Vayu Robotics has today unveiled its first delivery robot. The One can follow staff around stores to load up customer orders, before autonomously navigating city streets at speeds up to 20 mph to deliver the goods. Commercial deployment has begun.Conti… Continue reading New delivery robot loads up in the supermarket aisle, then rolls to you
Radically faster, cheaper 3D machine vision uses just a single pixel
Self-driving cars are dependent on sophisticated sensors backed by lots of computing power. A research effort led by China’s Tsinghua University is cutting down on computing requirements with a tracking system that only requires a single pixel to do th… Continue reading Radically faster, cheaper 3D machine vision uses just a single pixel
Despite the headlines, Waymo says its driverless cars are 200% safer than you
Three weeks after one of Waymo’s autonomous vehicles drove itself into a telephone pole for no apparent reason whatsoever (prompting 672 cars recalled), Waymo has released a statement saying its AVs are still 200 to 350% better at avoiding crashes than… Continue reading Despite the headlines, Waymo says its driverless cars are 200% safer than you
