Listen to this article Above: Autonomous construction robot brings the accuracy of robotics to highly complex utility construction sites; The Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System is a 2021 RBR50 Award Winner By Ali Asmari, Director of Project Management, ULC Technologies In recent years, the market for field-deployed robotics has seen significant growth, mainly due to the advances in sensor technology, processing capabilities, and hardware efficiency. These technological advancements make it increasingly feasible and meaningful to develop robotic solutions for automating repetitive day-to-day tasks

Siemens and Sony Corp. are partnering to introduce a solution that combines the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software with Sony's new XR head-mounted display (HMD), SRH-S1designed using Siemens' NX software, a core solution used across Sony to design its products.

Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) announced plans to invest more than $40 million in a new electric vehicle engineering facility at its Swan Island headquarters in Portland. Daimler says its new, 110,000-square-foot engineering facility will bring together multiple research projects in one place, including battery electric and hydrogen-fuel cell electric vehicles. The investment is expected to add about 150 new, high-wage jobs to the area

Structure and surface states A series of Mn-substituted cobalt oxides (MnCoOx-z with varied Mn/Co ratios (z) of 02.0) were successfully prepared by chemical reduction method. The obtained MnCoOx catalysts present as hierarchical nanospheres with an average diameter of 250-500nm, which is mainly composed by ultrathin nanosheets with the surface covered by thin layers (Fig.1a, b; Supplementary Fig.1). A schematic illustration is presented to show the formed grain boundary layers as a function of Mn/Co ratio (Fig.1c).
