While U.S. companies have outsourced technology work overseas for more than 20 years, quality and political concerns have brought back design, programming, and other engineering tasks back closer to home. Robotic Crew offers staffing in Latin America for robot development, as well as operations and fleet management. The post Robotic Crew offers nearshore robotics development, […]
A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond. New research is putting this […]
Rapid advancements in quantum computing are bringing a new era of technological possibilities. However, as quantum technology progresses, there are growing concerns about the availability of resources—a challenge reminiscent of the recent shortage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) faced by companies in the AI sector. The post Quantum and AI: Navigating the Resource Challenge appeared […]
Researchers from the University of Toronto have used AI to generate a “recipe” for an exciting new catalyst needed to produce green hydrogen fuel. As the effects of climate change begin to become more apparent in our everyday lives, research like this could open the door to green hydrogen fuel that could be used for […]
As robots become more self-sufficient, they have to navigate their surroundings with greater independence and reliability. Autonomous tractors, agricultural harvesters, and seeding machines must carefully make their way through crop fields while self-driving delivery vehicles must safely traverse the streets to place packages in the correct spot. Across a wide range of applications, autonomous mobile […]
A recent news release from Data storage company WEKA and S&P Global Market Intelligence unveiled the findings of their second annual Global Trends in AI report. The global study, conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, surveyed over 1500 AI practitioners and decision-makers to understand the underlying trends influencing AI adoption and […]
Research at Michigan State University is focused on teaching robots to use colors to perceive, visualize, and interpret interactions when manipulating objects. A force-interpreting optical system is being developed so robots can distinguish and manipulate soft and fragile objects – which will be particularly helpful for medical and other assistive robots. The post Researchers teaching […]
Hyperscalers have recently made big moves to secure enough power for their data centers. While renewable sources are preferable, there is not enough capacity to feed the next generation of “AI datacenters” on the drawing board. Using fossil fuels is possible but not desirable or sustainable. That leaves nuclear power as the best medium-term solution. […]
A funny thing happened on the way to the AI promised land: People realized they need data. In fact, they realized they need large quantities of a wide variety of data, and that it would be better if it was fresh, trusted, and accurate. In other words, people realized they have a big data problem. […]
Automated mobile robotics is the obvious answer to increased consumer demand and continuing labor shortages today. So, why haven’t AMRs “crossed the chasm” into mass adoption? Or, put even more simply: What aren’t you selling more robots? The post 3 reasons mobile robots haven’t reached mass adoption appeared first on The Robot Report.
