I added a post to my blog: ​The Forebot and the Buttlebot​ mtmason.com/forebot-and-bu… Here's the question. What happens when you deploy robots in a warehouse, or in a home? What instructions do you give them? It is only a four-minute read. Hope you like it.

I added a post to my blog: Robo Genesis mtmason.com/robo-genesis/ Here’s the idea. I was trying to think about robot design, from an evolutionary perspective, and it occurred to me I could make up a character, Evolution Personified, EP for short, and have a conversation between

Time for another blog post -- "The Inner Robot" -- on how our subconscious processes mislead us on the nature of human manipulation, by managing it brilliantly and quietly. Hope you find it rewarding. It is a seven-minute read. mtmason.com/the-inner-robo…

Time for blog post number eight -- "Vacuum grippers versus robot hands." Here's the question: when humanoids can do everything a human can, will they take over the warehouse? No! Vacuum is awesome! Vacuum grippers are the wheels of manipulation! It is only an five-minute
