Robots have functioned for years on assembly lines, such as in automotive plants, where they perform the same task repetitively. This article explores how companies are coupling robotics with artificial intelligence in order to allow them to make the kinds of judgements needed in sorting recyclables. It isn’t the kind of high-profile task normally associated with machine learning, such as driving automobiles or finding cancerous growths in medical scans, but it could save recycling companies money.

Each year, flight enthusiasts from all over the globe descend on Oshkosh, Wis., for Air Venture, to see fighter jet fly-bys, world-class aerobatics, and outstanding fire works. But this past year, one of the highlights of the show’s Innovation Showcase was a GoFly Prize challenge set amidst a field of new technologies poised to transform the aeronautical industry. This article showcases a few of the innovative entries including an electric vertical take-off and landing drone and an octocopter.

The idea that innovation could come from anywhere is apparent in the 2019 Mechanical Engineering Magazine Emerging Technology Awards. The awards are in their third year now and celebrate technologies that have left the R&D phase, passed through the precommercialization “valley of death,” and have begun to make an impact on the marketplace.
