…mph, the all-electric M.52 is outfitted with a 52-in. tri-blade rear-discharge, 20X12 tires, and flat-free casters. Scythe Robotics largely relies on computer vision technology for M.52, said Morrison. The mower has 3D mapping, onboard semantic segmentation, onboard visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and terrain-aware motion planning. It also has 8 HDR cameras and a host of sensors. It’s designed for large landscape commercial contractors who make anywhere from $1 million to $100s of millions in annual revenue. The company isn’t selling the mower as a standalone. Instead, it charges by acreage mowed. Scythe has been testing the M.52 in…

…space. R&D displayed at MassRobotics event Toyota Research Institute (TRI) demonstrated its Punyo bubble gripper, which includes hydraulics and vision-based internal sensors to detect the right pressure for handling fragile objects. For example, it could be used for household tasks such as loading and unloading a dishwasher. TRI has only 250 to 300 employees nationwide, and its lab in Cambridge, Mass., focuses on manipulation, said research scientist Joseph Masterjohn. With MIT, the institute has developed the Drake model-based design for contact simulation of robot manipulation. Speaking of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT…
