Retailers are raising the bar when it comes to liability coverage, and the process of securing the right insurance is becoming more complicated than ever.

We'll unpack what's happening behind the scenes, how you can ensure compliance with retailer requirements, and what you need to know to avoid costly pitfalls.Startup to Scale is a podcast by Foodbevy, an online community to connect emerging food, beverage, and CPG founders to great resources and partners to grow their business.

Imagine you finally get to a point as a beverage company where you can upgrade to your first printed cans. You had to secure a new contract with a can company and co-packer to make it happen. Everything is all set for your production run, and the co-packer starts running your product through the line.But then, disaster strikes. All 10,000 cans come out of the tunnel pasteurizer with labels peeling off. All that product is unsellable, and effectively lost. The copacker blames the can company, and the can company says the facility wasn't approved. You're caught in a frustrating "he said, she said" scenario, with no one taking responsibility. To make matters even worst, your business insurance isn't setup to cover this type of product loss. This is exactly what happened to Sara Delaney, founder of Sarilla.Join me as I talk with Sara along with Russ Taylor, from SecureCPG to learn how this happened and how proper insurance can help you prevent issues like this from happening to your company.Learn More About Sarilla: https://www.drinksarilla.com/Learn More About SecureCPG: https://securecpg.com/Startup to Scale is a podcast by Foodbevy, an online community to connect emerging food, beverage, and CPG founders to great resources and partners to grow their business.

丽莎老师讲机器人之能在心脏里“自动导航、驾驶”的机器人欢迎收听丽莎老师讲机器人，想要孩子参加机器人竞赛、创意编程、创客竞赛的辅导，找丽莎老师！欢迎添加微信号：153 5359 2068，或搜索微信公众号：我最爱机器人。我们的心脏，一刻不停地跳。为心脏做手术也就危机四伏。比如，治疗心脏瓣膜的问题的导管插入术，要求身为医生的人类，手动把导管送到心脏瓣膜的漏点。手动导航的操作，受到心跳的强烈干扰，稍不小心就会出现差错。现在，哈佛医学院的研究人员，把导管变成了机器人，可以在心脏里自动驾驶。完全不用人类医师导航，机器人能自己找到心脏瓣膜的漏点。随着心跳，自动驾驶的道路时刻在变化，可机器人依然能准确抵达目的地。机器人导管，已经在跳动着的猪心脏里测试过，秒速抵达，表现媲美人类医生。那么，在心脏这样复杂的环境里，机器人是怎么找到路的？科学家说，是蟑螂和老鼠给了他们灵感。当然，也少不了机器学习算法。一方面，机器人具有计算机视觉处理能力，另一方面还有蟑螂触角一样的触觉，结合这两种感知能力，它在心脏内自动游走，寻找心脏瓣膜泄漏的位置。所以科学家们把它叫做“触觉视觉自主机器人”。心脏微创手术需要在皮肤上开孔，然后由医生插入导管，靠经验手动操作找到手术位置。而触觉视觉自主机器人为医生省去了手动导航的步骤。触觉为了让导管变成体内自动驾驶的机器人，研究人员除了在前端加入摄像头外，还加入了“光须”。它就像蟑螂用触角、老鼠用胡须探测物体一样，通过力的大小来计算导管前端与心脏内壁的距离。机器人也可以在心脏里找到自己的方向。只要一直沿着“墙”走。要想知道机器人在心脏内的运作方式，我们先要介绍它与心脏的两种接触模式：1、连续接触模式：导管与心壁平行，由于导管的柔韧性，它在心脏跳动时一直与心壁保持接触。2、间歇接触模式：导管与心壁垂直，此时前端正对心脏内壁组织，通过接触力的大小来计算距离。在上面的过程中，患者不必担心探测器会损坏心脏，因为它与心脏瓣膜和心室内壁接触的力量很弱，和黄油沾在手上的力差不多。机器人的触觉依靠的是导管前端与心壁的接触力，以及占空比，即导管和组织接触的时间在整个心跳周期中的比例。实验表明，接触力的大小与占空比在很大一段范围内是成正比的。在间歇接触模式下，机器人也会控制接触力不至于过大，机器人导管尖端在与心脏组织接触后会同步移动，防止心脏收缩时被导管刺伤。除了触觉，自动导航机器人也要用到视觉。研究人员设计了一种基于机器学习的图像分类器，可以区分血液、心室壁组织和生物假体主动脉瓣膜。该算法基于感兴趣的特定特征出现的次数，确定这些特征的数量和图像类别之间的关系。用一组手动标记的医学图像对算法进行训练，2000张照片的只需训练4分钟即可完成。将所得的模型用在7000张测试图像中，正确率能达到了97%。当触觉视觉传感器横向压在组织上时，组织会在传感器尖端周围变形，覆盖其视野的一部分。导航算法识别图像中组织比例，再调整导管的位置。为了评估自动导航算法，研究人员比较了自动导航和远程操作（领域内专家用操纵杆控制）和手动控制（手持导管）三种不同手术方式的结果。在90次实验中，自动导航成功了89次。自动导航比远程操作速度更快、方差更小，但是比手动控制要慢。参与实验的研究人员表示，现在他们已经在猪的身上实验成功，进入手术室还需要几年的时间。有什么意义呢首先，就像开头提到的那样，受到心跳的干扰，手动导航并不简单。除此之外，手术是个辛苦的过程，需要全程保持动作的高度精确。如果分给机器人一部分任务，医生便可以专注在更加关键的手术步骤上，避免疲惫造成的动作变形，保证手术质量。就像飞机的自动驾驶，解放了飞行员那样。约翰霍普金斯大学的Russ Taylor教授，也是医疗机器人领域的专家，他说：这是一项重大的成就。一旦“自动驾驶”导管的技术成熟、投入使用，可能给心脏外科手术带来不小的变革。另外，虽然现在这项研究是用于心脏，但“在人体里自动驾驶”的做法，还可以有许多其他用处。脑血管，气道，胃肠道，脑室系统等等，不同部位的病症，都可以用“沿着墙走”的方法，来做微创手术。即便是没有血液流动的部位，触觉×视觉的分析方法也不会失色：依然可以用其他类型的传感器，来感知组织接触的情况，然后成像。

