Aptly named the 'Delta' robot, it is a unique assembly of household items like pots, pans and an old television monitor. The Delta robot isn't as sophisticated as robots deployed in hospitality or for care in places like Japan, but was created by locals and is comprised of only used materials from their own neighbourhood. It has been a friendly face during the current Covid outbreak in Indonesia, and has been delivering essentials to residents for the past few months. Learn more in this week’s kwip 🤖

Farms that use hydroponics (grow produce without soil, usually in large warehouses) and traditional greenhouses have started to become integral parts of our food supply chain, mainly for leafy greens. Vertical hydroponic farming is often seen as a sustainable alternative to traditional growing. Canadian-based startup Just Vertical is now expanding its offering to home gardeners, and its two new products, the Aeva and the Eve, are marketed as elegant pieces of furniture that can grow between 8 and 10 pounds of food a month.

Tourists visiting the picturesque port at Cassis in the south of France often see an ugly sight: plastic bags, discarded drinks bottles, etc. floating in the water among the boats in the marina. However, the port has now found a solution in the form of Jellyfishbot, a robotic boat that weaves around the harbour and is about the size of a suitcase, making it easier to get into narrow spaces where rubbish tends to accumulate.

A green roof is 'a roof or deck where vegetation or habitat for wildlife is deliberately established.' Along with providing a safe space for rare wildlife, building green roofs in cities can offer a range of other benefits, such as improving local air quality and building resilience against extreme weather events (e.g. urban heat island effect, floods).

Since most online outlets are funded by advertisers, stories that garner more ad clicks can also become more visible in Google’s search algorithms. Consequently, news organizations are then more likely to publish similar articles when they see certain stories getting high engagement. The creators' goal isn't to amplify climate coverage, but to call attention to the terrible incentive structures that decide which climate stories get told and amplified by advertisers and search algorithms.

The good news is bee conservation efforts are in full swing globally, with tech firms innovating to help save the bees.
