Overall global industrial robot shipment volumes exceeded 500,000 units in 2023, Interact Analysis reports. The global market research firm says the industry is starting to bounce back from a 2023 low point. Industrial robot shipments are similar to levels seen in 2022, although the average price of industrial robots decreased last year. The market saw […]
“In this long-term study, we first used the Comet supercomputer to run tens of millions of simulations – looking at how ribonucleic acid (RNA) works within individual maize genes,” said Solares, a lecturer and researcher with the UC San Diego Computer Science and Engineering Department. “We ran our sims primarily on SDSC’s Comet and then […]
Rain, a developer of aerial wildfire containment technology, and Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company specializing in advanced rotorcraft, are researching how to fight wildfires autonomously. The companies completed test flights in late 2023 using an autonomous helicopter that carries and dumps water onto wild fires in the very early stages. The flight demonstration took place […]
We have all thought about it. No one has done it, but now, thanks to HPC, we see what it looks like. Hold on to your feet because NASA has released videos of what it is like to orbit and enter a black hole. And yes, it crosses the event horizon (don’t worry, nothing to […]
The robotics industry has seen major growth and maturity in the past decade. Technology advances such as vision systems and computing power, along with the rise of artificial intelligence, have helped the industry grow in many ways. Robots also are getting cheaper and more affordable. Robots are taking a greater role and improving automation in […]
The Robot Report recently spoke with Ph.D. student Cheng Chi about his research at Stanford University and recent publications about using diffusion AI models for robotics applications. He also discussed the recent universal manipulation interface, or UMI gripper, project, which demonstrates the capabilities of diffusion model robotics. The post Stanford researcher discusses UMI gripper and […]
With actions from suppliers like Siemens, Interact Analysis expects the market for machine-integrated robot control to grow rapidly over the next few years. The post Demand for integrated robot control surges appeared first on The Robot Report.
With the help of generative AI, researchers from MIT and the University of Basel in Switzerland have developed a new machine-learning framework that can help uncover new insights about materials science. The findings of the study were published in Physical Review Letters (ArXiv version). The post Scientists Use GenAI to Uncover New Insights in Materials […]
In this recent blog post, CSC’s Maari Alanko and Pihla Kauranen highlight the power of international collaboration in climate research, featuring cutting-edge projects like the study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Leveraging the LUMI supercomputer, researchers are uncovering insights into global sea level rise, showcasing the vital role of high-performance computing in addressing environmental challenges. […]
June 10, 2024 — On Friday, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This year-long, worldwide initiative will celebrate the contributions of quantum science to technological progress over the past century, raise global awareness of its importance to sustainable development in the 21st century, and ensure that […]
