There is a critical mass of innovation and momentum in robotics right now. Global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are investing billions of dollars in development. Industry 4.0 is making cost-effective mass production feasible.
But how long will it be before smart, autonomous, mobile, humanoid robots capable of taking on multiple complex tasks hit the market? And when will the price point be reasonable?
$1M for open-source first-responder robots | University of Michigan News
An open-source perception and movement system, to be developed with NSF funding, could enable robots that partner with humans in fires and disaster areas.
Tomorrow’s wildfire fighters and other first responders may tag-team with robotic assistants that can hike through wilderness areas and disaster zones, thanks to a University of Michigan research project funded by a new $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
Agri robots for the fastest vegetables and the most fragile fruits: almost here?
2021 is already over halfway and the conquering of the market with horticultural robots has yet to begin. But, the year is not over yet and the plan remains unchanged, says Harrie Schonewille, director of VDL ETG Projects.
The CropTeq CDL 10 cuts an average of ten cucumber leaves per minute with one arm. A beta version of the robot is scheduled to enter the market in the fourth quarter. The current prototype has now reached the third and final test phase: the integral test.
Texas restaurant hires robots as servers amid staff shortage
One restaurant owner in Dallas, Texas, is getting creative amid the nationwide staff shortage. Taco Borga, who owns and operates the Latin American restaurant La Duni , hired three robots to help serve his hungry customers.
Borga, a 40-year veteran of the restaurant industry, told TODAY Food that he had to close several of his eateries during the pandemic. When it came to saving his last restaurant earlier this summer, he would've done just about anything.
Do Robots Dream Of Not Spilling Coffee?
When it comes to coffee, underneath everything that appears easy is a complicated array of sciences. Roasting isn't just cooking beans, it's moderating heat transfer, endothermic and exothermic reactions, airflow, time, etc, where slight variations can have large impacts on the result.
Even carrying a cup of coffee without spilling, while seemingly easy, is actually quite complicated, and teaching machines to do it as well as humans may actually be the next great leap in robotics.
