Called Hadrian X, this massive brick-laying system consists of a 98-foot robotic arm mounted on a truck that is guided by motion sensors. How does it know where to lay the bricks? It comes loaded with a digital blueprint, and can auto-correct its position 1,000 times a second.
Toyota Research Institute (TRI) has just unveiled a robot that can not only solve complex tasks in home environments, but they can also take selfies. That’s right, TRI robot scientists were able to train them to understand and operate in complicated situations, including recognizing and responding to transparent as well as reflective surfaces in a variety of situations.
