What's cooler than developments in the lab? Answer: Sharing those developments outside!

August brought various meetup and conference opportunities to the Chironix team with us kicking off the month with a trip to South Australia. The robots also had some out-of-office time with demos scattered throughout the month.

Announcement - Boston Dynamics Spot Update 3.2

First up, an announcement from last week: Boston Dynamics announced its latest features arriving with Spot's latest software update. It's fair to say we were pretty excited!

Event Recap: ARX 2022

This year's Army Robotics Expo was held in early August in Adelaide and we sent a couple of our team to attend!

Event Recap: Mechelmech 2022

Mid-way through the month, we were lucky enough to be invited back to a networking night held by the Curtin Society of Mechatronic Engineering. Like last year, we enjoyed the chance to speak directly to students and they all loved meeting Spot!
