Ensuring Safety in Robot-Human Interactions
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have developed the Safe Protective and Assistive Robot Kit (SPARK), a modular toolbox to enhance safety in humanoid robots. Humanoids are versatile but can pose risks due to their complex physical structures and capabilities.
SPARK integrates advanced safety algorithms, allowing users to customize safety settings and balance performance with protection. Compatible with popular hardware like the Unitree G1 and Apple Vision Pro, SPARK offers a plug-and-play solution to make humanoid robots safer and more reliable in real-world applications

China has developed a bionic robot that runs faster than a cockroach
A team of scientists from the laboratory of Beihang University in Beijing has created a unique bionic robot measuring only 2 centimeters in size and weighing less than 2 grams. It has high maneuverability and is faster than cockroaches.
The new micro-robot has been named BHMbot. It is able to overcome obstacles and move backwards. During testing, the development demonstrated the ability to penetr

Can robots turn pages?
Researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a "flex-and-flip" manipulation technique for robots to grasp thin, flexible objects, like pages or cables, lying flat.
By flexing the object and using its internal energy, a robotic gripper achieves a stable grasp as the object flips between its fingers.
This method works with simple, compliant mechanisms and requ
