…efficiency and productivity. An in-aisle navigation system helps the semi-autonomous trucks detect obstacles in their paths, minimizing damage. The operator remains in control and is able to override the system if necessary. Reaching the day when distribution center floors are full of autonomous lift trucks will require the convergence of several factors. Likewise, Seegrid has introduced a line of autonomous…

…device that can greatly improve navigation for blind people to walk. That's precisely what researchers and student assistants came up with at the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory. They developed an easy-to-fabricate smart cane for the blind. Researchers published their findings in October's Science Robotics. The assistive device is equipped with lidar similar to the technology used in some self-driving cars…
