In this episode of AI News, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has unleashed the mighty Kido 8.0 robot, showcasing a symphony of human-robot coordination that would make even the most seasoned conductor envious. With new AI capabilities, this mechanical marvel effortlessly assists its human partner in moving a desk, demonstrating a level of precision and balance that is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Thanks to integrated Force sensors and an Advanced balance control system, Kido 8.0 is not just a robot – it's a true companion in the real world, ready to tackle delicate tasks and physically demanding scenarios with finesse.
But that's not all – Kawasaki has upped the ante with a redesigned head for Kido 8.0, complete with a spherical monitor that projects a range of images and expressions, turning this machine into a social robot that can convey intentions and emotions in a relatable manner. The future looks even brighter with plans for a teleoperation system, allowing remote control of Kido for tasks in hazardous environments. As Kawasaki continues to refine Kido's software and hardware, the possibilities for autonomous task execution are becoming increasingly tantalizing, paving the way for a new era of robotic capabilities.
Meanwhile, the stage is set for a new contender in the robotics arena with the introduction of Vega, a general-purpose robot designed for adaptability and portability. With high payload arms, dextrous hands, and a foldable torso, Vega is a versatile powerhouse ready to tackle a myriad of tasks across different environments. Equipped with over 36° of Freedom and a high-capacity battery, Vega is a force to be reckoned with in material handling, assembly, and logistics, offering a perfect balance of reach, payload capacity, and mobility. The estimated price range of $80,000 to $130,000 positions Vega as a formidable player in the world of robotics, promising efficiency and reliability in various operational needs.
