    Chris Paxton discusses recent advancements in robot sports, particularly the tennis-playing robot from the LATENT paper, showcasing improved whole-body control in humanoid robots. However, he notes the current limitations in onboard sensing and perception, which often rely on external trackers. The post underscores the importance of closing this gap for future robotics development.

    Quoted postChris Paxton@chris_j_paxton

    What do robot sports teach us? We have seen incredibly cool progress in robot soccer and tennis recently, but just as interesting is what we definitely do not see. Robots are increasingly capable of incredibly fluid, reactive whole body control - but their ability to perceive the world while doing so is incredibly limited. And so we see shortcuts being taken, external trackers used, to avoid the limitations of onboard sensing and sensorimotor control while in challenging environments. The future of robotics will require closing this gap. Some thoughts -> https://itcanthink.substack.com/p/what-do-robot-sports-teach-us?r=3uj5js&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

    Motors Don't Need Upgrades, Robots Can Run Faster! Beihang University Science Subjournal Reveals New Logic for Quadruped Locomotion

    Professor Shi Qing's team from Beijing Institute of Technology was inspired by the high-speed running mechanism of the elephant shrew. They designed a micro quadruped robot named FLEXOR equipped with a dual-joint coupled spine. Through dynamic spine-leg coordination, the robot achieved a 31.6% increase in speed and a 32.2% reduction in energy consumption without upgrading its motors. The study reveals the critical role of the timing coordination between the spine and legs in locomotion performance and verifies the universality of this mechanism across different robot morphologies, providing new insights for highly mobile embodied intelligent robots.

    DORA: Divergence-Oriented Data-Relay Algorithm for Partially Connected Robot Teams

    This research presents DORA, a divergence-oriented data-relay algorithm that enhances communication in partially connected UAV teams by prioritizing the value of information to the team. The algorithm quantifies mission-relevant divergence between a robot's information state and its teammates' knowledge, improving MRT resolution delay by up to 74.8% over traditional methods.