Russ Taylor is a dynamic businessman, a leader in the tech space, and a born entrepreneur. As CEO, President and Founder of Fusion of Ideas, Taylor is steward of the only American mobile integration company of its kind offering end-to-end mobile device branding experiences, in-house app development as well as mobile integration programs & consulting for some of the largest brand names in the world. Founded in 2003, Fusion of Ideas has a rich history of disrupting the mobile device market, first with never-before-seen carbon fiber accessories featured in nationally acclaimed outlets such as Wired Magazine and Gizmodo. In 2010, a few years after the launch of the first iPhone, Taylor’s custom solution for a blocked antenna issue on the iPhone 4 was the buzz around town, most notably recommended by America’s favorite technology guru himself, David Pogue of The New York Times (now a tech correspondent on CBS News Sunday Morning). As smart personal electronic devices increased in popularity, Taylor followed his keen entrepreneurial instinct and expanded his services to include mobile integration and customization in the B2B market. This opened the door for Fusion to work with businesses of all sizes, leading to exponential growth in a short span of time. In 2014, Fusion of Ideas closed its retail space and moved to an office in Lake Forest, California, where it now focuses solely on servicing clients in the B2B market. Taylor is a graduate of Brigham Young University, where he studied advertising and marketing. In his spare time, Taylor finds great satisfaction in racing his Z28 Camaro in the Super Touring Series of the National Auto Sport Association. Outside of the track, he enjoys leading a troop of Boy Scouts, traveling, and spending quality time with his family. Taylor resides in Ladera Ranch, Calif. with his wife Debbie and their two young children.
