    Cubic Doggo update: Wouf walks while carrying a 1 kg payload

    Wouf, the quadruped robot in the Cubic Doggo project, managed to stagger a few steps while carrying a 1 kg load (about half its own weight), even though the steering gait code had not been fixed. Its ST-3215-C018 servos are not fast, and the author is excited about the result of this payload test and is considering having it carry the SO-ARM101, which also uses 12 servos. The build code has been released on GitHub.

    Xiaomi unveils 21-DoF biomimetic dexterous hand, validated on 1,827 factory SOPs

    Xiaomi has disclosed its exploration results for a biomimetic dexterous hand, designing a new 21-DoF biomimetic dexterous hand based on the collection and analysis of 1,827 standard operating procedures (SOPs) at Xiaomi's automobile factory. Simulation ablation analysis showed that in the 17–21 DoF range, the average stable grasp success rate improved by 15%–38% compared with 6–15 DoF, while the improvement slowed markedly at 23 DoF and above. The hand uses a hybrid actuation and tendon tension control scheme, with systematic optimization of the heat dissipation system and full-palm tactile sensing.

    RAIWAY: 20-inch large-wheel bipedal robot uses contact-informed blind locomotion control to traverse rugged terrain

    A Korean team proposed the RAIWAY wheeled bipedal robot and a contact-informed control method. The robot is equipped with 20-inch wheels and can roll across irregular and discontinuous terrain. The method distills multi-contact events into a latent representation in simulation, and at deployment infers it online from proprioception alone, requiring no contact sensors. Real-world tests covered steep slopes, gravel, studded surfaces, and rocky terrain, and demonstrated continuous ascent on outdoor stairs with step heights up to 15 cm, outperforming baselines without the contact-informed mechanism.
