Self-checkouts may take on a new meaning sometime in the future. Instead of having to scan the items yourself, a grocery packing robot may be able to do it for you.
It sounds like science fiction, and yet engineers at MIT have been working to develop a new soft robotics system that combines computer vision with a soft robotic gripper to help it bag up a wide range of items. The robot is aptly named RoboGrocery, and it was designed and engineered by MIT’s CSAIL department.
So far, the grocery packing robot seems to be able to pack a wide range of...
