Helix : The AI Brain That Controls Humanoid Robots

Image
  Helix is redefining what humanoid robots can do. As the world’s first Vision-Language-Action model with continuous, full upper-body control, it gives robots the ability to see, understand, and act in a way that feels remarkably human. From precise wrist rotations to delicate fingertip movements, Helix can handle almost any small object — all by following simple natural language commands.  Watch on YouTube At its core, Helix runs on a two-speed brain inspired by how humans think and react. Its “System 2” operates at 7–9 Hz, carefully processing and understanding complex instructions. Meanwhile, “System 1” works at an incredible 200 Hz, executing movements with unmatched speed and precision. This combination allows Helix-powered robots to be both thoughtful and fast, adapting to tasks in real time. The technology is already proving itself in demanding environments. In logistics, Helix can sort packages of various shapes and materials — from rigid boxes to padded envelopes a...

DRAGON | A Japanese dragon drone moves independently through the air, resembling the sinuous motion of a flying snake

Image
 The JSK Lab at the University of Tokyo has introduced a cutting-edge drone known as the "dragon drone," which is composed of multiple small drones capable of dynamic transformations. According to reports, this drone not only has the ability to alter its shape into various forms like squares or curved lines but also possesses the capability to autonomously determine the most suitable shape based on the space it needs to navigate. The acronym "DRAGON" stands for "Dual-rotor embedded multilink Robot with the Ability of multi-deGree-of-freedom aerial transformatiON." Inspired by traditional dragon kites, the design features a tail composed of interconnected smaller kites.  Watch on YouTube Each of the small drones is equipped with a pair of ducted fans that can be adjusted to direct thrust in almost any direction. Powered by an Intel Euclid dev kit and supported by a spine-mounted battery pack offering three minutes of flight time, the DRAGON drone's modu...

M4 | The Bioinspired Robot Exhibits Flight, Rolling, Walking, and Additional Capabilities

Image
The new robot M4 can roll on four wheels, turn its wheels into rotors and fly, stand on two wheels like a meerkat to peer over obstacles, "walk" by using its wheels like feet, use two rotors to help it roll up steep slopes on two wheels, tumble, and more. A robot with such a broad set of capabilities would have applications ranging from the transport of injured people to a hospital to the exploration of other planets.  Watch on YouTube The robot's flexibility of motion, coupled with artificial intelligence, allows it to choose what form of locomotion will be most effective based on the terrain ahead of it. Picture the M4 exploring an unfamiliar environment: it might start by rolling along on four wheels, which is its most energy-efficient mode. Upon reaching an obstacle like a boulder, it could stand on two wheels to peer over it for a clearer picture of the ground ahead. Then, if it saw a ravine or another feature that a wheeled robot could not traverse, it could reconfi...

Willow X | An outdoor robot specifically created to assist with the maintenance of your garden.

Image
Willow X is an outdoor robot that can complete tasks including mowing the lawn, weeding and harvesting fruit and vegetables. The robot has arms to help it execute a range of jobs, and it can carry items in its body. Willow X has AI capabilities and a 4K camera to help it detect objects and avoid obstacles.  Watch on YouTube The Willow X can last up to six hours between charges and the Willow X Pro up to eight hours. Other features of the gadget include autonomous navigation, rain detection and the ability to climb slopes with an incline up to 25% for the standard model and 35% for the Pro. Unlike many of the robot mowers on the market today, the Eeve creations don't use perimeter wires or GPS tracking but rely on vision camera systems, mapping and obstacle detection. The latest iteration of Willow is set up and controlled using a companion mobile app. And though it doesn't appear to collect clippings in a bin, it does have one built in and can use its onboard camera and AI smar...

Google DeepMind is Using AI to Teach Robots to Play Soccer

Image
DeepMind, scientists have successfully trained low-cost humanoid robots to play 1v1 soccer. Using advanced techniques like deep reinforcement learning, the team was able to teach these robots agile skills and tactics, bringing us one step closer to having robots perform complex tasks in the real world.                                                                     Watch on YouTube The training process involved two stages, where robots first learned independent skills like getting up from the ground and scoring goals. In the second stage, these skills were combined into a single soccer-playing agent, which improved its tactics through self-play against previous versions of itself. This progress could lead to the development of advanced humanoid robots capable of performing complex tasks across various industries, su...
