IDTechEx Research: Sidewalk Robots: A Billion-Dollar-Market by 2030?
In recent years, many companies around the world have been innovating to utilize autonomous mobile robots, drones, and autonomous vehicle technology. In this article, we focus on ground-based autonomous robots.
This report “Mobile Robots, Autonomous Vehicles, and Drones in Logistics, Warehousing, and Delivery 2020-2040” covers the use of mobile robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles in delivery, warehousing, and logistics. It provides a comprehensive analysis of all the key players, technologies, and markets.
Opinion | When Robots Provide the Care - The New York Times
Those original "Star Wars" characters are the ultimate in benevolent artificial intelligence, unlike HAL in "2001: A Space Odyssey."
I trust that our children will know the difference and remember their mother's preferences, if and when the time comes to engage robotic help to care for me.

Given the vast majority of adults I encounter who cannot walk from one room to another, go to the bathroom, eat a meal or leave the house without clutching a smartphone for support, it takes no leap of faith to expect someone socially isolated by dementia to find comfort in a robot cat.
Robots can write your holiday cards — in humanlike handwriting - The Washington Post
Roger and Vonita Byous were surprised when an anniversary card from their son arrived in the mail. They were even more surprised by the unrecognizable handwriting inside.
"I just started wondering, 'Whaaat?' " said Roger, 73. "It didn't look quite right, but we couldn't figure out why."

These robot-scribed cards and letters are testing the proposition that machines can generate the intimacy of a handwritten note. Some services include smudges and ink blots in their mailings. Others program the robots to be imprecise — varying the pressure on the pens, for example, or inconsistently sizing characters and spacing — to make the writing appear believably human.

Robots come to Michigan MRF - Waste Today
Emmet County, Michigan, is in the process of making $2.4 million in upgrades at its material recovery facility (MRF), including extending presort lines, installing a glass breaker screen to break and separate glass and adding three artificial intelligence (AI) robots provided by Colorado-based Amp Robotics .
The upgrades will help replace old equipment at the MRF, which the county purchased 10 years ago from Outagamie County, Wisconsin, improve efficiencies and reduce labor costs , says Andi Shepherd, recycling director for Emmet County Recycling .
Service Robots Are Coming To Your Door | RoboticsTomorrow
Let’s start with robots in the home. You might already have a handy robot hoover to help you keep the house free from dust and debris but there are even more helpful robots that can do so much more.

These range from information giving kitchen robots like Mykie to the super impressive robotic limbs known as Moley . Mykie is the smaller of the two, an information giver which can look up recipes and project videos to assist you in the kitchen. Moley goes not just one step but a few steps further. Moley is a robotic kitchen that will cook you a delicious meal and then - and this may be the best bit - Moley will clean up after itself.
Robots Making Food - Grilling - Robots Can Grill Hot Dogs
Thanks to a couple of salivating canines, robot fry cooks can whip up a pretty impressive hot dog. That's because both the dogs and the robots have a connection to reinforcement learning, a concept in human psychology that uses reinforcement, or reward, to condition a given organism's biological responses.
This is how the team managed to guide the real robots through the task of making and assembling a hot dog. It builds upon prior work that researchers have conducted in the field of robotic reinforcement learning, applied to human food-making tasks.
Let's roll: robots let bed-ridden friends keep up with friends
A group of children is huddled around a craft table making snowman ornaments at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite when they’re greeted by what looks like a Segway scooter with a tablet affixed to the top.

In recent months, patients have used Garth and Trisha — named after the musician and his famous wife, Trisha Yearwood — to take part in scavenger hunts, meet-and-greets with members of the Atlanta Falcons and select Halloween costumes and holiday gifts for their families.
