Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Chinese tech company Leapting's AI-controlled robot successfully helped install 10,000 solar modules at its first commercial deployment in Australia. The 2.5-meter-high robotic arm sits on a crawler that can adapt to different terrain and environmental conditions. Its use increased efficiency by three to five times compared to manual operations. The robot will be deployed to another Australian solar farm to start work in May to install around 500,000 panels.
