I’m not totally sure yet about the utility of having a small arm on a robot vacuum, but I love that this is a real thing. At least, it is at CES this year.

We posted about SwitchBot’s new modular home robot system earlier this week, but here’s a new video showing some potentially useful hardware combinations.

Yes, it’s in sim, but (and this is a relatively new thing) I will not be shocked to see this happen on Unitree’s hardware in the near future.

With ongoing advancements in system engineering, LimX Dynamics’ full-size humanoid robot features a hollow actuator design and high torque-density actuators, enabling full-body balance for a wide range of motion. Now it achieves complex full-body movements in a ultra stable and dynamic manner.

We’ve seen hybrid quadrotor bipeds before, but this one , which is imitating the hopping behavior of Jacana birds, is pretty cute.
What’s a Jacana bird, you ask? It’s these things, which surely must have the most extreme foot to body ratio of any bird:
Also, much respect to the researchers for confidently titling this supplementary video “An Extremely Elegant Jump.”

Twelve minutes flat from suitcase to mobile manipulator. Not bad!
