The latest boom in robotics represents a revolution in the way machines have learned to interact with the world.

After a historic first, communications and navigation still obstruct the future for roboticized ground assault.

The company, which deploys AI-guided robot arms for food production, says it is looking to expand its services to provide for a broader array of customers.

The naysayers don't like the threat to jobs and consider the robots a sidewalk nuisance, while others don't want to stop technological progress and say the robots actually are safer than alternatives.

While real dogs still have a major leg up over robots, the machines are catching up. Popular Science previously highlighted a company called Glide that sells a vacuum cleaner shaped mobility aid that uses AI and passive kinetic guidance to help people with impaired vision navigate.
