The Download: recycling’s role, and tidying robots
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology.

Why recycling alone can’t power climate techThe potential to use old, discarded products to make something new sounds a little bit like magic. This is why, in some cases at least, recycling is going to be a crucial tool for climate technology.

But there are massive challenges ahead in material demand for climate technologies, and unfortunately, recycling alone won’t be enough to address them. Our climate reporter Casey Crownhart has taken a look at why recycling isn’t always the answer—and what else might help instead. Read the full story. 

This story is from The Spark, our weekly newsletter covering climate technology. Sign up to receive it in your inbox every Wednesday.

This robot can tidy a room without any help

The news: A new robotic system called OK-Robot could train robots to pick up and move objects in settings they haven’t encountered before. A robot running the system, which uses publicly-available AI models, was able to pick up and move objects around a room with an 58.5% success rate—rising to 82% in rooms that were less cluttered.

Why it matters: While robots may easily complete tasks like these in a laboratory, getting them to work in an unfamiliar environment is a real challenge. OK-Robot could help to plug the gap between rapidly improving AI models and actual robot capabilities, as it doesn’t require any additional training. Read the full story.

+ Here’s why everyone’s getting excited about household robots again.

+ This new system can teach a robot a simple household task within 20 minutes. The Dobb-E domestic robotics system was trained in real people’s homes and could help solve the field’s data problem. Read the full story.

+ Watch this robot cook shrimp and clean autonomously. Even cheap hardware can perform complex tasks, and AI is helping robots get smarter still. Read the full story.

The big story

Government technology is famously bad. It doesn’t have to be.

October 2023

It’s a reality of politics that is often overlooked: once a law is passed, it needs to evolve from an idea into a plan with a budget and staff, and from there it needs to actually reach the lives of millions of people. Moving from policy to implementation has always been a hard part of governing. Today it’s easy to assume technology can make it easier. But is that actually true?

New York City is something of a test lab for strategies to confront some big problems that plague the modern state. And it is finding that sometimes the solutions are surprisingly low-tech. Read the full story.

—Tate Ryan-Mosley
