Moxi is the hospital robot assistant that helps clinical staff with non-patient-facing tasks like gathering supplies and bringing them to patient rooms. Moxi robot can also deliver lab samples, fetching items from central supply, and removing soiled linen bags. Automation helps hospitals maintain consistent care workflows and gives staff more time for patient care. Moxi is a hospital robot assistant that helps clinical teams with their routine, non-patient facing tasks so they have more time for patient care. "We want clinical staff to have more time to take care of patients (providing comfort, connection, analytical thinking) not doing the busy work away from the bedside. Our robot assistants support people operating in dynamic, semi-structured environments. They’re able to do this through an A.I. framework that includes social intelligence, mobile manipulation and human-guided learning." Images credit Diligent robotics source Diligent robotics

Scientists created first living robots designed by supercomputers, that are fully programmable. UVM and Tufts team builds tiny 'xenobots' assembled from cells, promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up.

On the right, the living organism, built entirely from frog skin (green) and heart muscle (red) cells.

But it is not a tree. The dead cells have been repurposed to serve another need. Now a team of scientists has repurposed living cells—scraped from frog embryos—and assembled them into entirely new life-forms. These millimeter-wide "xenobots" can move toward a target, perhaps pick up a payload (like a medicine that needs to be carried to a specific place inside a patient)—and heal themselves after being cut. "These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism."

Credit Douglas Blackiston, Tufts University The new creatures were designed on a supercomputer at UVM—and then assembled and tested by biologists at Tufts University. "We can imagine many useful applications of these living robots that other machines can't do," says co-leader Michael Levin who directs the Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology at Tufts, "like searching out nasty compounds or radioactive contamination, gathering microplastic in the oceans, traveling in arteries to scrape out plaque." The results of the new research were published January 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . source University of Vermont

Q: Atlas Robot- more parkour

Atlas robot uses its whole body -- legs, arms, torso -- to perform a sequence of dynamic maneuvers that form a gymnastic routine. Boston Dynamics created the maneuvers using new techniques that streamline the development process. First, an optimization algorithm transforms high-level descriptions of each maneuver into dynamically-feasible reference motions. Then Atlas tracks the motions using a model predictive controller that smoothly blends from one maneuver to the next. Using this approach, we developed the routine significantly faster than previous Atlas routines, with a performance success rate of about 80%. source Boston Dynamics
