    Tech analysis: How many steps does RealMan's RealBOT wheeled folding robot take to "make dumpling filling" at the Spring Festival Gala?

    At the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala, RealMan's RealBOT wheeled folding robot used remote teleoperation to open a refrigerator, take out soy sauce, pour soy sauce, and stir dumpling filling; it was the only company among the participating recording enterprises to complete on-site work via remote teleoperation. Its integrated joint module has an MTBF of 50,000 hours, opening the refrigerator door requires an instantaneous torque of about 14 kilograms, pouring soy sauce relies on visual guidance and high-frequency posture correction to achieve zero spills, and mixing the filling is controlled by a remote "isomorphic arm" that records data to feed back into training models for the remote operation network (GLN).

    Dobot Revives Sinosauropteryx with Embodied Intelligence

    Dobot has used robotics technology, bionic structures, and a multimodal embodied intelligence core to "revive" the primitive Sinosauropteryx, enabling it to perceive its environment through vision and touch and to control its body movements autonomously. The team used a hard-shell component skeleton, compliant joints, and bionic tendon-bone coordinated transmission, with the outer skin made of silicone flocked skin implanted by hand. This is the first deployment of its robotic entertainment solution, aimed at high-end cultural tourism, science education, and film special effects, with plans to build a business model of hardware sales plus rental operations, content subscriptions, and offline experiences.

    Clone updates neural joint controller for anthropomorphic hand

    Building a fully actuated robotic hand that matches human-level strength, speed, and range of motion is hard; making it highly durable is even more challenging. Clone has pioneered an anthropomorphic robotic hand with 27 degrees of freedom, human-level grip strength and speed, and the world's most durable artificial muscles. The hand in this demonstration lacks a mid-flexor, but below is the update to the neural joint controller.

    Tianlian Robotics uses video learning to teach robots advanced motion

    Tianlian Robotics has published a video imitation learning training pipeline: extract reference motions with GVHMR/TRAM (or use motion capture datasets such as AMASS), then after human-to-robot joint mapping and training a motion orientation model, use PPO reinforcement learning in simulation with curriculum learning to progress from static poses to long-sequence complex motions, then optimize through domain randomization before deploying to the real robot, with fine-tuning via residual reinforcement learning or adaptive gains. The company says it has achieved key breakthroughs in dynamic force-control precision and stability, and that motions can also be reproduced in real robotic arm operation.

    LimX Dynamics releases LimX DreamActor: a new embodied intelligence training paradigm combining Real2Sim2Real and real-robot reinforcement learning

    LimX Dynamics has introduced LimX DreamActor, an embodied intelligence training paradigm that for the first time deeply integrates Real2Sim2Real, imitation learning, and real-robot reinforcement learning into a full pipeline of "real-world environment data collection—simulation data pretraining—real-robot data post-training." The system can complete multi-view data collection using only a consumer-grade camera; through 3D reconstruction and physical parameter alignment it builds a highly realistic simulation scene, then uses a small amount of real-robot reinforcement learning to complete cross-domain transfer, aiming to improve sample efficiency, convergence speed, and deployment stability.

    New Wandercraft Atalante X exoskeleton case study shows significant gait improvement after stroke

    A Kessler Foundation case study shows that Wandercraft's self-balancing Atalante X exoskeleton helped a 64-year-old patient with chronic left-sided hemiplegia from stroke complete four weeks of robot-assisted walking training, with gait speed rising from 0.09 m/s to 0.19 m/s, cadence increasing 27.8%, and no adverse events. Its powered dynamic ankle joint can replicate physiological gait mechanics, improving weight-bearing symmetry and propulsion. The authors stress that more research is still needed to verify the results, which were presented at the American Physical Therapy Association annual conference.

    [Bubble One Minute] A Compact and Flexible Angular-Spoke Wheel Robot for Uneven and Granular Terrain

    An ICRA 2022 paper proposes a mobile robot named DODO, which uses an angled-spoke wheel (ASW) design to improve driving speed on granular media, asphalt ground, and the transition zones between them. The study used the Taguchi method and an L9 orthogonal array to optimize design parameters, and through experiments selected a single-contact foot configuration, with front and rear ASW toe-in/toe-out angles of 15° and a 30° phase difference to reduce reciprocating motion of the center of mass along the Z axis.
