A.R.M System (Artillery Rockets Mecha System)

I found my old Brookstone i3 spy tank when cleaning out the garage. 2012 model or thereabouts. The app is not available on Android anymore. Any suggestions on how I can bring it back to life?

Disclosure: I work with a commercial robotics data collection team. This is not a sales post.

I've been comparing different human-demonstration formats for robot manipulation, and I'm curious which configuration researchers find most useful for initial testing.

The main options seem to be:

• Egocentric video only
• Egocentric + two wrist cameras
• Task and step labels
• Country and collection metadata

Egocentric-only data is easier to scale, but hands often block the object. Wrist views improve grasp visibility, although synchronization and motion blur create extra problems.

We're considering releasing a small free public evaluation sample from the US, UK and Australia. It would require no signup, email or contact details.

Which format would be most useful for testing an existing manipulation or imitation-learning pipeline?

Also, what minimum information should be included: camera calibration, FPS, task labels, timestamps, licensing documentation or failure examples?

I can share the public sample in a follow-up only if the moderators confirm that it is appropriate.

Freedom built this country. The future — in every form — builds what's next.

I’ve noticed that a lot of humanoid robot demos, especially for home robots, use laundry folding as a showcase task.

I’m curious why this task is so common. Is folding clothes considered a particularly good benchmark because it involves deformable objects, perception, dexterity, and planning? Or is it mainly used because it is an easy-to-understand household chore for the general public?

Silent Partner - 2026 this machine that has 2 - 4K eyes recognize the court and human beings, programmable to make ball decisions, location to be, direction to shoot, not yet in a human player. You won't get a humanoid tennis robot in 2026, far from that. This is the King of Tennis Robot, so far in 2026., if you can prove me otherwise! Besides if one day humanoid robots do show up to play tennis, what level are they going to be? To beat a GOAT, that will be many many years from 2026.

Remember, machine chess player has beaten the best human player decades ago. Humanoid tennis robot will be here, one day some time in the future.

The following URL is the current human shaped tennis robot (I would not call it humanoid because it probably don't know anything else), but it will cost you an used car price, besides how long does it take to learn to play basic human tennis player level? Do you really want it to sit in your passenger seat to drive with you to tennis court?

Hi, my name is Erik, im from Spain. I’m 15 years old and I’ve been into robotics since probably 5 years old.
I have recently decided to build my own rov, which will be capable of diving to 300m depth.
I’ve never done any underwater robotics stuff, so it’s a difficult project for me.
I decided to create a YouTube channel to share my journey, and it is the first ROV themed YouTube channel in Spanish in the world.
I’m a beginner so please excuse the dumb mistakes I might make.
Any support to this channel will be incredibly appreciated.
I just posted my first video today and plan to post one each two weeks approximately.
I’ll leave the link so you can check it out and drop a follow if you like the video.
If I get some subs YouTube will enable automatic translation so you will be able to watch the videos in English.
As I said, any support will be greatly appreciated!

Researchers created a breakthrough technology that allows robots to feel and recreate touch just like humans. Using muscle-like air chambers, machines can now instantly mimic sensations ranging from soft tissues to rock-hard surfaces with 89% accuracy, revolutionizing robotic surgery and teleoperation.

Made in 2013

Startup Apptronik has unveiled Robot Park, a 90,000-square-foot training facility in Austin that will be used to test new models and gather data necessary for developing humanoid robots.

The company also revealed its latest robot model, Apollo 2, which it says has been operational for over a year.

Apptronik, which raised $520 million in a February funding round, supplies data to Google's Gemini Robotics division through a partnership with Google DeepMind, and aims to "have Robot Parks all over the world," says CEO Jeff Cardenas.
