Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science and the University of California, Berkeley, have designed a robotic system that enables a low-cost and relatively small legged robot to climb and descend numerous obstacles. The robot can travel up and down stairs nearly its own height. It can also traverse rocky, slippery, uneven, steep and varied terrain. In addition, the robot can walk across gaps, scale rocks and curbs, and even operate in the dark. “Empowering small robots to climb stairs and handle a variety of environments is crucial to developing robots that will be useful in people’s homes…

…strives for general-purpose robots Chris Atkeson, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute and Human-Computer Interaction Institute, teaches a course on humanoid robots. In that class, students are taught a broad view of what’s going on in robotics and AI, he said. Atkeson explained that his students learn about a range of different areas of robotics by studying humanoids, from legged locomotion to flexible robot arms. Atkeson, who has a master’s degree in computer science from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said a central debate among the robotics…

…The company was founded in 2016 by roboticists from Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University and is a resident member of MassRobotics. AR said Scout is a fully automated drone system capable of continuous, unattended operation. It is offered as a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data solution service under a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January approved Scout as the first system for automated beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations with no humans on-site. The company said this approval gives it an exclusive first-mover advantage to unlock the commercial drone market by overcoming the need for costly…
