Robotics
Both companies and researchers publish videos of robots doing various tasks but they often fail to point out the limitations of the technology or that those results were achieved in lab conditions. https://t.co/gDJUQFYvDi
OpenRobotic Dreams, Robotic Realities: Why Is It So Hard to Build Profitable Robot Companies?
Roboticists need to discuss openly and honestly not only our successes but also our failures
GITAI Partners With JAXA to Send Telepresence Robots to Space
The founder and CEO of SCHAFT joins space robotics startup GITAI to develop telepresence robots
RT @ryanmhickman: We let the NY Times into the Robotics at Google lab, and they wrote a thing. Nice to show off some of the work being done with bots from @FetchRobotics and @Universal_Robot among others. https://t.co/Yc2mptNtJ0
OpenInside Google’s Rebooted Robotics Program
In 2013, the company started an ambitious, flashy effort to create robots. Now, its goals are more modest, but the technology is subtly more advanced.
