XRobotics thinks it has cracked the code on getting pizza restaurants to adopt robotics.

The machines, which lease for $1,300 a month for three years, can make up to 100 pizzas an hour and be retrofitted to work with pies of different sizes and styles, like Detroit and Chicago deep dish. “This saves like almost 70, sometimes 80% of the time for the staff,” Denis…

An autonomous drone carrying water to help extinguish a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada might encounter swirling Santa Ana winds that threaten to push it off course. Rapidly adapting to these unknown disturbances inflight presents an enormous challenge for the drone’s flight control system.To help such a drone stay on target, MIT researchers developed a new, machine learning-based adaptive control algorithm that could minimize its deviation from its intended trajectory in the face of unpredictable forces like gusty winds.Unlike standard approaches, the new technique does not require the person programming the autonomous drone to know anything in advance about the structure of…
