@GeekAndDad @provuejim the car I fell in love with at the Automotive #XPRIZE was the Commuter Cars Tango #EV. Impressive performance, astounding engineering making it safe (I got a tour when it was on a lift), and a professional fit and finish. Here’s a video montage of the Tango in action https://youtu.be/WxJ1I0OqCz8

"“Findings from the competition will continue to be reviewed in detail. They will augment our own biodiversity data compiled through NParks’ comprehensive surveys and long-term monitoring efforts,” [Singapore’s National Parks Board’s (NParks) group director of conservation Lim Liang Jim] added."

How might real-life robotic avatars change life on Earth? In honor of the release of "Avatar: The Way of Water,: here's a short series of sci-fi vignettes by Jacki Morie, technical lead for the #Avatar #XPRIZE. Be sure to check out the #FictionScience podcast! https://cosmiclog.com/a-few-short-vignettes-from-a-robotic-future/

Avatars return to the movies - and find a real-life foothold:

Thirteen years after the original “Avatar” movie came out, the idea of human minds inhabiting alien bodies is returning for an amped-up sequel ⁠— and since 2009, real-life efforts to create robotic avatars have advanced at least as much as computer-aided filmmaking has.

It's pretty interesting to look at the parallels between the blue-skinned avatars in "Avatar: The Way of Water" and the robotic avatars that earned their creators millions of dollars in the ANA Avatar XPRIZE. Thanks to the folks who discussed all this with me for a new episode of the #FictionScience podcast. Give it a listen! https://cosmiclog.com/2022/12/15/avatar-movies-real-life-foothold/ #Avatar #XPRIZE #Robotics

One year ago, #X was in the news about their project of having everyday #robots out of the lab: https://x.company/blog/posts/everyday-robots
I wonder where this is at. The fact that the last #xprize was about #teleoperation is perhaps a clue that they are still at the phase where they want to collect data with a #woz approach.

“ The top-scoring system (NimbRo from Bonn University in Germany nimbro.net/AVATAR/) had some serious technology, especially on the operator side. They basically built a full replica of the robotic arms for the operator to manipulate
