    In manufacturing, products undergo a progression from concept to realization—and cannabis production is no exception. The process starts with the cultivation of plants from seeds or clones, evolving through key stages such as drying, trimming and curing. The conclusion culminates in the packaging and delivery of retail-ready products. Nestled somewhere in the middle of this value chain is Sorting Robotics, whose technology specializes in automating the complex process of pre-roll production.

    The world’s first humanoid half-marathon in Beijing this past April was decidedly a test of Murphy’s Law: a spectacle riddled with countless ways that hardware can break down. To participate in the showdown, humanoids had to run on two legs and participating companies and universities were permitted to pull their robots in for battery swaps at pitstops, reported Smithsonian magazine.
