This is the moment that the concept of electronic paper, or e-paper, went mainstream. But this black-and-white, reflective display that always appeared to be on was invented well before the Amazon Kindle made it famous.

Robots, like humans, generally use two different sensory modalities when interacting with the world. There’s exteroceptive perception (or exteroception), which comes from external sensing systems like lidar, cameras, and eyeballs. And then there’s proprioceptive perception (or proprioception), which is internal sensing, involving things like touch, and force sensing.

Moving freight by rail hasn’t changed a whole heck of a lot over the last several decades. And there are good reasons for this: trains can move freight four times more efficiently than trucks can, and they can move a huge amount of it at once with minimal human supervision. The disadvantage of trains is that they’re best at long distance hub-to-hub freight transfers, and usually, you still need to put your cargo on a truck to get it to its final destination.

The Tesla Model X Plaid may not usually receive as much attention as its sibling, the Model S Plaid, but the six-seat all-electric SUV is nothing to scoff at. With 1,020 horsepower and three electric motors, Tesla claims that the vehicle could go from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. That’s enough to give some supercars a run for their money. If a recent real-world test is any indication, however, it appears that Tesla actually understated some of the Model X Plaid’s capabilities.
