculture.

Robotics has the potential to revolutionize our daily lives by allowing people to do things that were previously thought impossible. SRI is at the forefront of developments that have and will continue to redefine manufacturing, medicine, safety and more.

A drone show by CollMot, which seems to use much larger drones than anyone else.
