Congratulations to Kinisi, the future of physical intelligence, for winning the Automate Start-up Challenge! A well deserved win. Here’s some more information about Kinisi’s KR1 robot c/o the BBC. Hat tip also to 3Laws Robotics, a CalTech spinout from Los Angeles with a dynamic universal safety layer. The ultrasonic sensor from Sonair looked very interesting too.

ICRA provided a LOT of interesting robotics content. I’m pleased to have helped get more than 80 industry, startup and ecosystem talks on to the exhibit hall stages, also creating a meeting place for all the RAS #notjust4academics conversations! https://t.co/6H5PjOumXc https://t.co/7pzrIjnhSX
