China Tests Robotic Traffic Cones That Drive Themselves
Original: China Is Testing Robotic Traffic Cones That Drive Themselves Into Position
China is trialling self-driving traffic cones that can reposition themselves at construction sites and roadworks without workers manually lifting them. The robotic cones are designed to move into place automatically, potentially improving safety for road crews and cutting labour costs. Coverage so far is limited to gadget news, with little detail on which agencies are involved or when the technology might be deployed widely.
Why now: Novel Chinese automation technology has caught attention as another example of robotics entering everyday infrastructure.
