Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) and the Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi, UAE, recently conducted a demonstration of X1, a multirobot system developed as part of a three-year collaboration between the two institutes. During the demo, M4, a multimodal robot developed by CAST, launches in drone-mode from a humanoid robot’s back. It lands and converts into driving mode and then back again, as needed. The demonstration underscored the kind of progress that is possible when engineers from multiple institutions at the forefront of autonomous systems and technologies truly collaborate.
