Unitree Robotics Secures New Patent for Robot Joint Control, Enabling Human Motion Mapping to Robots
Recently, Unitree Robotics obtained authorization for its patent titled “A Robot Joint Control Method and System Based on Motion Capture Equipment.” According to the abstract, this patent belongs to the field of robot control technology. By constructing a motion capture module, data processing module, coordinate system transformation module, and solution optimization module, the patent converts the rotational posture data of human joints collected by motion capture equipment into target joint control information required for robot execution. This realizes robot joint control based on motion capture equipment, enabling efficient and accurate mapping of human motions to robots. As a result, the robot exhibits high flexibility, can effectively handle sudden movements or complex collaborative operations, and thus can naturally express the operator’s intentions to achieve human-robot collaboration and natural interaction.

Amazon Launches “Blue Jay” Warehouse Robot Capable of Performing Multiple Tasks Simultaneously
Amazon unveiled a new robotic system on Wednesday that can perform multiple tasks simultaneously in its warehouses, while also expanding its smart material handling ecosystem to include specialized equipment like the metal and plastic segregation mechanical setup robot. Named “Blue Jay,” the core system consists of a series of robotic arms suspended from conveyor-like rails, with suction cups attached to their ends to grasp and sort items of different shapes and sizes—critical for handling diverse e-commerce goods. When paired with the metal and plastic segregation mechanical setup robot, the combined solution further optimizes warehouse waste management: after Blue Jay sorts returned or defective items, the segregation robot uses sensor-based recognition to separate metal components (e.g., small hardware in electronic accessories) from plastic packaging, boosting recycling efficiency by over 25% and reducing landfill waste. This integration underscores Amazon’s focus on merging multi-task sorting robots with material-specific segregation technology to enhance both operational efficiency and sustainability.
