Why Robot Sensors Fail in High Humidity
Lucas and Luna explore why robot sensors struggle in high-humidity environments like food processing plants and coastal warehouses. They focus on a 2025 incident at a seafood processor where condensation caused a vision-guided gripper to drop 12 percent of its catch. The hosts break down the physics of fogging and condensation on LiDAR and cameras, discuss current mitigation strategies like hydrophobic coatings and heated housings, and examine why this problem remains unsolved across industries from agriculture to offshore robotics. No clickbait, just a specific engineering challenge with…
