Robotics Summary

Waymo is facing scrutiny after it issued a voluntary recall for its robotaxi fleet due to safety concerns, particularly incidents where vehicles failed to stop for school buses with deployed stop signs.

Although the company confirmed that all vehicles received a software update by November 17th, they have decided to keep the robotaxis operational on the roads despite these issues, according to ABC7. Meanwhile, Pudu Robotics showcased its robot dog at Tokyo's International Robot Exhibition, part of an overseas marketing effort to promote their technology, highlighting the growing interest and investment in robotics in various sectors, including agriculture and automation.
