SUMMARY:2nd What Bimanuals Can Do (WBCD 2026) Competition
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\nAttend the 2nd What Bimanuals can do (WBCD 2026) competition\n\nThe WBCD Competition challenges teams to solve real-world manipulation tasks that represent actual industry needs with billion-dollar market potential. Unlike typical research benchmarks\, our tasks are carefully designed by leading robotics companies to address genuine commercial applications in logistics\, life sciences\, and manufacturing. \nCompete for a $200\,000 total prize pool\, with first-place winners receiving a competition robot worth $50\,000-$60\,000. Teams will use bimanual teleoperation systems to complete complex tasks requiring coordinated dual-arm manipulation—a critical capability for next-generation automation.

SUMMARY:Boston Robot Hackers - Power Management in Robots
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Alan will explain the core elements of robot power systems by covering battery chemistries\, physical formats\, charge and discharge behavior\, and the safety and environmental limits that define how those batteries can be used. He will then show how these fundamentals connect to practical voltage‑regulation methods\, the ways power consumption is measured\, and the control circuitry that helps a robot use its battery more efficiently and extend its operating life. \nSpeaker: Alan Kilian\nHe’s a retired software and firmware engineer with deep roots in high‑performance computing\, long experience at Cray\, and a lifelong passion for robotics. He founded and led multiple robotics communities\, built countless projects\, and continues to design and fabricate hardware using modern tools like OnShape and a Prusa MK4S.
