The only reason that this is the second video in Video Friday this week, and not the first, is because you’ve almost certainly already seen it.

This is a collaboration between the Robotics and AI Institute and Boston Dynamics, and RAI has its own video, which is slightly different:

After hours of dance battles with professional choreographers (yes, real human dancers!), PM01 now nails every iconic move from Kung Fu Hustle.

Sanctuary AI has demonstrated industry-leading sim-to-real transfer of learned dexterous manipulation policies for our unique, high degree-of-freedom, high strength, and high speed hydraulic hands.

This video is “introducing BotQ, Figure’s new high-volume manufacturing facility for humanoid robots,” but I just see some injection molding and finishing of a few plastic parts.

What’s in the bags, though?

This hurts my knees to watch, in a few different ways.

Seven hours of Digit robots at work at ProMat.

And there are two more days of these livestreams if you need more!
