For some reason, we humans seem to be hell bent on making robots that look like us. One thing is for sure though: we’ve been making humanoid robots for a long time, and they’re starting to get really good. This is Robots Everywhere — a show where we chronicle the slow but steady takeover of our future robot overlords, and show you how they’re making their way into practically every facet of modern life.
Restaurants replacing human employees with robots amid coronavirus
Tech and robotics are taking over the food industry to drive safety and sanitation during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tesla’s Tiny Robotics Business
Tesla is not just a car company. Long term, Elon Musk is likely to make Tesla an autonomous robotics logistics company with the advent of full self driving autonomous vehicle software and hardware. At the moment, all Tesla’s are large and heavy due to their enormous battery pack technology. However, what if Tesla did a 180 and started creating super small autonomous delivery drones by the late 2020s? If Tesla did this, perhaps they could unlock new revenue growth and net income profits to help their bottom line. Tesla could absolutely dedicate 1 or 2 gigafactories to this idea and exploit their new found autonomous computer hardware and software for the tiny robot revolution. If Tesla did this successfully, perhaps Tesla may be able to solidify itself as the worlds most valuable and profitable company on Earth and in the stock market with its clean energy technology stack…
Why The United States Is Turning To Recycling Robots
For decades, the United States and other wealthy countries have been dependent on China to buy and process almost half of the world’s plastic waste. Now, stricter recycling standards in China mean its cheaper for some US cities to simply send recyclables to the dump rather than pay a higher fee to process them. That’s why a number of researchers and tech companies are working on robots to make US recycling more efficient. *** Correction *** at 2:19 we describe the capacity of the Mobro 4000 as 3,000 pounds. The actual capacity is 3,000 tons.
Inside the Lab Where Robots Run Their Own Experiments
This is a laboratory run by robots with virtually no human intervention as part of an industry-wide push toward automation. The robot scientists can be found executing thousands of experiments, searching for life-saving drugs, and building synthetic organisms. In this Focal Point, we take a look inside Strateos, a robotic cloud lab that is fundamentally reimagining scientific discovery. We sit down with both Ben Miles, Head of Product at Strateos Cloud Lab, and Robert Murphy, Head of Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, to learn more about what automation could mean for the future of scientific research. Find out how these labs run by robots can transform how we develop new therapies, and even offer more reliable results, in this Focal Point.

Mark Cuban on Why We Need Robotics and A.I. to Bring Manufacturing Back to the United States
The best moments from The Pomp Podcast with Mark Cuban. In this video, Mark and Anthony examine how industries like healthcare and manufacturing will change based on the future tax implications of the COVID-19 response and how we can bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States by investing in robotics and artificial intelligence.
Meet Elena Fersman: Unleash the power of remote robotics
The nexus between humans and robots has entered a new era – with humans just as likely to learn from machines as the reverse, thanks to AI and machine learning. Discover why it’s paving the way towards zero-touch operations and a landscape in which the network will automatically adjust and react based on the needs of the robots.
