…the world.” Plus One has offices in Boulder, Colo.; Pittsburgh; and the Netherlands. Sensors, grippers, and software automate picking Plus One Robotics' platform includes its Pick One parcel-induction system and “Human-in-the-Loop” (HITL) remote supervisor software. PickOne employs 3D sensors and AI vision software with patent-pending grippers to optimize the high-volume picking and placing of mixed parcels, bags, and products. HITL allows remote staffers to supervise multiple robots from any location, guiding the robot in how to handle exceptions. The AI system learns from this intervention to further improve its capabilities if similar situations occur in the future, helping to minimize…

…run all of Uber’s self-driving efforts, which began in Pittsburgh in 2014 after Uber poached dozens of researchers and engineers from Carnegie Mellon University. It was reportedly Levandowski’s decision to rapidly expand those efforts into San Francisco at the end of 2016. In other news, Uber quietly dropped the name for its driverless truck unit, “Otto.” The change was made last month in the wake of a trademark infringement dispute with a similarly named Canadian company that markets its own robotic vehicle technology. Uber consolidated Otto’s activities under its Advanced Technologies Group, or Uber ATG, in April and “retired the…
