Grocery-carrying robots are coming – Finance & Commerce
BOSTON — The first cargo-carrying robot marketed directly to consumers is on sale this holiday season. But how many people are ready to ditch their second car to buy a two-wheeled rover that can follow them around like a dog?
Corporate giants like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to doorsteps. Now Piaggio, the Italian company that makes the Vespa scooter, is offering a stylish alternative to those blandly utilitarian machines — albeit one that weighs 50 pounds and costs $3,250.

Students, faculty, and staff at the University of Texas at Dallas can now get delivery of their meals on wheels—robot style.
New York-based Chartwells Higher Education, a contract food service management company, and Starship Technologies, an autonomous robot company founded by two Skype co-founders and led by a former Airbnb exec, is literally rolling out autonomous food delivery robots at the UT Dallas in Richardson.
Robot Fails: These 8 Robots Aren't Going to Destroy Humanity Just Yet
Thankfully, we still have time to make a change by putting laws in place that will prevent governments from developing these technologies unchecked.
Why, you might ask? Robots are a long way from being the Skynet monstrosities we see in the movies. Here are a few robot fails to prove our point.
Boston Dynamics creates some pretty incredible robots . Their Atlas and Spot robots can perform athletic maneuvers and climb tricky terrain. That doesn't mean they're impervious to a gaffe or two.

A robot and software make it easier to create advanced materials: Automated way to make unique
A Rutgers-led team of engineers has developed an automated way to produce polymers, making it much easier to create advanced materials aimed at improving human health.
While a human researcher may be able to make a few polymers a day, the new automated system -- featuring custom software and a liquid-handling robot -- can create up to 384 different polymers at once, a huge increase over current methods.
Synthetic polymers are widely used in advanced materials with special properties, and their continued development is crucial to new technologies, according to a study in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems . Such technologies include diagnostics, medical devices, electronics, sensors, robots and lighting.
