The company already has a robot disinfector and a robot sommelier, but they are not like people Sberbank is planning to produce its own humanoid robots, Stanislav Kuznetsov, deputy chairman of the bank’s board of directors, told reporters about this during events dedicated to the opening of the Manzherok resort. He also noted that the company plans to become a leader in this area, despite the fact that Western companies are currently leading in this segment. [caption id="attachment_85251" align="aligncenter" width="780"] humanoid robots[/caption] “We are focused on leadership in this direction,” Sber is working on creating humanoid robots We confirm that Sberbank has developed its own anthropomorphic robots. Western companies are the first there now, but we are focused on leadership in this direction. Sberbank has its own Robotics Center, whose task is “to create robots and other cyber-physical systems using artificial intelligence to solve the business problems of Sber and its clients.” The bank has already presented a disinfectant robot for automatic disinfection of offices, medical institutions, hotels and other premises, as well as a sommelier robot, which is designed for the presentation and sale of wines. But these robots are not humanoid.

This is not an entertainment product, although it does have an entertainment mode Samsung is reportedly set to unveil its wearable robot, Bot Fit, at CES 2024 early next year. [caption id="attachment_79629" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung robot[/caption] Samsung robot that can be worn on the waist and legs. The product will not be entirely new. Three years ago, the company showed a similar device, GEMS Hip, but it never entered the market. Bot Fit is simply a new name for the production version of GEMS Hip. Be that as it may, we are talking about a medical device that helps people walk. It is intended for older people and people with disabilities. True, there is also an entertainment mode called Aqua, which creates effects similar to walking on water, whatever that means. [caption id="attachment_79630" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung robot[/caption] The device can interface with a smartphone and smart watch, and it also tracks various walking parameters. Bot Fit can also be paired with wireless headphones to receive recommendations from proprietary software.

It's like it was made by Gundam fans for Gundam fans The startup Tsubame Industries presented an unusual development at the Japan Mobility Show, which runs until November 5. According to eyewitnesses, the huge humanoid transforming robot works “like a real one.” [caption id="attachment_79374" align="aligncenter" width="780"] robot battle league[/caption] Tsubame Archax is a Gundam fan's dream, one of the longest active anime franchises in anime history, dedicated to huge fighting robots of all kinds. Tsubame Archax is about 4.5 meters high, weighs 3.5 tons and costs $3 million. Archax is the first product from Yokohama-based Tsubame. It is the result of four years of research and development. [caption id="attachment_79375" align="aligncenter" width="780"] robot battle league[/caption] This is how TheVerge journalist, who personally visited the exhibition, described the event: Inside the Tokyo Big Sight showroom, huge by any standards, the Archax towers above the mundane supercars and concept cars that dot the space. Every hour or so, the Tsubame staff runs a simple demo where Archax raises his arms, waves to the crowd, and switches from robot mode to car mode and back again. First the robot battle league, and then the exploration of the moon [caption id="attachment_79376" align="aligncenter" width="750"] robot battle league[/caption] The transformation is carried out in 15 seconds, the robot is capable of moving at a speed of 10 km/h. There is also a cabin in which the pilot-driver is located. The first stage of development is more amateur and entertainment. They plan to sell five copies and organize something like a robot battle league. However, subsequent plans are more serious - the company intends to develop the space sector, and especially the exploration of the Moon. [caption id="attachment_79377" align="aligncenter" width="750"] robot battle league[/caption] Tsubame CTO Akinori Ishii said: There are many specialized machines on Earth for special jobs. We can't have that many machines on a lunar base. So perhaps a humanoid machine would be used in such a situation. https://youtu.be/zPZRaXVxcqw

But does not know the founder of the company Boston Dynamics, known for its line of robots, demonstrated with the example of the robot dog Spot what can be achieved by connecting the power of the ChatGPT chatbot. A short demonstration video shows how the robotic dog acts as a tour guide.  [caption id="attachment_76660" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots[/caption] What happens if you connect ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots Software engineer Matt Klingensmith said developing a robot guide was the easiest and fastest way to test the ability of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to perform tasks beyond the data on which they are based and trained. Essentially, the robot can walk around the company premises, examining objects.  It uses a subtitle model to describe objects in its field of view, further refining its description using LLM. The robot can also answer user questions and even plan its next actions.  https://youtu.be/djzOBZUFzTw The robot can switch between “personalities” with different characteristics, passions, and hobbies. One of them, for example, is passionate about minerals and precious metals, and “Josh” is prone to sarcasm and causticity. The company said: We immediately realized that "bitter" or "sarcastic" personalities worked very well, and we even had the robot go on a Bigfoot hunt around the office. The robotic tour guide can even use “body language,” such as pointing its arm toward the nearest person to explain a concept.  The team encountered several surprises during the development process. For example, when the robot was asked who Marc Raibert (one of the founders and president of Boston Dynamics) was, he replied that he did not know and recommended contacting IT support for further assistance.

Development is moving very quickly The figure has unveiled its humanoid robot, Figure 01, and publicly demonstrated how it walks for the first time. [caption id="attachment_71552" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Humanoid robot Figure 01[/caption] Over the past year, the company has grown to 60 employees. It includes engineers in artificial intelligence, controls, embedded software, electrical, mechanical, drive design, batteries, integration and testing. The company announced a $70 million investment round in May 2023 and developed the robot in just over 12 months. [caption id="attachment_71553" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Humanoid robot Figure 01[/caption] The humanoid robot Figure 01 will go on sale soon. First demo published Figure has a shiny metal case. This version of the robot includes a backpack for the battery. The arms have seven degrees of freedom, the legs and feet have six, and the hand has six. A total of 41 degrees of freedom are mentioned for all parts of the robot. The hands received a standard set of five fingers, each finger consisting of two phalanges. The foot and ankle are a simple hinged platform. [caption id="attachment_71555" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Humanoid robot Figure 01[/caption] The Figure team was able to achieve dynamic walking in less than a year, which the company claims is one of the fastest results in the history of humanoid robots. The robot will be given commands about how quickly to move, and then it must think about tasks such as balance, where to place its feet, and how to move its arms so that it is not affected by external disturbances or changes in ground height when moving. [caption id="attachment_71557" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Humanoid robot Figure 01[/caption] Separately, the Figure team is developing manipulations with arms, hands, and fingers. This development continues independently of the work of the walking/gait commands to make the robot move and navigate. https://youtu.be/jACJruCzUzY The robot is expected to go on sale next year.
