When we think of grasping robots, we think of manipulators of some sort on the ends of arms of some sort. Because of course we do—that’s how (most of us) are built, and that’s the mindset with which we have consequently optimized the world around us. But one of the great things about robots is that they don’t have to be constrained by our constraints, and at ICRA@40 in Rotterdam this week, we saw a novel new Thing : a robotic hand that can detach from its arm and then crawl around to grasp objec

A recent study from Canadian telematics company Geotab has suggested that the “vast majority” of EV batteries will likely outlast the life of electric cars. The firm’s findings stand in contrast to the persistent anti-EV argument that electric vehicle batteries will only last a few years before they have to be discarded. The firm published its estimates as an update to a 2019 analysis about EV battery degradation.
