Odense, Denmark, a city with a rich history, is now a global hub for robotics, hosting over 150 companies specializing in robotics, automation, and drones. Known for its collaborative robots or “cobots,” Odense’s robotics industry has its origins in the shipbuilding sector. In the 90s, the Maersk shipping company established the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute (MMMI), which has since become a magnet for students interested in robotics. Despite its small size, Odense faces challenges in scaling up its robotics industry on a global level. Meanwhile, Google has begun testing AI-only search results, potentially revolutionizing how we access information online. Additionally, global sea ice levels have hit a record low, highlighting the urgent need for climate action.
