Fully 3D-printed and controlled via a locally run large language model (LLM) chatbot, the robot can be assembled for as little ... This setup works with popular microcontrollers—5V Arduino and 3.3V ...

But unlike Pixar’s animated robot, Newt is real—and ready for ... From there, DeWitt began creating digital 3D CAD models to finalize the design. After several rounds of revisions, they ...

It was just this March that we told you about a hexapod bot created at UC San Diego, which was 3D-printed in one continuous 58-hour step. That robot was powered not by a motor but by compressed ...

For context on the pricing, Tesla's Optimus Gen 2 humanoid robot (while admittedly much more advanced, at least in theory) is ...

There are a few languages that fit in the gray area between these regions, and one example of this is MOUSE, which can now be run on an Arduino. Although MOUSE was originally meant to be a ...

'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean? ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources ...

Want a robot that can skim leaves that haven’t yet sunk to the floor? Look for a model with a skimming feature–although note that these won’t provide perfect coverage due to the tendency of ...

The estimate is achieved by fitting a statistical, morphable model of 3D faces to images. The model is learned from a set of textured 3D scans of heads. We describe the construction of the morphable ...

“We can now scan from multiple perspectives for robot motion and get complete 3D data that combines viewing perspectives,” he noted. “[With] part geometries like thin metal sheets or L-shaped parts ...

Boston Dynamics designed the robot’s vision system to handle these challenges through a combination of 2D and 3D awareness ... The perception models must work in real time, balancing performance ...

The robot's 3D-printable parts can be reproduced with at least a 200 x 200 x 200 mm build space. The finished robot is stands at around 2.6 feet (0.8 m) tall and weighs about 35 pounds (16 kg).
