Here is a smart motor that you can use to build your own robots. The Robodyn motors lets you build robots with 300mm range of motion and 1kg payload. You can use these to build delta robotic arms and Scara arms. The motor has dual magnetic enclosure sensors. It supports Windows and Linux. These motors are ready for Python and C++ programming.

How to Connect Circuitry and Drive?

This motor weighs only 360g. It  has speed, position and torque control modes. You can find out more about it on Kickstarter.

Here is a drone with a telescopic leg that can hop and fly. It can transition from aerial and terrestrial locomotion modes. The Hopcopter has a springy leg and can follow a prescribed trajectory in a continuous mode. When hopping, the robot achieves improved power efficiency. The below video shows it in action:

Adding a telescopic leg beneath a quadcopter to create a hopping drone

As the researchers explain, the robot can hop for 05 minutes. It can use the even use the ground to decelerate and turn during forward flight.

Boston Dynamics retired the hydraulic Atlas just a few days ago. It has already unveiled an electric version. It looks more agile than ever. This model will be stronger, with a broader range of motion. It will build on the capabilities of its predecessor. Thanks to Orbit, you will be able to manage entire fleets of robots. The below video shows it in action:

Quadruped robots are getting faster and more agile all the time. They can already run pretty fast. Quadruped Frog is about optimizing continuous quadruped jumping online. In the past, these behaviors were optimized offline.

Quadruped-Frog: Rapid Online Optimization of Continuous Quadruped Jumping

As the researchers explain, they designed:

foot force profiles parameterized by only a few parameters which we optimize for directly on hardware with Bayesian Optimization. The force profiles are tracked at the joint level, and added to Cartesian PD impedance control and Virtual Model Control to stabilize the jumping motions. 

This approach allows for forward, lateral, and twist jumps. A Go1 robot was used for this. It can jump 0.5m high and 0.5m forward.

Robots are going to do most of our space exploration in the future. The LASSIE project involving USC, UPenn, Texas A&M, Oregon State, Georgia Tech, Temple University, and NASA Johnson Space Center is all about teaching robot dogs how to navigate craters on the moon. These robots can feel the terrain with their leg and adjust their movement as needed.
