Although technology has been instrumental in finding exoplanets, finding exoplanets remains challenging. With the sheer volume of data generated by space missions, satellites, and telescopes, traditional methods for data analysis are often insufficient. The variable sizes, great distances, brightness contrast with host stars, and obscured orbital positions have added to the challenge. The post AI […]
As we enter the third quarter of the year, the frenzy around humanoid robots has continued. In August 2024, five of our top 10 stories were about such robots or humanoid alternatives. Company shutdowns and rebrands also grabbed our readers’ attention this past month. Here are the top 10 most popular stories on The Robot Report […]
Stress can have a huge impact on your health. Everything from your mood to your blood pressure can be negatively impacted by high amounts of stress, but there could be other, deadlier consequences to chronic of stress. Scientists have been studying the possible link between stress and cancer for a long time. For some people, […]
D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced the results of a new study today that reveals a majority of surveyed businesses actively using quantum computing foresee an exceptional return on investment (ROI) from their quantum optimization efforts — with an expected combined potential positive financial impact to reach up to an estimated $51.5 billion. The post D-Wave Commissioned […]
As the hare learned from the tortoise, speed isn’t everything. Theoretical computer scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and Boston University have discovered that quantum computers are unrivaled at solving an advanced math problem. Unusually, they proved quantum computers are not faster than regular computers; instead, they use far less memory. The post Sandia Highlights Quantum […]
Recovery boilers represent a significant capital expenditure in the pulp and paper industry. While a well-maintained boiler can last for decades, routine care of this system can present challenges. Maintenance duties are often messy and risky for the operator, and many tasks are time-consuming and require full or partial boiler shutdown. This can harm overall […]
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) have created a new soft robotic system that combines advanced vision technology, motor-based proprioception, soft tactile sensors, and a new algorithm. RobGrocery can handle a continuous stream of unpredictable objects moving along a conveyor belt, they said. The post RoboGrocery […]
Asteroid Institute, a program of B612 Foundation, and Google Cloud announced the most significant results of their partnership to date: identifying 27,500 new, high-confidence asteroid discovery candidates. The work, which took place over several weeks, has the potential to enable the mapping of the solar system and protect the Earth from collisions, advancing the field […]
By emitting sounds and analyzing resulting echoes, humans and animals use active acoustic sensing systems to explore and comprehend their surroundings. Humans use high-frequency sonar systems, also known as echosounders or fishfinders, to observe fish and zooplankton in the ocean. Toothed whales and bats, on the other hand, utilize the same principles via echolocation to […]
With the deployment of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) happening at a rapid pace, organizations of all sizes are tasked with navigating the challenges around implementation, especially regarding ethics and accuracy. The post Four Steps to Ensure GenAI Safety and Ethics appeared first on HPCwire.
