This is the VERO: a vacuum cleaner equipped robot for efficient removal of trash from beaches and parks. It is designed to remove cigarette butts and other litter in areas that are hard to reach for wheeled and tracked robots. Its onboard vacuum cleaner is connected with hoses to its 4 legs. The nozzles are attached to each foot.

We have all seen insects find their way back home all the time. Researchers are inspired by those to come up with autonomous navigation for tiny, lightweight robots. This approach allows robots to come back home without too much computing power.

Visual Route-following for Tiny Autonomous Robots - Science Robotics

Researchers were inspired by how ants “visually recognize their environment and combine it with counting their steps” in order to get back home.

Here is an expressive bipedal robotic character with a reinforcement learning-based control architecture that can execute artistic motions. It is remote controlled with a puppeteering interface which allows for expressive performances to be created on the fly. As the researchers explain:

command signals are generated by an animation engine which composes and blends between multiple animation sources.

Design and Control of a Bipedal Robotic Character

This robot uses off-the-shelf hardware modules. It has 5 actuators in each leg and 4 in its neck. It has speakers, illuminated eyes and a headlamp. The above video from Disney Research Hub shows it in action.

Here is a robot that can detach a part of its body to escape difficult situations. It is inspired by lizards and ants. The Faboratory at Yale University researchers developed this robot for unstructured environments. As the video shows, it was able to get unstuck after a rock fell on its back limb. As they explain:

One reversible joint was weakened via Joule heating of the copper heater. The robot kept walking and left the stuck limb behind.

Bilige Yang et al. Self-Amputating and Interfusing Machines: Quadruped Demo

This soft robot features a “reversible cohesive interface made of thermoplastic elastomer that allows for strong attachment and easy detachment of distributed soft robot modules without direct human handling.”
