Ollie (I think its name is Ollie) is a “a novel wheel-legged robot” from Tencent Robotics. The word “novel” is used quite appropriately here, since Ollie sports some unusual planar parallel legs atop driven wheels. It’s also got a multifunctional actuated tail that not only enables some impressive acrobatics, but…

In 2017, we first wrote about the Chinese startup Unitree Robotics, which had the goal of “making legged robots as popular and affordable as smartphones and drones.” Relative to the cost of other quadrupedal robots (like Boston Dynamics’ $74,000 Spot), Unitree’s quadrupeds are very affordable, with their A1 costing under…

DNA-based Circuits May Be the Future of Medicine, and This Software Program Will Get Us There Faster

9 Ιουνίου 2021 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Biological circuits, made of synthetic DNA, have incredibly vast and important medical applications. Even though this technology is still early-stage, the approach has been used to create tests for diagnosing cancer and identifying internal injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, hemorrhagic shock, and more. As well, synthetic biological circuits can be…

Tom Marzetta is the director of NYU Wireless, New York University’s research center for cutting-edge wireless technologies. Prior to joining NYU Wireless, Marzetta was at Nokia Bell Labs, where he developed massive MIMO. Massive MIMO (short for “multiple-input multiple-output”) allows engineers to pack dozens of small antennas into a single…

Why Can't Computing at the Heart of Bitcoin Be More Useful?

Elon Musk recently sent Bitcoin’s value plummeting after voicing concerns about the cryptocurrency’s “insane” energy use. But what if there were a way to channel its computing power towards something more productive? Bitcoin currently consumes as much electricity as a small country thanks to the huge amounts of processing required to…

A version of this post originally appeared on Tedium, a twice-weekly newsletter that hunts for the end of the long tail. In our modern era, we tend to choose devices with as many functions as possible, and we bristle at the thought of an object with a single use—hence why…

MIT is Building a Dynamic, Acrobatic Humanoid Robot

7 Ιουνίου 2021 by paulkokos

For a long time, having a bipedal robot that could walk on a flat surface without falling over (and that could also maybe occasionally climb stairs or something) was a really big deal. But we’re more or less past that now. Thanks to the talented folks at companies like Agility Robotics…
