In this episode, Henny Admoni, A. Nico Habermann Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute shares her insights on social robots, which made it onto the 2019 list of Top 10 Emerging Technologies.
This Robot Delivers Pizzas on Campus
The robots are created by Starship Technologies. They’re fully autonomous and electric. Over the course of a day, each one fulfils 10 orders reducing emissions from car deliveries.
This start-up uses AI and robotics to tackle urban water pollution
This robot uses AI to zap weeds without harming crops
It’s called Concentrated Light Autonomous Weeding and Scouting or CLAWS for short. CLAWS uses AI-powered image processing to identify the crops, then targets weeds around the crop with blasts of concentrated light. This gets rid of unwanted intruders without damaging either crops or soil.
