This robot adjusts the length of its legs when stepping from grass to concrete

This is the first quadruped robot that is able to automatically adapt its morphology to different conditions in unstructured outdoor environments.

The progress we have seen in artificial intelligence (AI) over the last decade has been impressive, but it is not sustainable, neither in an environmental, social or economical sense. It is still possible to adjust the path, because recent research towards more human inspired AI indicates that AI can become both more sustainable as well as more efficient. However, more human-like AI also brings ethical challenges that society must address, today. 

Digitizing Norwegian food production

Robots that pick the finest berries, and sensors that find the best and healthiest ingredients. New technology will give us better food to a lower cost.
