Autonomy and AI developments have vied with bionics and Tesla Bots for some of the year’s biggest news
https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-robotics-stories-2022
INTRO: 2022 was a huge year for robotics. Yes, I might say this every year, and yes, every year I might also say that each year is more significant than any other. But seriously: This year was the best. After a tough pandemic (which, let’s be clear, is still not over), conferences and events have started to come back, research has resumed, and robots have continued to make their way into the world. It really has been a great year.
And on a personal note, we’d like to thank you, all of you, for reading (and hopefully enjoying) our work. We’d be remiss if we didn’t also thank those of you who provide awesome stuff for us to write about. So, please enjoy this quick look back at some of our most popular and most impactful stories of 2022. Here’s wishing for more and better in 2023! (MORE - details)
COVERED:
The Bionic-Hand Arms Race
For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is Exactly What We Expected
Autonomous Drones Challenge Human Champions in First “Fair” Race
How Robots Can Help Us Act and Feel Younger
DARPA’s RACER Program Sends High-Speed Autonomous Vehicles Off-Road
Boston Dynamics AI Institute Targets Basic Research
Alphabet’s Intrinsic Acquires Majority of Open Robotics
The 11 Commandments of Hugging Robots
Labrador Addresses Critical Need With Deceptively Simple Home Robot
Even as It Retires, ASIMO Still Manages to Impress
