From jumping to walking on water: the next evolution in humanoid robotics
In short: Roboticist Dennis Hong returns to the TED stage to showcase a fleet of advanced, delightful humanoid robots from his UCLA lab. Watch as he demonstrates how his team has eclipsed previous achievements with machines that can jump, dance, and even traverse water.
In this presentation, Dennis Hong provides a glimpse into the future of robotics engineering through a demonstration of seven new species of robots. Developed at his laboratory at UCLA, these machines represent a significant leap forward from the cutting-edge generation he debuted over a decade ago.
The video serves as both a technical demonstration and a time capsule, highlighting the rapid evolution of humanoid capabilities. By showcasing robots that can perform complex movements like dancing and walking on water, Hong illustrates the increasing potential and excitement within the field of robotics.
