Sereact recently revealed PickGPT, a novel robotics transformer that merges Large Language Models (LLMs) with Computer Vision. This development paves the way for guiding robots using natural language, allowing anyone, regardless of their background knowledge in robotics, to interact with these machines.

In this video the Rocking Robots team takes a look at two innovative new robots presented at automatica 2023, the first one a robot by Fizyr, Zivid and The gripper Company that can, among other capabilities, handle transparent objects. The other robot is a lightweight machine by Cognibotics that has a unique combination of speed and reach. In this report we speak to Herbert ten Have, Fizyr; Mats Jonsson, Cognibotics; Henrik Schumann-Olsen, Zivid; Preben Hjørnet, The Gripper Company.

Columbia Engineers design a robot hand that is the first device of its kind to join advanced sense of touch with motor-learning algorithms–it doesn’t rely on vision to manipulate objects.
