VR Teleoperation on the AI WORKER with Apple Vision Pro! 🕶️🤖 This amazing setup was built using the PAPRLE framework. A massive shout-out to UIUC KIMLAB for their fantastic open-source project. Big thanks to the team! 🙌

Spooky, spooky mobile robots! 🎃 I still prefer carving pumpkins with his family, but this robot gives him some serious competition. It’s built on a mobile base, with a torso with robots arms, and PSYONIC dexterous hands. One arm handles grip and stability, while the other does the actual carving, creating patterns right in the pumpkin. A brilliant design from KIMLAB (Kinetic Intelligent Machine LAB).

3D-Printed Robotic Hand with Air-Pressure and Capacitive Sensing Developed by KIMLAB, this three-fingered robotic hand integrates soft tactile sensors that combine air-pressure and capacitive proximity sensing to detect contact and nearby conductive objects. The design uses 3D-printed components and six servo motors, demonstrating a low-cost, accessible approach to robotic grasping and tactile feedback research.

Dance with CHILD (Controller for Humanoid Imitation and Live Demonstration) KIMLAB developed CHILD (Controller for Humanoid Imitation and Live Demonstration), a control interface inspired by the natural way parents guide their children’s movements while using a baby carrier. In this setting, the parent’s full range of motion intuitively maps to the child’s, enabling scaled-down puppeteering. The system also draws conceptual inspiration from The Mandalorian, where Grogu controls a humanoid robot (IG-11) from within, acting as a pilot.

What if a Vacuum Robot Has an Arm? Since their mass production in the early 2000s, vacuum robots have emerged as highly successful commercial products in the field of home automation. Many companies and innovators have endeavored to enhance these machines by integrating various capabilities. At KIMLAB, they have implemented a mobile manipulator based on a vacuum robot and an add-on mechanism by employing their PAPRAS (Plug-And-Play Robotic Arm System). This video shows that the system navigates specified locations on a map, opens doors, and handles objects on its route, placing them in other positions.
