1、Robotic Highway Cones

They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Nebraska.

For example, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could move from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time. And they can return to the original place at the end of the day. \said. \remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels and cones into place,\Farritor said in a report on his creation.
