## Humanoid Robots Enter the Warehouse
- GXO Logistics signs multi-year deal with Agility Robotics to deploy Digit humanoid robots
- Digit robots are 5'9" tall, can lift 35 lbs, and assist with repetitive tasks like moving totes
- First commercial Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) deployment of humanoid robots
- Managed through Agility Arc cloud platform for easy integration
- RaaS model lowers barriers for companies to adopt advanced robotics
- Marks significant milestone for warehouse automation and human-robot collaboration
## Harvesting Water from Air
- New technology uses adsorbent fins to extract water from air more efficiently
- Can harvest water even in low humidity (10% relative humidity)
- Compact design with fins 2mm apart collects up to 1.3L water/day at 30% humidity
- 2-5x more efficient than similar devices
- Uses heat to release collected water
- Addresses water scarcity concerns, tapping into atmospheric water vapor
- Prototype tested successfully, research published in ACS Energy Letters
## 3D Printing Corneas
- Researchers developing 3D printed personalized corneas to treat blindness/disorders
- Key benefits: customization, reduced donor dependence, lower rejection risk
- Uses bioink from patient's stem cells or modified collagen fibers
- Showing promise in lab/animal testing, moving towards human trials
- Could help millions with corneal blindness
- Challenges remain in scaling production and further testing
- Multiple research groups working on the technology
- Seen as promising solution to cornea shortages for aging population
