    A robot that can use its arms and body just like a human to lift heavy, large or unwieldy items has been shown off by a branch of car maker Toyota.

    The AI-equipped robot under development, called Puny, is focused on bulky object manipulation using the arms and chest to complement hand and gripper dexterity.

    The team behind it says the hardware is being developed to create “truly capable robots” with capabilities that amplify, rather than replace, people.

    A spokesperson added: “We’re on a mission to help with everyday tasks that require more than just our hands and fingertips.

    “Punyo, embodies this mission.

    “People use their bodies in creative ways to manipulate the world around them.

    “Think about getting groceries into your house in just one trip.

    “You might hold multiple bags in your arms, open the door with your elbow, and then prop it open with your hip as you shuffle in.

    “It’s easy to imagine other tasks, too, such as lifting and stowing large boxes, moving furniture, or collecting piles of laundry, where you use your chest, arms, and other body parts to get these jobs done.

    “For people and robots alike, having soft grippy skin and manipulating objects close to the body make it possible to handle heavier objects with less exertion.”

    OPS: Punyo is being taught a skill by a human operator and can then repeat it autonomously using AI machine learning.

    OPS: Punyo doesn’t have grippers but instead has “paws” — a single high-friction latex bubble with a camera inside. Printed on the inside of these bubbles are dot patterns. When the bubble makes contact with something, the dot pattern deforms. The internal camera uses this deformation to estimate forces

    A quick way to teach robots new skills using artificial intelligence is set to revolutionise the development of the machines.

    It is said to quickly and confidently teach robots new, dexterous skills.

    The advancement is claimed to “significantly” improve robot performance whether humanoid or a factory production line installation.

    The breakthrough has been made by the US-based Toyota Research Institute which is a spin off from Japan’s Toyota car company.

    The new method was used on its own robot platform which is custom-built for dexterous dual-arm manipulation tasks from a fixed base.

    The new skills quickly picked up included whisking eggs, slicing vegetables, putting chocolate spread on a slice of bread and flipping pancakes on a hot grill.

    Institute chief executive Gill Pratt said: “Our research in robotics is aimed at amplifying people rather than replacing them.

    “This new teaching technique is both very efficient and produces very high performing behaviours, enabling robots to much more effectively amplify people in many ways.”
