DoD has announced a new initiative, the National Security Innovation Capital (NSIC) that may be of interest to you. NSIC enables dual-use hardware startup companies to advance their product’s transition to market by addressing the shortfall of private investment from trusted sources.
We’ve heard the fear echoed time and again: Automation is going to take away our jobs. And time and again, we see the same outcome: There are just as many, if not more, jobs in our more automated world.
Hello and welcome to Daily Crunch for Friday, February 11, 2022! Today we’re talking big rockets, self-driving cars, tech stocks getting rekt, and more. It’s a fun, and good mix of news. […]
With air taxi companies pledging to start commercial operations in 2024, one key question remains unanswered: Are we on the verge of a stunning revolution in urban transportation, or are we witnessing, as aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia puts it, the “mother of all aerospace bubbles”?
Wavemaker Labs is re-launching Abundant Robots in the goal of bringing AI-enabled automation to America’s apple orchards.
Software developers are key to advancing automation and robotics to enhance manufacturing and business operations and improve productivity.
The Great Resignation led tech workers to realize their power. Salaries are increasing, demand for talent is high and if you’re an engineer at Stripe, there are probably at least three investors who would back your pre-seed company […]
Tech titans may have already accepted our doom, but as we create new technologies, it's not too late to start asking ourselves if there could be another way.
THE 'Mr Tech' who helped found lastminute.com is now cooking up a kitchen robot for ordinary homes, which he says 'will become a reality'...
Dayo McIntosh is the founder of Yateou.
“I think there are fewer fake robots this year.” I spoke to a lot of roboticists and robot-adjacent folks at this year’s CES, but that comment from Labrador Systems co-funder/CEO Mike Dooley summed up the situation nicely. The show is slowly, but steadily, starting to take robotics more seriously. It’s true that words like “fake” […]
Hadrian Automation, a startup developing automated manufacturing plants for the aerospace and defense industries in the Los Angeles area, has raised $36.4 million in new funding, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
A new study could be a game changer for users of prosthetic hands who have long awaited advances in dexterity. Researchers examined if people could precisely control the grip forces applied to two different objects grasped simultaneously with a dexterous artificial hand.
Research inspired by Terminator 2's shape-shifting, liquid metal robot sees liquid-metal electrical conductors manipulated in mid-air without contact. The liquid wires can be controlled to move in any direction, and manipulated into unique, levitated shapes such as loops and squares using a small 'triggering' voltage and a magnet.
Researchers have developed a new approach for shape changing at the material level. They use rubber, metal, and temperature to morph materials and fix them into place with no motors or pulleys.
The House passed the America COMPETES Act of 2022 today on a nearly party-line vote that foreshadows challenges the House and Senate may face in crafting a compromise bill capable of passing both chambers.
The White House announced a set of minor immigration policy changes last week aimed at better welcoming STEM students and scholars from abroad. Meanwhile, more substantive changes are currently up for debate in Congress, including the potential for exempting STEM graduates from numerical caps on green cards.
