SORs leading robotics platform targets key opportunity in the multi-billion-dollar global agriculture s … – Stockhead
Posted: at 2:47 am
SOR has shown that its technology can provide the solution to a $US34.5bn agriculture problem in the US market.
Tech venture company Strategic Elements (ASX:SOR) has identified an exciting new market opportunity through its fully-owned subsidiary, Stealth Technologies.
The company flagged early test results this morning that showed Stealths market-leading automation and robotics platform (AxV) has the capability to deploy advanced weed detection technologies for use in the global agriculture sector.
The spread of weeds is still a significant issue for crop yields globally, where production losses are estimated at more than $3bn in Australia, while in the US the cost is estimated at more than $US30bn.
The use of expensive chemicals also remains prevalent, while existing weed detection technologies are limited in their capacity to distinguish weeds that are the same colour as crops.
That second point in particular is what makes the potential market opportunity for Stealths early-detection technology a lucrative one.
Working together with researchers at the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative and the University of Western Australia School of Agriculture and Environment, the Stealth team has proved out early validation for the use of its technology in early weed detection.
The group began by installing Stealths advanced detection technology onto a combine harvester, as part of a barley harvest at a broadacre farm test-site in WA.
By compiling data and running algorithm analyses, the group then ran tests of the Stealth platforms capacity for weed detection, referenced against the location of known weeds.
And early data showed the technology had a 100 per cent success rate for detecting weeds, with a height threshold of 20cm above the canopy.
Significantly, the technology was able to detect weeds from the barley crop notwithstanding the fact that both were brown in colour and barely distinguishable to the human eye, SOR said.
Currently available technologies using computer vision solutions would be unable to replicate these results.
It adds up to an exciting market opportunity for SOR, given the ongoing use of pesticides in the global agriculture sector to control weeds.
But along with being high-cost, existing weed systems also develop a resistance to herbicides over time.
It means the industry is in a position to react quickly to new weed detection technologies that form that basis of alternative agronomic techniques such as targeted spot-fertilising or increasing seed levels during crop season.
All these techniques require accurate knowledge of weed locations, that to date is lacking in farm management, SOR noted.
The technologies that Stealth and its collaboration partners are developing are designed to solve this problem in large-scale crop farming, whilst keeping the work-rate at the required levels.
With a new market opportunity identified, Stealth has filed a patent for its weed detection technology that includes the arrangement of sensors on the platform, and software used to analyse the data.
Looking ahead, the company provided a 2021 timeline where it plans to scale up to commercial testing in the second half of this year.
The group plans to deploy its weed detection technology for at least 10 potential end customer reference sites by November, SOR said.
Commenting on the announcement, Strategic Elements CEO Charles Murphy said it reflected Stealths capacity to build out a platform with use-cases across a number of different market verticals.
From an Australian domestic market context other sectors like logistics and mining also have attractive opportunities and we are very active in seeking the right partners with which to collaborate, Murphy said.

Muirlands-based robotics teams reflect on their years together as middle school winds down – La Jolla Light
Posted: March 21, 2021 at 4:45 pm
Its the last roundup for two La Jolla eighth-grade robotics teams that have students who have been together since elementary school and are trying to make the most of their last year before moving on to what in some cases will be different high schools.
The Muirlands Constructors and Team Architech, whose members are predominantly from Muirlands Middle School, are participating in the Southern California First Lego League robotics tournament, with the next round of competition April 10 and 17.
The online competition had its qualifying tournament the first two weekends in March. Teams design their own solutions to real-world engineering challenges while building autonomous Lego robots that perform a series of missions, according to FLL. This year, the teams also were tasked with finding a way to get the community active during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The five students on the Muirlands Constructors team Jackson Brown, Jacob and Ben Khamishon, Isla Archbold and Jordan Hochberg opted to build a Rally Ball table as their activity project. Jordan went to Muirlands for two of his three middle-school years and now goes to La Jolla Country Day School.

