Video Friday：ALBATROSS 两栖机器人完成空中投放、自扶正与风帆航行

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! We’ve developed ALBATROSS (Airborne Lander with Buoyant AuToROtating Sailing Sensor), a hybrid aerial-marine robot. It can be released from the air, autorotate down to the water without a parachute, passively self-right after landing, and then reuse the same rigid wings as sails for autonomous wind-powered navigation. The key idea is to make the physical structures do as much of the work as possible. Rather than carrying separate systems for aerial descent, landing, and marine propulsion, ALBATROSS uses the same wings for both autorotation and sailing, with minimal actuation. Ultimately, we’re interested in whether platforms like this could combine rapid aerial deployment with persistent, energy-efficient marine sensing.

[ Figure ] Sharpa unveiled three major proprietary new products at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS): D01, the first integrated tactile-sensing robot built for dexterous manipulation; W02, a next-generation fully tactile, ultracompact, lightweight dexterous hand; and AE01, a high-fidelity haptic exoskeleton data glove. [ Sharpa ] Why will Boston Dynamics win the humanoid robotics race? We’ve already commercialized autonomous mobile robots, creating markets with Spot and Stretch. Now we’re doing it again with Atlas: learning in real environments, designing for manufacturing at scale, and introducing a new era of physical intelligence.
