Argentinian researchers release new dataset for weed removing robot

Some milestones feel bigger than the moment itself. We’re proud to have backed Neuralzome Cybernetics in their $2.4M pre-seed round, a team building autonomous, off-road robots that are already making precision #agriculture and #fieldrobotics practical at scale. Neuralzome’s teachable, no-code AI and simulation-driven training cut time, cost and the specialist skills needed to deploy robots which means robotics can actually reach farms, orchards and other real-world sites that need it most. We’re humbled by the warm coverage the story has received across major outlets and grateful for the encouragement from the ecosystem. Thank you to the media, partners and everyone who amplified this moment. This is just the start. Together with Neuralzome, we’re excited to help translate autonomous #agrirobotics from prototype into everyday #impact for industries and livelihoods. Mohan Sivam Aditya Shriwastava

CNN is featuring the work of Associate Professor Kevin Chen and his team at MIT’s Soft and Micro Robotics Lab. Together with PhD student Yi-Hsuan “Nemo” Hsiao, they are developing a bee-like robot capable of 400 wing flaps per second, agile flight maneuvers, and potential applications in pollination where bees struggle to survive - like warehouse farms or extraterrestrial environments. 🎥 Video credit: CNN 🔗 Read more: https://cnn.it/4pq3ueW #MIT #Robotics #Innovation #Sustainability #BioInspiredEngineering

🤖 Swarm Robotics – Machines Working Together Like Ants and Bees In nature, ants, bees, and birds achieve incredible feats through simple individual actions coordinated across the group. Swarm robotics takes inspiration from these natural systems—using large groups of small, autonomous robots that collaborate to accomplish complex tasks collectively. Instead of relying on a central controller, these robots communicate locally, adapt in real-time, and self-organize to achieve shared goals. This approach is transforming industries like agriculture, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and even space exploration. By mimicking the intelligence of swarms, we’re discovering that sometimes, the smartest systems aren’t the ones that think alone—but the ones that think together. #SwarmRobotics #AI #Robotics #ArtificialIntelligence #Automation #MachineLearning #TechInnovation #CollectiveIntelligence #FutureOfAI #NextGenTech

🥒 Problem for cucumber-picking robots: as it turns out, cucumbers can't be tamed Cucumber leaves grow up the plant in a spiral 🌱 That is a problem for cucumber-picking robots, because the leaves get in the way. Might it be possible to modify the plants so that the leaves are neatly aligned along the stem? PhD candidate Merijn Kerstens now has the answer to that particular question. Read everything about his research in the latest edition of Resource - WUR university magazine 👇 #robotics #plantresearch #greenhouse #horticulture

Westlake Robotics’ GAE just demoed real-time, low-latency control with arbitrary actions across tasks and hardware. Big step for generalist robot skills and responsive manipulation.
