…that positive perception could spread. North America, Europe, South Korea, and Japan might not be able to compete with China in terms of the size of their labor pools or centralized economic and technology policies. However, they can strategically develop and deploy both workforces and labor through initiatives such as the ARM Institute's RoboticsCareer.org and Amazon's Mechatronics and Robotics Apprenticeship program. The U.S. Alliance of Robotics Clusters has also set onshoring as a priority. Its members—MassRobotics, Silicon Valley Robotics, and the Pittsburgh Robotics Network—have all pursued their own workforce development initiatives. Reshoring and nearshoring After trade conflicts with China, the…

…in Sweden; Tokyo in Japan; and Pangyo in South Korea. Combined Powers to save developers, farmers time Apex.AI, Krone, and Lemken said their Combined Powers vehicle has already proven its performance in agriculture. “The integration during the transition from ROS to Apex.Grace and Apex.AI was very efficient, as Apex.Grace is compatible to ROS,” Becker told Robotics 24/7. “Overall, the unit offers a sustained solution to the increasing lack of skilled labor in agriculture. It frees farmers from working those long days in the field and makes them systems operators who monitor the autonomous process unit as it delivers a consistent…

As of December 2022, only three economies have successfully executed manned space missions, and the U.S. is still the only country to have sent people who walked on the moon. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unexpected reduction in the budgets allocated by many countries for space programs in 2021, but the reduction wasn’t very significant for any of them.

…assistant professor in the Graduate School of AI at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). “The core bottleneck in such problems is how to determine a high-level task plan such that there exists a low-level motion plan that realizes the high-level plan,” he wrote. “Typically, you have to oscillate between motion and task planning, which causes significant computational inefficiency. Zhutian's work tackles this by using learning to eliminate infeasible task plans, and is a step in a promising direction.” Yang wrote the paper with NVIDIA research scientist Caelan Garrett, SB ’15, MEng ’15, Ph.D. ’21; Tomás Lozano-Pérez and…
