Flying robots can do warehouse inventory way faster than humans Warehouses offer all kinds of opportunities for robots. Semi-structured controlled environments, lots of repetitive tasks, and humans that would almost universally rather be somewhere else. Robots have been doing great at taking over jobs that involve moving stuff from one place to another, but there are all kinds of other things that have to happen to keep warehouses operating efficiently. Corvus Robotics, a YC-backed startup that's just coming out of stealth, has decided that they want to go after warehouse inventory tracking. That is, making sure that a warehouse knows...

ย  ย  ย  Hours after SpaceX outfitted the first orbital Starship prototype with all six of its Raptor engines, the company has installed the vehicleโ€™s nose section, effectively completing its basic structure. At the same time as teams are now working around the clock to weld Starship S20โ€™s nose and tank sections together, SpaceX attached the first orbital-class Super Heavy โ€“ Booster 4 (B4) โ€“ to a massive crane that lives at the launch pad. Around 3pm CDT (UTC-5), after allowing a minor storm to pass through the area, Super Heavy B4 lifted free from its transport stand, raised 30-40...
