fAn MQ-9 Reaper drone owned by the United States made an emergency landing this week in Poland. Though no further details have been released, Poland's General Command of the Armed Forces tweeted that the piloted craft had to land suddenly after disconnecting from its command station. According to the Pentagon, the craft was "conducting routine training operations when it lost connection with the command station, affecting their ability to operate the aircraft." "Preparations for recovery are currently underway and investigation of the incident is in progress," said the U.Department of Defense (DOD) in a statement to Newsweek.

North American companies experienced yet another record-breaking year when it comes to robot orders in 2023. According to a report from the Robotic Industries Association, total robot orders grew by 13 percent over the previous year, with strong growth reported among automotive and plastics manufacturers. In addition, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement contributed to increased demand for robots in North America, as more companies began using them to reduce labor costs and improve quality control. All of these factors combined resulted in an all-time high for robotic orders in North America during 2023. Looking ahead, businesses are likely to continue investing in robotics technology as they seek ways to remain competitive and respond rapidly to changing market conditions.
