In Episode 58 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman recap the Autonomous Mobile Robots and Logistics Conference that recently took place in Memphis. They also speak with Stephanie Cannon of Pitney Bowes, which is deploying robotics systems from Ambi Robotics throughout the U.S to support its e-commerce network.
Crowe and Oitzman also discuss recent robotics news, including Waymo’s self-driving cars repeatedly hitting a dead-end in San Francisco, and the outrage sparked by Ghost Robotics’ Vision-60 quadruped that was fitted with a Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle (SPUR) from Sword Defense that features a 6.5mm sniper rifle with an effective range of 1,200 meters.
