Video Friday：当两个机器人合二为一

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! When one robot loves another robot very much, and they’re connected by a wire, they can get together and make a brand new robot! SFW. [ JSK Lab ] What happens when Microducks meet? They start to sing together. Each Microduck syncs with its neighbors over Bluetooth, then they compose a song on the fly, in harmony and in perfect time. There’s no score and no conductor. Two, three, or four ducks are enough for a choir to break out. If Pollen isn’t selling Microducks in four packs for this exact reason, WHAT ARE THEY EVEN DOING!? [ Pollen ] In an internal test, Google DeepMind robotics researchers instructed Gemini 4 Argon to watch a video of a human playing cornhole. Using its video understanding and advanced reasoning capabilities, Gemini 4 built a virtual simulation in MuJoCo and accurately calculated the physics and whole-body control required for Apptronik’s Apollo 2 humanoid to sink seven consecutive shots in the real world. This Video-to-Sim-to-Real pipeline compresses weeks of manual modeling into a few hours, transforming ordinary videos into an infinite training ground for physical AI. [ Google DeepMind ] As of 11 October 2026, NASA’s Perseverance rover has driven 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers), becoming the new off-world record-holder for total distance driven by any vehicle on the surface of another world. The previous record of 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers) was held by NASA’s Opportunity rover. Perseverance reached that mark on the 2,006th Martian day, or sol, of its mission, covering in five and a half years a distance that took Opportunity almost 15. [ JPL ] Let’s not argue about whether these are robot
