Robots Are Having a Good Pandemic - Barron's
Robots are weathering the coronavirus pandemic better than many these days. Recent robot-maker earnings illustrate the point.
Teradyne (ticker: TER) and ABB (ABB) both crushed second-quarter numbers. ABB shares, which trade overseas as well as in the U.S., are up 3.9% in recent trading. Teradyne stock rose 4% in after-hours trading Tuesday, following the company's earnings release. It's down 0.7% in recent trading.
Teradyne makes equipment to test semiconductors, but the company also sells cobots, short for "collaborative robots." which are designed to work along humans, as well as autonomously guided vehicles for warehouses and manufacturing plants.
Using robots to probe how people react to simple behaviours

As a cognitive neuroscientist, I've always been fascinated by the human brain. As the photograph shows, I work with robots — at the intersection of neuroscience and robotics. I'm interested in how the brain processes social signals from robots and humans.
Robotics researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, where my lab is based, developed the iCub, depicted here, to support research in embodied artificial intelligence. That involves equipping software with a physical 'body' and exploring how that body fits into the real world. The iCub can move its eyes, head, arms, hands, waist and legs, and can 'hear' with sensors. We can also generate a behaviour in it, such as turning its head towards a stimulus.

Amazon expands its robot delivery trials to more states - The Verge
Amazon unveiled its six-wheel delivery robot, Scout, in January 2019 , but has only been slowly expanding its field tests. After launching in a single neighborhood in Snohomish County, Washington and then adding a larger site in Irvine, California last August , Scout is now undergoing trials in Atlanta, Georgia and Franklin, Tennessee, Amazon announced today .
It's unclear how many robots are on the road and how many customers Scout is serving. But it seems the bots are very much still prototypes, and are being treated with the caution appropriate for a company that's built its reputation on speedy and reliable delivery.

CMU and Facebook AI Research use machine learning to teach robots to navigate by recognizing
Carnegie Mellon today showed off new research into the world of robotic navigation. With help from the team at Facebook AI Research (FAIR), the university has designed a semantic navigation that helps robots navigate around by recognizing familiar objects.
The SemExp system, which beat out Samsung to take first place in a recent Habitat ObjectNav Challenge, utilizes machine learning to train the system to recognize objects. That goes beyond simple superficial traits, however. In the example given by CMU, the robot is able to distinguish an end table from a kitchen table, and thus extrapolate in which room it's located.
Facebook Fiber Optic Robots | Global Internet Usage
Fiber optic cable is one of the fastest ways to deliver the internet, because its bandwidth is thousands of times greater than, say, coaxial cables—those wires with a pin sticking out from the center that you may have screwed into your WiFi router at some point.
Facebook thinks it has the solution: a robot that crawls along existing power lines to install fiber optic cables without a full crew.

Facebook plans to use a less-common fiber optic installation method, known as a helical wrap, or optical attached cable, to build internet access into pre-existing power lines.
