If you currently manufacture industrial vehicles, such as forklifts or tow tractors, vehicle automation could open a new revenue stream. But it’s a big project, and getting it wrong could prove to be an expensive exercise.

In the vast, expansive skies where birds once ruled supreme, a new crop of aviators is taking flight. These pioneers of the air are not living creatures, but rather a product of deliberate innovation: drones. But these aren't your typical flying bots, humming around like mechanical bees. Rather, they're avian-inspired marvels that soar through the sky, guided by liquid neural networks to navigate ever-changing and unseen environments with precision and ease.
For the past three years, Terry Aberhart has watched the spindly, fixed-wing drones zip across the big skies over his farm in Canada's Saskatchewan province, testing a technology that could be the future of weeding.
A robot with the shape of a seed and the ability to explore the soil based on humidity changes has been developed. It is made of biodegradable materials and able to move within the surrounding environment without requiring batteries or other external sources of energy.

Robotics simulation can be defined as a digital tool used to engineer robotics-based automated production systems. Essentially, robot simulation employs a digital representation to enable dynamic interaction with robot models and machines in a virtual environment.
Their task is to monitor the condition of ecosystems, for instance in the forest floor—and crumble to dust when their work is done: bio-gliders modeled on the Java cucumber, which sails its seeds dozens of meters through the air. Empa researchers have developed these sustainable flying sensors from potato starch and wood waste.
