Engineers at MIT have developed a handheld tool for teaching robots new skills. Attaching to many common collaborative robotic arms, the tool can be used to teach the robot by remotely controlling it, physically manipulating it, or demonstrating the task themselves.

When we read the headline of this story, we thought it meant the robot could “run” — like sprinting or jogging. However, a robot that can change its own battery is, as @LiveScience says, “unsettling” and worth posting. Read about the 5-foot-3, 95-pound Walker S2 and watch video of its uniquely flexible shoulders in action:

Autonomous robotics startup Cartken, known for its four-wheeled robots resembling Guido from the movie “Cars” that deliver food in Tokyo, has pivoted in a new direction: industrials. “What we found is that actually there’s a real big need in industrial and onsite use cases,” said CEO Christian Bersch.

The Hybrid Species — When Technology Becomes Human, and Humans Become Technology
A fresh transmission from my Musing On Society and Technology newsletter:
We used to build machines to serve us.
Now we build them to complete us.
So… what happens when the line between us and them disappears?
This is the follow-up to my Robbie piece — where #Asimov made us wonder if trust could be earned by a robot that didn’t even speak.
Well, now the machines do speak. They pretend to understand us. And we pretend they do, too.
But here’s the twist: maybe we’re not just surrounded by machines — maybe we’re slowly becoming one. Or better yet: when carbon and silicon don’t just coexist, but converge… maybe something new is emerging.
A hybrid species.
Not science fiction — just evolution, with a bit of attitude.
No panic. No utopia either. Just me thinking out loud, wondering what’s coming — and whether we’re wise enough to carry the best of ourselves into whatever comes next.
No time to read? Let my AI companion TAPE3 read it to you — it’s got a voice and just enough sass to make it weirdly charming.
Newsletter link and audio version in the comments.
If you find these musings worth your time, share them with someone who likes to think sideways. And follow both my newsletter and podcast — there’s a lot more where this came from. 
Cheers,

America can’t out-innovate China without mechanical engineers — or robots
The Robot Report · America can't out-innovate China without mechanical engineers - or robots - The Robot ReportShaun Edwards, the co-founder and CTO of Plus One Robotics, explains why the U.S. needs a national robotics strategy to educate engineers.
EurekAlert!KAIST develops robots that react to danger like humansIn the midst of the co-development of artificial intelligence and robotic advancements, developing technologies that enable robots to efficiently perceive and respond to their surroundings like humans has become a crucial task. In this context, Korean researchers are gaining attention for newly implementing an artificial sensory nervous system that mimics the sensory nervous system of living organisms without the need for separate complex software or circuitry. This breakthrough technology is expected to be applied in fields such as in ultra-small robots and robotic prosthetics, where intelligent and energy-efficient responses to external stimuli are essential.

I have mixed feelings here
On one hand, it saves Ukrainian lives
On the other, this glimpse into the future makes me sick

Hey #FediHire , meet @Dominicd3213
He's an embedded systems and #fullstack #developer who loves making machines move and websites work. By day, he wires up #Robots with ROS 2, #arduino and LIDAR; by night, he wrangles #react #TypeScript and #MongoDB into sleek, responsive interfaces. Built #AI chat tools, and co-founded a trading platform.
He lives where code meets circuits, and believes great tech should be powerful and weird.
Anyone need a bright young guy like this?
