RIVR is hiring AI engineers. Come spin the data flywheel with us! 👇👇👇

Swiss robotics company RIVR has designed a robot to carry packages from a delivery truck to your doorstep using artificial intelligence. Named Milo, the robot was showcased at NVIDIA’s annual software developer conference in San Jose, California, this week

A new chapter begins

@chris_j_paxton We've been using them for a year now, and it really is amazing hardware. We do our own control, so I can't speak to the off-the-shelf performance but the video certainly is impressive.

Kinda want one of these

@Neurotronic67 @swiss_mile @nvidia @NVIDIARobotics Yes

@swiss_mile @nvidia @NVIDIARobotics Does it use perception (with the lidar) + proprioception during training ?

We have such an amazing team ♥️ While the video is fun, pushing our robot hardware to its limits is crucial to fully understanding it. On our journey to maximal speed, we learned a few things which will directly improve customer experience.

Running legged robots with AI. Today we met @swiss_mile, the team connecting AI with the physical world using autonomous machines. An ideal mobile robot needs to move quickly, overcoming obstacles while carrying heavy loads—something current robots still struggle with. Many robots haven't been widely adopted due to issues with real-world problem-solving. To address this, the Swiss-mile team have created a solution that combines robots with wheels and legs, powered by advanced AI. These robots can walk, drive, stand, open doors, and even handle packages. By integrating these features, the team are on a mission to push automation forward beyond stationary robotic arms and have raised $22m in Seed Funding from Jeff Bezos, HongShan, Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Armada Investment to do so.

Showing the potential of wheeled-legged robots

@IrvingRobotics @eastskykang @UnitreeRobotics @leggedrobotics This is only a teaser of much more to come from us at @swiss_mile.

Combine the efficiency of wheeled robots on flat surfaces and the off-road capability of legged robots. Dynamically choose the best hybrid gait, integrating wheel rolling and leg stepping, based on the terrain under the wheels. @UnitreeRobotics @leggedrobotics From #Swiss-Mile

Really happy to share the new robot platform for our embodied AI 🤖

Transformer robot is now opening doors for you! @ETH @swiss_mile @eth_dmavt Full video: youtu.be/Qob2k_ldLuw Authors: Clemens Schwarke, Victor Klemm, Matthijs van der Boon, Marko Bjelonic, and Marco Hutter #robotics #ai #reinforcementlearning #ethzurich

Read about our involvement in the recent HSG Grand Challenge on the EU AI Act and its impact on robotics.

Congratulations to our latest doctoral graduates, Lorenz Wellhausen, Yves Zimmermann and Ruben Grandia, for receiving their doctoral diploma. @eth_dmavt @ETH_en #graduation

Flat terrain ≠ flat terrain. A showcase for why terrain semantics matter for #Robots even in urban environments.

Today I concluded my 5 years of research on legged robot navigation and passed my doctoral defense. Thanks to my committee Marco Hutter, @rsiegwart and @MauriceFallon.
