    Opinion: How robots are learning to navigate the building site
    Saminda Wattuhewa, senior lecturer and course leader in cyber security, University of Portsmouth A construction site is one of the worst places to rely on GPS. Concrete floors stack overhead, steel frames scatter the signal, and basements block it outright. Yet this is exactly the environment where autonomous robots are increasingly expected to work precisely […]David Edwards
