Albuquerque, NM, June 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Build With Robots, an Albuquerque-based, worker integrated robotics and automation firm, is changing the way companies get back to work. The company has grown automating the drudgery and risk of many jobs.
During the COVID pandemic shutdown, the company shifted its focus on creating disinfecting robots, which are now being used nationwide in schools, airports and businesses. The demand continues to surge, and the company has tripled its space and plans on doubling its workforce by the end of 2022. Sales are expected to be in excess of $10 million in 2021.
Training robots to manipulate soft and deformable objects | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of
Robots can solve a Rubik's cube and navigate the rugged terrain of Mars, but they struggle with simple tasks like rolling out a piece of dough or handling a pair of chopsticks. Even with mountains of data, clear instructions, and extensive training, they have a difficult time with tasks easily picked up by a child.
A new simulation environment, PlasticineLab , is designed to make robot learning more intuitive. By building knowledge of the physical world into the simulator, the researchers hope to make it easier to train robots to manipulate real-world objects and materials that often bend and deform without returning to their original shape.

Austin to pilot delivery robots
AUSTIN (KXAN) — You might see something you’re not used to rolling down the streets of Austin.
The Austin Transportation Department wants you to know you might spot these three-wheeled delivery robots along South Congress.
The plan is for the robots to operate in the bike lanes. They’ll move into the road if there’s no bike lane, so be aware.
The company behind this robot, Refraction, markets their robots to deliver from restaurants, pharmacies and even grocery stores.
How Robots Can Help Kids Develop Social Skills
The following is an excerpt from The New Breed: What Our History With Animals Reveals About Our Future With Robots by Kate Darling.
Robots are unlike some of the other interventions we've used with kids previously. Static toys and screens have different characteristics. Robots like the Huggable can talk, move their bodies, and have animated facial expressions. Unlike a passive stuffed animal or a flat animation on an iPad, these robots interact in the physical world.

Robots - it's about the service, not the hardware
Robots that can rush in where people fear to tread are a major growth opportunity for innovators in robotics, AI, and autonomous systems - as explored in my previous report on nuclear decommissioning, space tech, offshore energy, deep mining, and UK developments in these fields.
But not every sector is a hazardous environment for human beings - at least, that was the case pre-Covid. The services sector and others that keep the customer clothed, fed, and supplied with goods also represent opportunities for robotics growth and innovation.
Robots and miles of conveyor belt: Inside Amazon’s Gaines Twp. center | WOODTV.com
For the first time Friday, News 8 got an inside look at the massive Amazon fulfillment center in on 68th Street in Gaines Township.
It’s unlike any warehouse you’ve probably ever seen. It’s got 22 miles of conveyor belt, around 3,000 employees, tons of robots and hundreds of trucks coming and going every day. There’s a lot going on.
Bacteria-sized robots take on microplastics and win by breaking them down -- ScienceDaily
Small pieces of plastic are everywhere, stretching from urban environments to pristine wilderness. Left to their own devices, it can take hundreds of years for them to degrade completely. Catalysts activated by sunlight could speed up the process, but getting these compounds to interact with microplastics is difficult.
While plastic products are omnipresent indoors, plastic waste and broken bits now litter the outdoors, too. The smallest of these -- microplastics less than 5 mm in size -- are hard to pick up and remove. In addition, they can adsorb heavy metals and pollutants, potentially harming humans or animals if accidentally consumed.
How robots, AI are transforming spinal deformity surgery: Q&A with Dr. Meagen Fernandez
Meagen Fernandez, DO, recently completed her 200th robotic-assisted pediatric spine surgery at Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger Musculoskeletal Institute.
Dr. Fernandez, section chief of pediatric orthopedics at Geisinger, spoke to Becker's about how robotics is enhancing spinal deformity surgery and the promise of artificial intelligence.
Question: How has your view of robotics developed after more than 200 cases with this technology?
