Ultralight, strong, and self-reprogrammable mechanical metamaterials

Versatile programmable materials have long been envisioned that can reconfigure themselves to adapt to changing use cases in adaptive infrastructure, space exploration, disaster response, and more. We introduce a robotic structural system as an implementation of programmable matter, with mechanical performance and scale on par with conventional high-performance materials and truss systems. Fiber-reinforced composite truss-like building blocks form strong, stiff, and lightweight lattice structures as mechanical metamaterials. Two types of mobile robots operate over the exterior surface and through the interior of the system, performing transport, placement, and reversible fastening using the intrinsic lattice periodicity for indexing and metrology. Leveraging programmable matter algorithms to achieve scalability in size and complexity, this system design enables robust collective automated assembly and reconfiguration of large structures with simple robots. We describe the system design and experimental results from a 256–unit cell assembly demonstration and lattice mechanical testing, as well as a demonstration of disassembly and reconfiguration. The assembled structural lattice material exhibits ultralight mass density (0.0103 grams per cubic centimeter) with high strength and stiffness for its weight ( 11.38 kilopascals and 1.1129 megapascals, respectively), a material performance realm appropriate for applications like space structures. With simple robots and structure, high mass-specific structural performance, and competitive throughput, this system demonstrates the potential for self-reconfiguring autonomous metamaterials for diverse applications.

collision avoidance

Researchers develop rapid safety check method that ensures a robot will avoid collisions

Before a robot can grab dishes off a shelf to set the table, it must ensure its gripper and arm won't crash into anything and potentially shatter the fine china. As part of its motion planning process, a robot typically runs "safety check" algorithms that verify its trajectory is collision-free.

In my opinion, humanoid-shaped robots will not thrive. Their balancing system would consume too much energy and processing power, and when they break down they can fall on a sick person or child. Combat robots must be spider-like with the ability to change color, climb walls, make big jumps, and move at incredible speed through difficult terrain.

[Rhinocrates]

Re Justo Miranda's comment above, I agree that humanoid robots will not be ubiquitous, but they seem to be most likely to be used as human surrogates or replacements in environments built for humans. Factories have long used non-humanoid robots but it looks like humanoids are being brought in to perform tasks previously done exclusively by humans because of the ergonomics and architecture of existing factories. A fully-automated, clean sheet factory would not necessarily require any humanoids.

Anyway, here's news on one of those 'interim' robots.

Magna car plant will test a humanoid robot - Autoblog

Sanctuary AI announced that it will be delivering its humanoid robot to a Magna manufacturing facility for testing.

www.autoblog.com

Environments that are designed for humans, especially hospitals and care facilities, will require robots that can use spaces and equipment designed for humans, which would drive them to have some humanoid features such as hands but overall body plans might not be. A centaur type perhaps? Teleoperation where a human remotely operates a dextrous robot might drive this body form. Still, a centaur takes up space and you can park a humanoid in a closet rather than having to use the garage.

I haven't hear much about NASA's Robonaut or Russia's FEDOR lately, other than that Robonaut 2 broke down and was returned to earth from the ISS and that was about 2018. A centaur variant was studied and I expect that teleoperated robots will play a role in the Artemis programme.

Interaction with humans brings with it psychological and marketing issues such as uncanny valley, 'cuteness', and 'coolness.' I don't believe that everyone would want a Cylon Centurion clanking about their home serving drinks but some people really would because it would be cool to the sort of person who spends millions on a Bugatti special edition.
