New York City is becoming a boomtown for the robot business as companies are developing and using them to provide massages, install roof shingles, automate medical testing and much more.
“New York benefits from being a global city… we have access to global capital customers in other cities,” said Jacob Hennessy, who runs the New York Robotics Network, a nonprofit that aims to make the city a hub for robot innovation. “We’re seeing a lot of companies relocate to New York … but we are trying to tell the story that you can start here.”
Opentrons, a Long Island City-based company that creates “robots for biologists,” is a good example of that.
The firm, whose name is a nod to the open-source technology and artificial intelligence it uses to program its electronics, was founded in Brooklyn in 2014. A decade later, Opentrons has notched a $1.8 billion valuation and attracted investors, including Bill Gates and billionaire tech founder and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.
The company eliminates the manual labor, like pipetting, involved in conducting experiments and testing lab samples, so scientists are freed up for more high-level work.
The price of the robots starts at $10,000. With the advent of AI tools like ChatGPT, researchers can use Opentrons AI software to write prompts for robots in plain language — like requesting to run a COVID test — and the machine handles the rest. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
