In Fordâs future, two-legged robots and self-driving cars could team up on deliveries
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: robotics/AI, transportation
Autonomous vehicles might someday be able to navigate bustling city streets to deliver groceries, pizzas, and other packages without a human behind the wheel. But that doesnât solve what Ford Motor CTO Ken Washington describes as the last 50-foot problem.
Ford and startup Agility Robotics are partnering in a research project that will test how two-legged robots and self-driving vehicles can work together to solve that curb-to-door problem. Agilityâs Digit, a two-legged robot that has a lidar where its head should be, will be used in the project. The robot, which is capable of lifting 40 pounds, can ride along in a self-driving vehicle and be deployed when needed to delivery packages.
âWeâre looking at the opportunity of autonomous vehicles through the lens of the consumer and we know from some early experimentation that there are challenges with the last 50 feet,â Washington told TechCrunch in a recent interview. Finding a solution could be an important differentiator for Fordâs commercial robotaxi service, which it plans to launch in 2021.

Why lack of sleep is bad for your heart
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, health
A new University of Colorado Boulder study, published in the journal Experimental Physiology, helps explain why.
It found that people who sleep fewer than 7 hours per night have lower blood levels of three physiological regulators, or microRNAs, which influence gene expression and play a key role in maintaining vascular health.
The findings could potentially lead to new, non-invasive tests for sleep deprived patients concerned about their health, the authors said.
