Designing better products with AI and sustainability

technologyreview.com Mit Technology Review Insights 2025-10-30 13:13:28

On a mission to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing components, Siemens turned its attention to the design of a robot gripper. Making up just 2% of the robot, the impact of this hand-like device may seem inconsequential. But, reducing its weight by 90% and the number of constituent parts by 84% can save up to 3 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per robot per year. Consider the impact of equivalent savings across every gripper on the more than 4 million industrial robots worldwide—tha

Video Shows Tesla Robotaxi Safety Driver Giving Up, Climbing Into Driver's Seat

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-31 01:05:57

Launched just two months ago in Austin, Tesla's Robotaxi service has been plagued with errors and safety issues — many of which have been caught on camera by passengers — from the very start. From freaking out at the sight of a child and getting stuck in infinite loops to reckless wheel-jerking and ominous calls advising passengers to exit the vehicle immediately, it would seem that "failure" is not a strong enough word to describe how poorly Tesla's not-so-driverless taxis are doing.
