Researchers have unveiled a two-armed robot capable of playing baseball, throwing, catching and hitting balls with human-like motion. The team achieved this by designing robot arms with compliant joints, making them more agile and allowing more natural, flexible movement than conventional rigid robots. The breakthrough is drawing attention as a showcase of how soft, compliant robotics could extend machines' abilities into fast, dynamic sports and other human-like physical tasks.
Why now: A robot performing a fast, skill-heavy human sport highlights a notable advance in agile, compliant robot arms.
