You’ll see a lot of surgical robotics talk at this year’s DeviceTalks Boston. Surgical robots are smaller, smarter, and being launched into space. 2024 is going to be a huge year — here’s why. I believe 2024 will be remembered as the year when the surgical robotics sector — not just one company — planted […]

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have applied ideas from the use of artificial intelligence to mitigate traffic congestion to tackle robotic path planning in warehouses. The team has developed a deep-learning model that can decongest robots nearly four times faster than typical strong random search methods, according to MIT. The post MIT AI […]

A new study from two University of Chicago (UChicago) scientists has revealed how HIV squirms its way into the nucleus as it invades a cell. According to their models, the HIV capsid, which is cone-shaped, points its smaller end into the pores of the nucleus and then ratchets itself in. Once the pore is open […]

“The coming year will see a growing focus on the critical role of AI,” said Segura. “From mobile robots and cobots, to enabling new robotic applications in new sectors and creating new opportunities for people to learn and develop, these new frontiers for AI are redefining the future of industrial robotics.” The post 3 ways […]

Thirty-seven robotics firms received funding in March 2024, pulling in a total monthly investment of $642 million. March’s investment figure was significantly less than February’s mark of approximately $2 billion, but it was in keeping with other monthly investments in 2023 and early 2024. The post March 2024 robotics investments total $642M appeared first on […]

MassRobotics recently hosted a Robotics in AgTech event, bringing together innovators and industry leaders to explore challenges and solutions in the agriculture industry. The event served as a catalyst for discussions and offered a glimpse into the transformative potential of robotics for farming, said the Boston-based organization. The post MassRobotics Robotics in Agtech event brings […]

Goodbye to the hydraulic version of Atlas and hello to the electric model designed for commercialization. That’s the message from Boston Dynamics Inc., which retired the older version of its humanoid robot after 15 years of development and today showed a preview of its successor. The post Boston Dynamics debuts electric version of Atlas humanoid […]

Scientists at the University of Cambridge and the University of Massachusetts Amherst used the Summit supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) to run a new model of ocean turbulence. (The OLCF is a DOE Office of Science user facility.) The computer simulated a generic 10-meter cube of ocean water. While […]

A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties, has all the components required for a unique type of superconductivity that could provide the basis for more robust quantum computing. The new combination of materials, created by a team led by researchers at Penn State, could also provide a platform to explore physical behaviors […]

Marketing and consulting firm 360iResearch (not to be confused with Intersect 360 Research) has released a report entitled “Artificial Intelligence Supercomputer Market by Component (Interconnects, Memory, Processors /Computer), Application (Academia & Research, Commercial, Government)” The report predicts that the Global Artificial Intelligence Supercomputer Market will grow from USD 1.90 billion in 2023 to USD 6.43 […]
