Crazy, I was just complaining about how much I hate folding laundry in the last post, and what should appear but a laundry-folding robot! I’m going to buy a lotto ticket. Or, more accurately, $80 in losing scratch-offs. This is a video demonstration of Isaac 1, a housekeeping robot developed

Recently a number of driverless Waymo Jaguar I-PACE taxis have been swarming an Atlanta suburb due to a misrouting issue. Then, when residents put up a ‘SLOW, CHILDREN PLAYING’ sign to prevent more from entering, all the Waymos panicked and created a traffic jam. Waymo claims they’ve seen fixed the

This is a video of Norm Nakamura of Youtuber channel Tokyo Lens riding and discussing Eno, a tiny standing taxi that can briskly roll up to three passengers to their destination. The lil autonomous taxi is powered by AI and features LiDAR sensors to monitor people, cars, and other obstacles

Because soon robots will be having all of our fun for us, this is a video of the Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) developed by researchers as at the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI, making this RAI’s UMV for those of you who love acronyming). It’s a little e-bike that can

Tech industry worker Mike Johns recently requested a Waymo self-driving taxi trip to the airport and was treated to a bunch of donuts in a parking lot instead before a Waymo employee could remotely get his taxi under control and headed in the right direction. Mike believes Waymo’s self-driving technology

Which is a relief, because I was worried robots might not be able to complete their tasks after exterminating us all. Some

This is a video from San Francisco of a Waymo self-driving taxi encountering an open fire hydrant and being unable to assess the situation. It doesn’t want to drive through the water, but it doesn’t want to enter the protected bike lane either. Apparently in a situation like this the

Built by inventor James Bruton, BinBot 9000 (apparently the 8000 model was total…garbage) is an autonomous trash receptacle that can come to you, that way you don’t miss trying to throw a banana peel in basketball style. The robot uses vision-assisted guidance and printed targets to identify its location and
