Robot assistants and a marijuana incubator
Manage episode 198224178 series 1845066
We’ve had plenty of time to get used to our robot overlords and Boston Dynamics is helping us get there. This week we talk about the company’s addition of a door-opening arm to its SpotMini robot. It’s not spooky at all.
We then switch gears and discuss Facebook’s Messenger for Kids. Is it good, bad or the company’s master plan to get every last human being with a smartphone on the platform.
- Your hosts: Megan Rose Dickey and Henry Pickavet
- Producer: Christopher Gates
- Executive producer: Yashad Kulkarni
