![]() ![]() ![]() Once robotic arms are capable of handing more items than humans, they’re likely to join other robots like the two introduced this week inside Amazon fulfillment centers. Prior to taking the stage, Ambidextrous Robotics chief scientist Ken Goldberg talked about Dex-Net, an AI system trained to pick up and move items at a rate comparable to humans. To this end, Amazon holds an annual picking challenge for roboticists. Teaching robots to grab things like humans can give robots the ability to do things like clean your home, work in factories, or sort recyclable material, but it could also shape the future of Amazon and other ecommerce companies. “I think if you went back in time 30 or 40 years ago and asked roboticists and computer scientists, people working on machine learning at that time, which problem would be harder to solve - machine vision, natural language understanding, or grasping - I think most people would have predicted we would have solved grasping first, and of course it’s turned out to be an incredibly difficult problem.” ![]() “I think grasping is going to be a solved problem in the next 10 years, at least in a commercial way,” he said. In his talk, Bezos also said dexterous robots will be among key tech advances seen in the next 10 years, alongside machine learning and biotechnology. The Blue Origin reusable rocket made its first trip to space and back in 2015. And introduced last month, NASA received lunar space station conceptual plans from companies like Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin.īlue Origin is scheduled to complete its first manned space flight by the end of the year. Also rolled out in recent weeks: the first commercial partners to make deliveries to the moon. earlier that month, Bezos and Blue Origin debuted both the Blue Moon lunar lander that’s capable of carrying up to 6.5 tons of cargo to the moon and the BE-7 rocket engine. NASA rolled out Project Artemis, its plan to return to the surface of the moon by 2024 with commercial partners, in mid-May. ![]()
