A no-kill leather startup just raised $53 million

Cattle_web_1024

Brooklyn-based startup Modern Meadow, founded in 2011, has secured a total of US$53.5 million in funding to grow leather in labs – instead of from livestock.

The cruelty-free business model could end the slaughter of animals for leather goods, but it also has another benefit – cutting down on the physically and chemically intensive processes needed to produce leather using traditional means.

This robot can see dying plants before farmers can

By the time a farmer knows their crops are dying, it’s often too late. Caterpillars or viruses have preyed on their tomato and spinach plants. And the crops are gone.

A new robotic system, called Prospera, aims to save these plants. Using a network of cameras and sensors, it immediately detects invaders and knows when crops are sick. It then alerts and tells farmers exactly why through an app.

Robotic dinner plate with a human-like arm is revolutionizing lives

Golf, offshore powerboat racing, sky diving: David Hare had led an active lifestyle. Then, in February 2011, he was diagnosed with ALS, a neurological disease that leads to rapid progressive degeneration of nerve cells, the loss of the ability to control muscle movement, and eventually death. The 56-year-old Michigan resident, who was told by doctors that he had less than five years to live, found a new lease of life last year with Obi, a robot that helps the differently abled feed themselves.

Robots, drones and cows that milk themselves

These cows are in no hurry and meander to the dairy. They stop as they please along the way. Chew cud. Moo. Drop pats. Moo again. They nudge the soft earth or a companion before snorting and continuing on up through the paddocks to the shed.

Double Robotics turns its robot into a VR rig

double-robotics-360-camera-dolly-ed

There’s one big problem with trying to capture virtual reality video while moving – humans. Even if you have stabilizing gear, the person carrying the camera will still limit what and how you shoot. Double Robotics has an answer to that: its newly-launched 360 Camera Dolly robot transforms the company’s telepresence bot into a remotely controlled, silent VR camera rig. If you want to record a cinematic tracking shot or college campus tour, you don’t need any people or noisy equipment on the scene.
