Bankruptcy Lawyer: Your Guide to Overcome Financial Difficulties
What is Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy filing is the legal process in which outstanding financial liabilities of an individual or an organization are discharged through debt relief.
This debt relief acts as a financial cushion for debtors who have failed to repay their debts. Filing for bankruptcy is a common phenomenon, contrary to a common misconception associated with it.
According to statistics, 149,077 people filed for bankruptcy in 2022 in the USA. Widespread misconceptions about declaring bankruptcy have made it an undesirable option. [Read more…] about Bankruptcy Lawyer: Your Guide to Overcome Financial Difficulties
Clevon celebrates delivery of ‘nearly 1,500 DHL Express packages’
Clevon, an autonomous delivery innovator, says it has delivered almost 1,500 packages for DHL Express Estonia. The two companies began their partnership in the summer of 2022 and are moving towards expanding their collaboration.
The pilot project has gradually grown into an everyday service, and now Clevon’s Autonomous Robot Carrier (ARC) is a part of DHL Express Estonia’s vehicle fleet.
In the project’s first stage, the carrier transported DHL Express internal packages between three offices in the Capital of Estonia, Tallinn. Soon after, they moved on to serving business customers, and this year, private customers were also added. [Read more…] about Clevon celebrates delivery of ‘nearly 1,500 DHL Express packages’
Worcester Polytechnic invents robot lizard to ‘sneak into small spaces’
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers have partnered with the City of Worcester to develop a lizard-like soft robot that can creep into walls, ductwork, and pipes to perform inspections and three-dimensional mapping tasks that could be dangerous or impossible for humans.
Funded by a $50,000 National Science Foundation grant, the team – Cagdas Onal, Paul Mathisen, Yunus Telliel, and Berk Calli – collaborated with students and city officials to design the slender and deformable robot, which can get into tight spaces much less invasively than current methods allow.
The team built the prototype robot – an “origami” design made of plastic, 3D-printed, and laser-machined parts, custom circuit boards, a miniature computer, sensors, a few metal parts and motors – and tested it in locations across the city that included City Hall and the Worcester Senior Center.

Vertical farm robot startup Seasony secures innovation grant
Seasony, a developer of mobile robotics for vertical farming, has been awarded a grant from the Danish Innovation Foundation.
Launching in Fall 2023, this project aims to create image recognition algorithms that alert vertical farm growers to potential issues in two separate tracks.
The first track focuses on identifying poor seed germination to conserve water, energy, and nutrients from producing faulty crop. [Read more…] about Vertical farm robot startup Seasony secures innovation grant
Robotics Plus launches autonomous vehicle for orchard and vineyard production
New Zealand-based agritech company Robotics Plus has launched Prospr, an autonomous, multi-use, hybrid vehicle designed to carry out a variety of orchard and vineyard crop tasks more efficiently and sustainably while reducing reliance on labor.
Prospr is now commercially available from Robotics Plus, a specialist in the design and build of innovative agricultural robotics.
Prospr accommodates multiple swappable tools being developed, including newly released tower sprayers for grapes, apples, or tree crops. The right tool for the job is attached to the vehicle depending on the day’s work, and multiple Prosprs can collaborate in a fleet to get the job done.
