Farming is finally ready for robots
All the sessions from Transform 2021 are available on-demand now. Watch now. As an investor in the ag-tech space for the last decade, I would argue that 2020 was a tipping point. The pandemic accelerated a shift that was already underway to deploy automation in the farming industry. Other venture […]
Evolution of Robots: GelSight Sensors Enable Human-Like Touch – PreScouter – Custom Intelligence from a Global Network of Experts
Popular science fiction books and movies have long toyed with the idea of human-like robots. Recent research at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has brought reality one step closer to such a possibility by improving the sensitivity and dexterity of grippers on robotic arms. The grippers of […]