Jacob said the team members have known each other since second grade, and they started the team in third grade. Its cool to see how much we have grown in knowledge and how much weve accomplished over the years, he said. This year, we put everything we knew from previous years into the competition. We know how the judges would grade us based on previous experiences, so we built everything around that.
Rally Ball, inspired by a game called TeqBall, involves volleying a soccer ball over a divider on an arched tabled using the players knees, feet, sides, head or hands. It is designed to be accessible to players of all ages and abilities.
The team built the table over a few weeks in Jacksons garage and gave it a test run by moving it to the La Jolla Recreation Center grounds for people to use outdoors. The members made a video documenting the process, interviewing players and showing how it can be used.
The team cleared the qualifying round and now proceeds to the regional round.

Ben credited the teams success to the members chemistry and ability to work together. A big part of robotics is what is known as the core values, which are innovation, discovery, impact, inclusion, teamwork and fun, he said. Our first year, we didnt have the chemistry we needed. I think we got negative points once. But we learned to work together. Each of us has our own skills, and when we work together, we can accomplish something bigger.
All the members said their interest in robotics started in elementary school and continued in middle school. They said theyd like to continue robotics in high school.
Robotics was a big thing at our elementary school, so I wanted to try it, Isla said. Its really sparked my interest and I plan on doing robotics in high school and I think its a really fun thing. But I wouldnt have experienced if I hadnt just tried it out.

Jordan said he was in a little club in elementary school that met after school. Since then, its been a great journey because Ive learned so much about coding, building, problem solving, on and off the team. I believe I am going to continue to learn and grow, and the team has helped me with that.
For Jackson, being on the team has expanded a preexisting interest in robotics. Ive always loved building things, since I was very little, he said. Since being on this team, Ive had the opportunity to build robots but also learn programming. Before robotics, I hadnt had any experience programming. This team has sparked my interest in coding.
Learn more about the team by visiting youtube.com/watch?v=391k_NAR9l8.
For most members of Team Architech, the FLL competition which only goes through eighth grade is the end of a four-year road they started as fifth-graders. But theyre leaving on a high note: Muirlands eighth-graders Elena Grilli, Mira and Sarah Lehman, Nathaniel Muus, Kyle Palmer, Leo Souza, Emma Weibel and Grant Williams, and fifth-grader Kevin Palmer, who attends Torrey Pines Elementary School and joined the team late last spring, won first place in robot performance in the qualifying round.
The team built its robot and programmed it to perform several actions based on FLL missions. The question is, what didnt the robot do? Grant said.

Architechs project to improve community activity was a prototype for an app [in which] you can put in what type of skill you want to learn, Emma said. Then it gives you an exercise for it.
What we were centered around is motivation, she said. We found that we all had a different motivation. Everybodys different, but one thing that everybody does have in common is that they want to learn things to better themselves, like learning how to do a handstand. If people can learn through the app that we create, theyd be more motivated to try to exercise.
Mira said: The idea that were all really trying to solve for was utilitarianism. We wanted this app ... to be able to benefit a large portion of the population.
When we look at pictures of us when we were all four years younger than we are now, its really interesting to see that we were all learning and all growing as people but at the same time youre all still the same robotics team, Elena said. Wednesdays and Sundays every week we would all get together and build something great. Its nice to have that constant over the years.
One of the biggest things that I will take away from robotics, Emma said, is the critical thinking skills that I learned throughout it. Ive taken away so much knowledge around technology, which we are going to be seeing a lot more in the future.
Grant said all of us have taken away some very important skills, such as how to be working together better as a group, how to get better at an engineering mindset [and] coding. We learned to overcome our differences, because were all very different and we think differently.
Also, Sarah said, its just fun. Sometimes that element gets a little lost when you try to come up with all these answers, but it definitely was fun to build robots and to compete against other teams who also liked the same things you do.

