Drosophila melanogaster, better known as the fruit fly, might seem like a run-of-the-mill pest. These insects, however, are critical for ongoing research into various neurological diseases at Texas Children’s Hospital. The post Texas Children’s Hospital transfers fruit flies with ABB YuMi cobot for neurological research appeared first on The Robot Report.
Lehigh University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) researchers have developed an accelerating sparse accumulation (ASA) architecture, specialized hardware that enables faster computation on data sets that have a high number of zero values. Their work was first published in ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization and has led to a provisional patent. The post Berkeley […]
Robots working with humans to support a range of flexible applications has been a global trend. The cobot industry has grown as part of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. The post 7 cobots released so far in 2024 appeared first on The Robot Report.
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 […]
