AI Programming, Greenhouse Automation, and Female Leadership
#103
Hey insiders,
This week, we’re exploring AI-powered robot programming, fresh funding in greenhouse automation, and a leadership shake-up at Rethink Robotics.
Agile Robots is taking robotics programming to the next level with a large language model (LLM)-powered assistant. The tool simplifies robot programming by enabling users to give commands in natural language instead of traditional code. This innovation could lower the barrier to entry for roboticists and improve collaboration between human operators and robots.
Four Growers has secured $9 million in funding to advance automation in greenhouse farming. Their focus? Revolutionizing harvesting—a task that remains largely manual despite advances in agricultural robotics. While promising, the question remains: can Four Growers create a robust system capable of tackling the complexities of fresh produce? With demand for sustainable farming growing, the pressure is on to deliver.
Rethink Robotics has announced a female-led executive team to spearhead the launch of their new collaborative robot (cobot) product line. This shift marks a significant milestone for diversity in robotics leadership. The new team is tasked with reinvigorating the Rethink brand and making their upcoming cobots a market success.