Ford expands robotics research into $75 million University of Michigan facility – TechCrunch
Posted: at 4:45 pm
Ford Motor Company will be embedding 100 of its researchers and engineers in a new $75 million robotics and mobility facility on the University of Michigans Ann Arbor campus.
This is not the first collaboration between the automaker and the university. Ford is UMs single largest corporate donor and the two entities have previously teamed up to open the UM Ford Center for Autonomous Vehicles. But this is the first time Ford is co-locating part of its team on a university campus.
Ford clarified to TechCrunch that the arrangement is not an incubator, but an extension of our global research and advanced engineering network.
The arrangement will give Ford space to conduct robotics research and access to students and vice versa from the top floor of the four-floor, 134,000 square-foot building. In addition to its fourth-floor lab, Ford will have access to a high-bay garage space to test autonomous vehicles.
Nearby, Ford will be able to drive its cars at the Mcity Test Facility, a simulated Main Street for testing vehicles in real-world environments. Ford was the first automaker to test an autonomous vehicle at Mcity in 2015.
The automakers research areas will not be limited to autonomous driving tech.
The whole field of robotics has applications beyond the vehicle, thats very clear to us, Ford CTO Ken Washington said Tuesday. We made the decision quite some time ago that we wanted to create a capability in robotics to apply to our vehicles, but also to have a broader potential application base, including manufacturing, including rethinking how were showing up in the market with our commercial vehicles, and possibly other solutions, like aerial robotics.
In January of 2020, Agility Robotics first order came from Ford, for the Digit a humanoid robot equipped with sensors to work in human spaces. Ford will be experimenting with the Digit in the new building as well as Boston Dynamics infamous Spot, the four-legged robot that can navigate unpredictable terrain. Ford will be conducting experiments with both these robot models at the new UM facility.
Fords general robotics and engineering research will be led by Mario Santillo, and Tony Lockwood, Fords technical manager in AV Research, will lead on the AV side.
Ford and UM, as part of the arrangement, will be developing an inclusive curriculum to open more opportunities for underserved students, according to a statement. Alec Gallimore, the dean of Engineering at UM, said the new Robotics Institute aims to push the field to be more equity centered. To that end, students from historically Black schools in Atlanta, Georgia will be able to enroll remotely in a Robotics 101 course, which doesnt require calculus, to level the playing field for students from high schools that did not offer advanced courses.
This story has been updated to clarify that Ford will have access to one high-bay garage space, not four, as well as its fourth floor lab.
Early Stage is the premier how-to event for startup entrepreneurs and investors. Youll hear firsthand how some of the most successful founders and VCs build their businesses, raise money and manage their portfolios.

Robots in the Operating Room: Newer technique uses robotics to improve precision in hernia repair – STLtoday.com
Posted: at 4:45 pm
SLUCare general surgeon,Dr. Scott Wong, assessing a patient.Photo provided by SLUCare Physician Group
Joe H. had dealt with a hernia for nearly three decades. He first had it repaired back in the 90s, and though the recovery was tough, the repair lasted for many years. A second surgery was just as difficult, but the repair didnt last nearly as long.
I was hobbling along for a good week or so [after surgery,] he said. Until youre cut in that area, in the lower groin, you dont realize how much you use those muscles. Getting up out of a chair, getting up out of bed, walking, its harder. Recovery is a long, drawn-out process.
The third time around, Joe says, recovery was much easier. Thats because his surgeon performed the surgery laparoscopically, leaving only three small incisions rather than one large one. And his surgeon, SLUCare's Dr. Scott Wong, used robotic tools to achieve it.
Im much happier, Joe said. My recovery was just a few days. I feel like Ill be a lot better off long term.
Just like a human wrist
Robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery is a newer technique that allows surgeons to see their work more clearly and manipulate surgical instruments in more complex surgeries, all while sitting comfortably at a console in the operating room.
It allows us better visualization because the picture is magnified in 3D and you can be much more precise in your dissection, which can lead to less blood loss and less tissue damage, said Dr. Wong, a general surgeon who sees patients at University Tower at 1034 S. Brentwood Boulevard and practices at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital.

