In this thrilling episode of AI News, we witness Foundation's MK1 robot Phantom strutting its stuff with humanlike movements that'll make your jaw drop. Thanks to a groundbreaking vision-based approach that favors cameras over sensors, this robot is a true game-changer in the world of robotics. With its cyclloid actuators delivering smooth, agile responses and openloop force control enhancing safety, the Phantom is a force to be reckoned with. And let's not forget about that impressive 118 foot-pounds peak torque and lightning-fast walking speed of 3.28 ft/s - this robot means business.
But hold on to your seats, because Nvidia's R2-D2 is here to steal the show with its top AI robot dexterity workflows that are simply mind-blowing. From the dextrous grasping capabilities of Dextra RGB to the revolutionary Dex Mimic Gen transforming bimanual manipulation, Nvidia is pushing the boundaries of what robots can do. And let's not overlook Grasp Gen, with its massive synthetic data set on HuggingFace containing over 57 million grasps for various grippers - a treasure trove for researchers looking to train future grasping policies.
So buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, as we dive deep into the world of cutting-edge robotics and witness firsthand the incredible advancements being made by Foundation and Nvidia. From the Phantom's remarkable humanlike movements to the game-changing AI robot dexterity workflows unveiled by Nvidia, this is a journey you won't want to miss. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be amazed by the future of robotics unfolding right before your eyes.
