…chief, as president; Zachary Omohundro, a robotics Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University, as chief technology officer; and Carlo Mondavi, from the Napa Valley Mondavi winery family, as chief farming officer. Founder Series MK-V features Using a Monarch MK-V instead of a comparable diesel tractor can reduce emissions equivalent to removing 14 passenger vehicles from the road, according to Monarch Tractor. Considering nearly 25% of global emissions result from agriculture, the new tractor could help reduce emissions at scale in an industry that has been historically difficult to decarbonize, it added. “With precision ag, autonomy, and AI, data will decrease the…

…some who get this,” she recalled. “Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University and Rich Voyles at Purdue University will be the first to admit that robots can't do certain things. But when coring through concrete walls or floors after a building collapse, each of them grabbed that dimension. They've developed things that can be done with a robotic elephant trunk or a tethered container that can shoot out arms to move. Both took away different morphologies from studying constraints around what we're trying to do.” Many tests of emergency response robots fail to replicate the unstructured environments they would face…

…fingerprints. In yet another 3D printing security-related research effort, Carnegie Mellon University has come up with the Connected 3D Printer Observer (C3PO), which identifies a printer’s security vulnerabilities as well as potential attack paths based on given vulnerabilities and network deployment. Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in partnership with Rutgers University, has developed a three-layer system that uses acoustic measurements, printer component tracking and detectable nanorods to protect the integrity of printed products. While there are many possibilities for securing 3D printing, the bottom line is there is no singular solution. Rather, it will take…
