Congratulations to the @elroyair team for completing the first flight with their full scale vehicle. An important milestone along the path towards autonomously delivering 250 lbs of cargo with a 300 miles range...think of all the applications. venturebeat.com/2019/08/28/e…
Autonomous Labor has emerged as an important theme for our fund. What does it mean? Using automation and robotics to augment labor forces in many traditional industries. And even help solve some significant labor issues that are right around the corner. medium.com/@rouz_85704/the-n…
