Nearly 30% of the energy consumed in the world is by the agriculture sector. However, with rising energy costs and increasing demand for sustainability, farms are being pushed to rethink the way they consume power.
The no-code platform from Matroid trains ordinary cameras to act like expert inspectors, turning simple footage into a pixel-level defect checklist. Even a handheld GoPro can spot issues human eyes miss—using remarkably small datasets.
The robo-couch they crafted sits on two wheels like those used on electric scooters that are connected to an electric motor, plus two other unmotorized wheels that simply work to share the couch's weight. A rechargeable battery supplies the power.
Learn more about the engineering considerations for integrating NTN capabilities into IoT devices, covering the trade-offs of remote reporting, fallback connectivity, and continuous satellite use.
New tool from MIT CSAIL creates realistic virtual kitchens and living rooms where simulated robots can interact with models of real-world objects, scaling up training data for robot foundation models.
In the world of automotive manufacturing, precision is not optional — it is mandatory. Every component, from wiring harnesses to interior panels to fasteners, must be installed correctly, in the correct sequence, at the correct tempo, every single time.
In the rapidly growing field of industrial robotics, reliable connectivity is essential for maintaining high signal integrity, especially in environments characterized by continuous motion and harsh conditions.