Conductive hydrogel could find use in soft robotics and more – New Atlas
Posted: at 4:45 pm
Ordinarily, if you want to build a device that's highly electrically conductive, you have to use rigid metals. Now, however, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft and flexible material that fits the bill.
Led by Prof. Carmel Majidi, the researchers started by suspending micrometer-sized flakes of silver within a polyacrylamide-alginate hydrogel.
When that material was subsequently partially dehydrated, the silver flakes linked with one another to form networks running throughout the hydrogel matrix. Not only were those networks very electrically conductive, but they were also able to withstand mechanical deformations in other words, they remained conductive upon being stretched, compressed or bent.
Although other groups have previously tried developing conductive hydrogels, they typically had to choose between conductivity and deformability. The Carnegie Mellon hydrogel is claimed to be unique, in that it excels in both qualities.
It has already been used to create skin-mounted electrodes that stimulate the underlying muscles. Such devices could ultimately be of use to people with neuromuscular disorders. The gel has also been utilized to build a swimming soft-bodied robotic stingray and the possibilities don't stop there.
"With its high electrical conductivity and high compliance or 'squishiness,' this new composite can have many applications in bioelectronics and beyond," says Majidi. "Examples include a sticker for the brain that has sensors for signal processing, a wearable energy generation device to power electronics, and stretchable displays."
A paper on the research was recently published in the journal Nature Electronics.

Is robotics taking over hospitality? Yes and no – PhocusWire
Posted: at 4:45 pm
Are robots taking jobs and completely flipping the hospitality industry? Imagine walking into the lobby and being greeted by a team of robots to check in, scan your ID and face to verify identity, take your bags and escort you to your room.
While the pandemic may have emphasized distancing and limited touch points, the art of hospitality would be completely lost without the human element performing tasks that go beyond the programmed capabilities of artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis.
Finding the correct balance will be a major focus of the industry as we determine how long and to what extent COVID will continue to impact travel and hotel stays into the future. Robots and automated technology support the current evolution of the industry, but only when they allow staff to focus on delivering exceptional guest services.
Lets look at the pros and cons of robots and automated tech.
Robots are becoming a familiar part of a travelers journey. According to CNBC, robots are offering contactless options to guests in airports around the world, including LaGuardia Airport in the United States, Munich International Airport in Germany and Incheon International Airport in Seoul, and by 2030, robots are expected to take over the airport check-in process.
Its only natural that guests would expect a similar experience as they enter hotels, and this technology has some major benefits:
Although more robots, chatbots and voice assistants are popping up throughout the travel industry, wouldnt it feel strange to arrive in a hotel completely staffed by robots? One hotel in Japan tried and realized that though robots and customer service AI were great for entry-level tasks, the technology was incapable of handling end-to-end operations.

So these technologies certainly come with their drawbacks:
Guest preferences will differ: some guests would be content to only talk to robots or interact with the hotel via their personal devices, while others might be more comfortable asking questions to or being assisted by staff. According to a recent survey, 52% of U.K. business travelers believe that automated technology would make their trips safer.
Remember, robotic tech isnt unfamiliar territory for guests.
Chris Connar
Allowing the guest to be in control of their experience will be a necessity as we all work to figure out how to bounce back after a year of restricted travel. Remember, robotic tech isnt unfamiliar territory for guests - they likely bumped into a robot or two at the airport or use voice assistants in their homes.
After considering guest preferences and both the pros and cons, whats the right answer? Are robots the way to go, or is the initial cost and upkeep too much?
I believe that successful hotels will look to a hybrid approach now and in the future. Start in the area that will have the greatest impact: staff overwhelmed by extra cleaning duties? Consider robot vacuums. Are they overwhelmed by guest requests? In-room voice assistants might be the way to go.
Robots and staff must work in tandem to offer guests the experiences they are looking for. When hotels implement robotic and automated technology that can help to personalize the guest experience, collect data to improve loyalty and manage day-to-day tasks to boost efficiency, they will reap the rewards.
