The robot bartender Kris Abel describes gives you a reason to reconsider what automation does to a job. The customer sees a machine, but the opportunity it creates depends on a human connection you might not expect.
You want music on your walk, but your earbuds won’t stay put. Glasses could offer another way to listen, provided you’re comfortable with what else they do. Kris outlines an option aimed at camera concerns, while the virtual reality pitch brings its own questions about price and the games you already own.
Nobody looks forward to the seasonal tire queue. A pair of robots built for the service bay promises a quicker swap and less heavy work for mechanics. Before picturing one at your local garage, hear where the Canadian test starts and what it claims to deliver.
