Researchers at ETH Zürich have taught ANYmal-D, a four-legged manipulator robot, to play badminton against humans. The system uses a reinforcement-learning controller that integrates vision, locomotion, and arm manipulation to intercept and return shots. While the robot isn’t yet at human-competitive level, the work demonstrates how sport can serve as a proxy task for developing robots with dynamic perception-motion coordination—a capability relevant for applications such as search and rescue or

This weird robot is not only fun to watch but also gets the job done with high precision and speed. Zaber Tripteron is a parallel manipulator that uses three parallelogram linkages to create a high-speed motion platform that can move in any direction. Developed by Zaber Technologies, a Canadian industrial automation manufacturer, Tripteron is a versatile kinematics solution that can be used in a wide range of applications, especially when high precision and accuracy are required or when space is
