Carnegie Mellon builds killer robot to save economy

September 5, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

A team from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute has developed an autonomous robot to find and kill dangerously spotted lanternflies before they’re even born. Spotted lanternflies are invasive insects known to destroy economically important crops. (See video below.)

TartanPest uses an all-electric tractor, a robotic arm and computer vision to traverse fields and forests while it detects and destroys spotted lanternfly egg masses.

The egg masses – which contain 30-50 eggs and are often found on trees, rocks, outdoor furniture and rusty metal surfaces – are laid in the fall and hatch in the spring, birthing a new generation of the pests each year. [Read more…] about Carnegie Mellon builds killer robot to save economy

June 14, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Cycling is one of the best ways to get around Chicago, especially during warmer days. It allows you to enjoy fantastic views while getting your workout.

From the Lakefront Trail to the 606 and the North Branch Trail, there are various trails for those who want to get out on their bikes. But even with the separate cycling lanes, accidents occasionally happen. Around 440 accidents were recorded in the city’s cycling lanes in 2020-2022.

Such accidents can leave people with various damages and substantial medical costs. It’s only fair that you seek compensation if the accident is someone else’s fault. A Chicago bicycle accident lawyer can help you assert your rights and seek restitution. [Read more…] about Understanding Bike Accident Laws: Your Rights and Legal Options

Future of Agriculture: What Does Automated Vertical Farming Look Like?

March 10, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Today, automation is revolutionizing productivity and bringing other benefits across almost all industries. Agriculture is also shifting from manual labor towards a highly automated model where almost no workers are required on site.

Challenges faced by conventional agriculture such as limited water resources and farmland have facilitated the development of high-tech greenhouses and indoor vertical farms.

They, in turn, spurred smart technologies for professional cultivation in controlled environments.

Automated indoor farming makes use of modern technologies such as sensors, big data, vertical farming robotics and AI-powered software to increase yield, reduce costs and minimize environmental impact. [Read more…] about Future of Agriculture: What Does Automated Vertical Farming Look Like?
