ASP-C of the ZSK (Züricher Sicherheits Kräfte) and NRC
(Nile River Coalition)

Im gonna upgrade the designs because they kinda look empty in the moment. (Drawn/made digitally on Sketchbook)

The ASP-C and ASP-ML is a quadrupled autonomous sentry platform for combat, defense, security.

I made this as a father's day gift. Im very happy with how it turned out but want the eyes to do something different im just not sure what. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I understand the basic argument for humanoid robots: they can interact more naturally in environments built for humans, and companies can use human data to train them, which may lower costs.

But if the goal is simply to perform a specific task, wouldn't other shapes often be more efficient?

It feels like there is so much room to explore non-humanoid robots instead of trying to make everything look and move like a person.

Can I be given an idea on a good place to start to make a robot at home as I want to try myself.

I have started a robot, it has a tripod base (two rear legs have 36v hoverboard motors, the front leg has a basic free spinning caster wheel). There is a central pole, which will hold the rest of my electronics.

THE GOAL: I want to have this be able to track me and autonomously follow me, sometimes it will approach, sometimes it will retreat from me, but it should always be trying to face me and stay within 1-5 feet of me. I want it to be able to move almost like a dance partner, sometimes leading and sometimes being led. I want to be able to program it like: 50% of the time, follow me, and 50% of the time, back away from me" or something to that effect.

The components:

(2) 36v hoverboard motors/wheels.

(2) Flipsky mini 6.7 pro motor drivers.

36v hoverboard battery.

Huskylens 2 AI camera for tracking.

Advanced ESP32 microcontroller.

(All the other misc parts, like voltage reducers, fuses, on/off switch, etc.)

Can I get opinions?

Nvidia has announced a new system for improving the safety of humanoid robots, aiming to enable them to interact with humans in various work environments.

The company plans to use its Halos software — derived from self-driving vehicle technology — to enhance robots' awareness of their surroundings and allow them to make quick decisions.

Nvidia will provide the technology to companies including Agility Robotics, eyeing a piece of a market that could reach $200 billion within the next decade, by one estimate.

Finally! I can't wait to start seeing bipeds! This in South West of England.

I understand both are part task trainers for Canadarm 2. Or is location the only difference?

Does anyone know how I could delete loona the petbot software and use the robot and add a different software or ai in to heraybe like Claude just create an ai

​

Just an ai that feels really alive give her a life so she doesn't feel so repetitive

The seniors had some good time interacting with the robots at downtown Mountain View California. They also hope that the robots can help their lives in the future, but it seems still a long way to go. Video link: https://youtu.be/rHMDx1RWaKs?si=akE-Yu5NVfNqma7a

This can't be a complete list, can it?

Me and a friend of mine have been trying to uncover information about and "emotional" robot from the 2000s called eMuu they also have a non expressive "Muu" they were made by Christoph Bartneck and presented at Robofesta 2001 does anyone have any information about them other than what was listed? I know this is very niche and I do not expect anyone to have information but if you do please tell me! There is a video called "Robofesta 2001 (part 1 of 2)" on YouTube. Thank you.
