…With the rapid development of AI, quadruped robots will gain more powerful learning, sensing/perception, decision-making and planning abilities, according to DEEP Robotics. At the World Robot Conference, DEEP Robotics showcased the autonomous “dodging” skills of the X30, its flagship large-sized quadruped, for the first time. The robot can recognize/detect suddenly approaching humans and obstacles, autonomously avoiding/navigating them to prevent collisions. This makes interactions between the robot dog and humans safer, minimizes accidents during long-term operations, and improves the quality of long-term maintenance work. Fostering the robot-human interaction and reducing the need for manual control has always been important in robotic…

…Robotics 24/7, at Heartland Ventures, we see major technological gains coming regardless of the near-term economic outlook. In recent history, construction advancements tend to come in the form of collaboration, project management, and financial management. That’s all well and good, but if you talk to any contractor right now, the core challenge they’ll identify is the lack of people. As construction companies look to provide value to their stakeholders, this issue is now more pressing than the difficulties associated with design, planning, and management functions. This is not about replacing human workers. It’s about helping the existing pool of skilled…

…improve the design of made-to-measure products. The automotive industry gains from personalized dashboards, light covers and car seats. Aside from delivering customizability, additive manufacturing facilitates weight reduction and increased vehicle safety. Other advantages of 3D printing include spare parts on demand, low volume production, and a more efficient production process, the companies note. The healthcare industry should also benefit from a digital transformation, i.e. performance-enhanced medical solutions provided by precise, made-to-measure applications based on detailed scans of the human body. And, 3D printed and made-to-measure mid insoles will enable major advances in customizable footwear. “Our partnership with Twikit allows us…
