We’ve reported before about how AI is being used to fill in gaps in Flint, Michigan, pipe records to predict where pipes need to be replaced to solve the city’s water crisis, but what about using AI as a tool for mapping known infrastructure? That’s what Mach9 out of Pittsburgh is doing. Co-founder and CEO…

Midwest startup uses AI and robotics to build modern homes
It’s no secret lumber costs have skyrocketed, which opens the door to new building materials and technologies. Enter Terran Robotics, a Midwest startup funded by the NSF and recently run through the ODX accelerator to use proprietary AI and robotics technology to build modern homes.
Midwest High Growth Tech Startups To Watch 2022: Detroit
Detroit continues its lead in the autonomous vehicle and electric vehicle space with new startups coming out every month to address pedestrian safety, in-vehicle AI-based connectivity, and more. As transportation, advanced manufacturing, last-mile logistics, and autonomous technologies advance, expect to see more government investment in these areas to secure Michigan’s future dominance of these markets. Detroit’s got skin in the game and is already investing in an autonomous test highway, multiple self-driving car test facilities, drone deliveries for automakers and the airport, and mobility-focused incubators to support startups across Detroit and the state.
Robots Fabricate a Pavilion To Prove Broader Use Case for Automated Construction
Want to see the best garden pavilion that robots can build? The public is invited October 24 to the opening and ribbon cutting ceremony in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a new structure at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens that combines public spaces with fabrication research.
SE Michigan Cities Develop a New Highway In the Sky
Recent announcements of Michigan opening a first in the nation autonomous highway corridor between Ann Arbor and Detroit have spurred discussions of how that corridor could be used beyond autonomous vehicles. Could air traffic such as drones be a part of it? In our recent interview with the MUASC’s Melinda Marion, we learned that regulations are a long a way off from allowing air traffic such as sky taxis. However, the state of Michigan and various cities surrounding Detroit Metropolitan Airport are as aware as the MUASC that this is a space that must be sorted out as the tech is developed. With that in mind, Aerotropolis is working with communities surrounding Detroit Metro Airport, such as Romulus and Taylor, to work out the permissions and uses of air space around the airport in Detroit.
