Merry HARCO-MAS!: 2025 Christmas Celebration with Robots

Celebrating Teacher’s Day at HARCO Lab

To celebrate the 2025 holiday season, members of HARCO Lab produced a special Christmas video titled “MERRY HARCO MAS!” featuring our latest robotic platforms.

The video showcases a collaborative effort between humans and robots to decorate the lab for Christmas. The production highlights the integration of various technologies, including:

• Unitree Go2 (Rudolph): Acted as a mobile delivery platform, navigating the lab to bring ornaments.
• Lower-limb Exoskeleton: Worn by researchers to assist in moving the Christmas tree and other equipment.
• Dual-arm & Collaborative Robots: Precisely placed decorations and the star atop the tree using advanced control strategies.

This project was not only a festive celebration but also a demonstration of Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in a creative and interactive environment. Through the seamless interaction between the AI-driven Go2, the wearable exoskeleton, and the robotic manipulators, we shared our vision of a future where robots and humans work together harmoniously.

Happy Holidays from everyone at HARCO Lab!
