Warehouses Look to Robots to Fill Labor Gaps, Speed Deliveries - WSJ
Growing numbers of self-driving machines are shuttling clothing and sports equipment down warehouse aisles, pulling bins of groceries, cosmetics and industrial parts from high stacks and handing off goods to human workers to help deliver orders faster. Some logistics operators are testing forklifts that can be operated from remote locations, allowing employers in tight labor markets to draw from a geographically broader pool of workers.
The push toward automation comes as businesses say they can't hire warehouse workers fast enough to meet surging online demand for everything from furniture to frozen food in pandemic-disrupted supply chains. The crunch is accelerating the adoption of robots and other technology in a sector that still largely relies on workers pulling carts.

It's summertime for robots, says UK industry showcase
While these fears are understandable to a degree, it isn't a narrative that solves any problems or moves the UK closer to creating a modern, competitive, productive economy that could benefit everyone. It also ignores the new ventures and jobs that advanced technologies are creating, not to mention the question of why some engineering and design challenges are being addressed in the first place (to make machines easier for humans to collaborate with).
Prior to the pandemic, a 2018 World Economic Forum report predicted that while there would be significant job losses in some industries and in routine-based, admin, or middle-management roles, there would be a net gain of 58 million jobs from Industry 4.0 systems.

Retail Robots Are Everywhere, Except in Consumer Electronics
Quick, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word robot? It's likely anything from a walking, talking C-3PO-like bipod to a wheeled cylinder-like R2D2 to an unstable computer like HAL 9000. The truth is, just about anything mechanized that can pull off human actions can be considered a robot. It doesn't need to look like a human, either.
What's In Store
"The general trend is that we're seeing more robots in retail stores," says John Harmon, senior analyst at Coresight Research. "That's picked up quite a bit during the pandemic. The major applications tend to be among mass merchandisers and grocery stores.
Deep Science: Robots, meet world – TechCrunch
Research papers come out far too frequently for anyone to read them all. That's especially true in the field of machine learning, which now affects (and produces papers in) practically every industry and company. This column aims to collect some of the most relevant recent discoveries and papers — particularly in, but not limited to, artificial intelligence — and explain why they matter.
This edition, we have a lot of items concerned with the interface between AI or robotics and the real world. Of course most applications of this type of technology have real-world applications, but specifically this research is about the inevitable difficulties that occur due to limitations on either side of the real-virtual divide.
Khaled El Mays' Transformers furniture collection evokes crouched robots
Lebanese designer Khaled El Mays has designed the Transformers collection, featuring a handmade sofa and armchairs that look like they could stand up and unfurl into giant creatures.
The collection is partly informed by the famous Japanese-American franchise of the same name, where humanoid autonomous robots transform into cars, trucks and other machines.
But here the forms are heavily abstracted and romanticised, as El Mays wanted to convey the complicated shapes and large proportions with just a few elements.
Coretrust office building upgrades include robots
LOS ANGELES — From the moment an employee comes back to work at the old "L.A. Law" building in downtown Los Angeles, almost everything will be touch-free.
Once they arrive at the parking garage, an employee would need to wave or flash a key card at a dispenser to enter.
Inside the lobby, an elevator with only a few buttons will whisk them directly to their desired floor.
Employees and visitors will also experience the building's upgraded air filtration system inside the ducts that pump fresh air in all 48 floors and sterilize airborne bio-contaminants.
