In the Netherlands, cycling meets art & sustainability in a remarkable way. A glow-in-the-dark bike path inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting Starry Night lights up the town of Nuenen, where the artist once lived. The bike path uses thousands of photoluminescent stones that absorb sunlight during the day & emit a gentle glow at night, creating a swirling pattern reminiscent of Van Gogh's iconic masterpiece.
🤖👕 #Robotics expert Chris Paxton from Agility Robotics explains why multiple companies are developing #clothes-folding #robots, highlighting advances in imitation learning that require thousands of human demonstrations to train #AI models.
The tasks work well because clothes-folding is forgiving of imperfection, easily resettable when errors occur, and doesn't require precise force control like more complex manufacturing tasks.
