Video Friday：机器人退役处理玩出新花样

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also post a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months. Please send us your events for inclusion. CoRL 2026 : 9–12 November 2026, AUSTIN Humanoids 2026 : 6–9 December 2026, SANTA CLARA, CA Enjoy today’s videos! It’s possible that I wasn’t the only one who thought that Figure’s recent stunt was somewhat ridiculous. Devanthro is, in fact, selling these plastic balls for $1,000 each, and they’ll arrive in time for Christmas. [ Devanthro ] Not that anyone uses ringtones anymore, but if we did, this would be absolutely everywhere, and I’d be loving it. [ Pollen ] Let’s not get too excited, but this threadlike linear motor is pretty sweet. [ Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne LMTS ] What is this robot for? It’s for doing exactly what you see here, that’s what it’s for. [ RAI Institute ] Humanoid robots still struggle to plan contact-rich whole-body manipulation from egocentric RGB and proprioception. Workhorse learns such manipulation from robot-free human demonstrations. On a real Unitree G1, Workhorse sorts boxes with its hands and a kick, catches a thrown box, and topples and climbs a suitcase. Yeah that happens to me too when I have a communication failure. [ Hybrid Robotics ] A car wash that models your vehicle, then cleans it with robot arms? Interesting idea. The recent reviews from this location suggest that the robots aren’t quite up to snuff yet, but it really seems like there’s potential here. [ KUKA ] So this is not the worst idea I’ve ever seen for what to do with humanoid robots. [ DEEP Robotics ] Some lovely manipulation with a deceptively simple gripper. [ Generalist ] I am genuinely embarrassed to say that this robot dances better than I do. [ General Robotics Lab ] MIT researchers developed SANDO, a new navigation system that helps robots safely navigate unfamiliar environments while avoiding moving obst
