The pandemic has turned cleaning and other mundane building tasks into a challenge, stoking interest in machines as cost-effective solutions.

The Neo is a four-foot-tall, 1,000-pound robot floor scrubber. The high-tech machine can cruise large commercial buildings on its own, with no human supervision required.
Since its introduction in 2016, Neo's sales have roughly doubled each year, said Faizan Sheikh, the chief executive and a co-founder of Avidbots , the Canadian start-up that created the robot. This year, however, demand has shot up 100 percent just since the pandemic-induced shutdown in March. Suddenly, the need for thorough, reliable and frequent cleaning is front and center.

Robots & Puddles: Surprises From Army RCV Test « Breaking Defense - Defense industry
Private-sector R&D has made for tremendous advances in self-driving vehicles – though they're still not street-legal – but those cars are designed to drive on roads. Army combat robots must maneuver cross-country , and as soldiers found in five weeks of field tests now wrapping up at Fort Carson, that's a lot trickier for machines.
The service has a multi-year plan to push the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, evolving from today's experimental Robotic Combat Vehicles — geriatric M113 troop carriers upgraded with new electronics so they can operate unmanned – to a family of purpose-built RCVs ranging from seven-ton scouts to a 20-ton mini-tank .
Robots delivering food at Georgia Southern to help keep students safe
STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - A team of motorized robots could soon become a common site around Georgia Southern. They'll deliver meals with contactless delivery.
The idea of robotic deliveries on a university campus might have seemed like a novelty less than a year ago. But, with COVID-19, it could become as vital a piece of PPE as your mask.
It may look like a picnic cooler on wheels. But these new robots will soon navigate the Statesboro campus better than some freshmen.

Pandemic Tantrums? Enter the Robot Playmate for Kids - WSJ
The pandemic lockdown has been hard on tweens, teens and adults of all ages. But its effects have been especially difficult for younger children, who thrive on the kind of physical interaction and social-learning they get at school.
As this pandemic lingers and many schools remain closed, some companies are gearing up to sell robot playmates.
Greenfield Robotics Uses Robots to Tackle Weeds
Greenfield Robotics is on a mission to help farmers grow food with fewer chemicals. Rather than using the traditional method of applying herbicides and tilling the ground to control weeds, Greenfield uses a fleet of lightweight robots to take on the task.
I spoke with Clint Brauer, the CEO of Greenfield Robotics, by phone this week, and he said that the main purpose of Greenfield's robots is to mow down aggressive broadleaf weeds, specifically the fast-growing pigweed. Greenfield's robots currently operate in soybean fields, and the next crop will be milo (grain sorghum).
World – With nearly 4 million industrial robots by 2022, demand will rise for workers with
The International Federation of Robotics says there will be almost 4 million industrial robots in factories worldwide by 2022. And while that will drive demand for workers skilled in robots, countries must update their educational systems.
"Governments and companies around the globe now need to focus on providing the right skills necessary to work with robots and intelligent automation systems," said Milton Guerry, president of the International Federation of Robotics.
