#Ukrainian forces have for the 1st time #captured #RussianTroops relying solely on #drones & ground-based robots

For 1st time in history: #RussianSoldiers #surrendered to 3rd Assault Brigade’s ground drones

#Ukraine increasingly employs drone, #robotic technologies on #battlefield as part of strategy to minimize troop losses and adapt to evolving threats along the front line during Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The Kyiv Independent · In historic feat, Ukraine's 3rd Brigade captures Russian troops using only drones and robots, military saysBy Anna Fratsyvir

#Ukrainian forces successfully attacked #Russian positions using only ground & (FPV) #drones instead of #infantry

Dozens of units of #robotic & #unmanned equipment” supported by surveillance drones were used in assault near village of #Lyptsi north of Kharkiv

Drones included ground systems with machine guns, & kamikaze drones

Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said attack shows difference in attitude towards front line troops shown by Moscow & Kyiv

What would you love to know about how #robots learn new skills? 🤖

In the new season, I'll be chatting to Dr. Gabriella Pizzuto from the University of Liverpool about machine learning for intelligent #robotic manipulators in chemistry labs.

Send me your questions for Gabriella in the comments below or on the Robot Talk website: robottalk.org/ask-a-question/

Asrar led a team of #NASA and European Space Agency #ESA experts that included NASA’s Dana Bolles, an #engineer working with NASA for 30 years. Bolles is a #DisabilityAmbassador in space and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths ,#STEM, and was part of the first crew of #DisabledProfessionals that flew in zero-gravity under #MissionAstroAccess (an organization that promotes #disability in STEM and space). The other co-author is Dr. Thu Jennifer Ngo-Anh from the European Space Agency (ESA), who has served as Team Leader for ESA’s Human and #Robotic Exploration, responsible for coordinating ground-based and space-based science activities.

Asrar is also a national mentor for #Equity, #Diversity, #Inclusion, and #Accessibility #EDIA in primary care through an initiative under the Equity in #Health Systems Lab and College of Family #Physicians of #Canada

🐶 Welcome the new four-legged #robotic friend of #Ukraine defenders! This robo-dog, used at one of the Ukrainian brigades, has many talents and a wide potential on the battlefield.

The robo-dog is just one of many examples of innovative #technologies the Ukrainian forces actively use. Modern military tech is a key to success in modern warfare, and Ukrainians got it 💪🇺🇦

New #DIS2024 paper: "Designing Plant Driven Actuators". In it, we (Yuhan, @xjasminelu , @hoffman et al) challenge designers to reimagine what #HRI #robots could be like, embracing characteristics from plants (slowness, spontaneity, and even decay) and exploring their translation to #robotic actuation or even #haptics

Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/364

#GenerativeAI, #FoundationModels, #LLMs, and all of that hokey nonsense shall not appear in my #robotics roadmaps as anything other than a neat research item until it can demonstrate a feasible path to #FunctionalSafety or mathematical completeness.

I lead #Product on the largest mobile-#robotic fleet known to humankind. I will not entrust decisions that could maim or kill to a pile of nondeterminate math prone to “hallucinations” or confabulation.
