A Google-led team of researchers have presented more evidence that it’s possible to run productive circuits on today’s near-term intermediate scale quantum devices that are beyond the reach of classical computing. The post Google Reports Progress on Quantum Devices beyond Supercomputer Capability appeared first on HPCwire.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Vanderbilt University are pioneering a new approach to prostate cancer surgery by combining advanced robotics and “low-field” MRI technology. The post Researchers combine robotics, MRI tech for new approach to prostate cancer surgery appeared first on The Robot Report.
Harnessing the power artificial intelligence (AI) and the world’s fastest supercomputers, a research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed an innovative computing framework to speed up the design of new proteins. The post Argonne Team Breaks New Ground in AI-driven Protein Design appeared first on HPCwire.
Robot Utility Models, or RUM for short, are a new area of research and development for the advancement of AI training for robotics. RUM was created by Lerrel Pinto, an assistant professor of computer science, and a team at at New York University. This open-source research project is attempting to generalize training for robots when […]
There’s been a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) about the potential for generative AI to take people’s jobs. The capability of large language models (LLMs) to answer questions and handle digital tasks when prompted has caught people’s attention, for better and for worse. But what are the odds that LLMs actually will replace […]
October was another busy month for the robotics industry. It included many new developments and the return of exciting events, like RoboBusiness, which took in Santa Clara, Calif. Large funding rounds, new AI product developments, and, of course, humanoids were just a few of the things that drew our readers’ attention this month. Here are […]
Fifty-four producers of robots and robotics enabling technologies raised funding in September 2024, pulling in a total of $3.7 billion. This is the highest monthly funding amount for 2024. The post Robotics investments top $3.7B in September appeared first on The Robot Report.
A recent study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers provides fundamental insight into how light, electrons, and crystal vibrations interact in materials. The research has implications for developing on-chip architectures for quantum information processing, significantly reducing fabrication constraints, and thermal management. The post Researchers Develop New Techniques to Control Light for Improved Quantum […]
Teleoperation can be a powerful method, not only for performing complex tasks, but also for collecting on-robot data. This data is essential for robot learning from demonstrations, as teleoperation offers accurate and precise examples, plus natural and smooth trajectories for imitation learning. These allow the learned policies to generalize to a environments, configurations, and tasks. […]
State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don’t give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors and controllers that move the limb using predefined gait algorithms. The post Brain-controlled prosthesis creates natural gait for amputees appeared first on The Robot […]
