Overprovisioning clusters is easy but comes at great expense. Installing systems that meet this demand are hard to optimize, scale, and manage on a day-to-day basis. As such, those undertaking such efforts must carefully plan for and address every step of the process – designing, building, deploying, and managing high-performance clusters for AI. The post […]
Modern robotics has come a long way since the 1960s. We’ve created robots accurate enough to work on a production line and safe enough to maneuver around a facility floor. The next frontier for them extends beyond factories and warehouses into rugged environments, especially in remote outdoor areas. In these locations, the robotics charging challenges […]
MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart’s right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with synthetic, balloon-like artificial muscles that enable scientists to control the ventricle’s contractions while observing how its natural valves and other intricate structures function. The post MIT […]
Given the rapid uptake and untested effectiveness of AI technologies, HPCwire asked Steve Conway, senior analyst at Intersect360 Research, to comment on government attempts to regulate AI and what effect these might have on HPC. Conway has closely tracked AI progress for more than a decade. He has spoken and published widely on this topic, […]
When you push a button to open a garage door, it doesn’t open every garage door in the neighborhood; that’s because the opener and the door are communicating using a specific microwave frequency, a frequency no other nearby door is using. Researchers from the University of Chicago, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National […]
The journey of robotics to establishing a presence in retail stores is a decade in the making. Progress has been slowed by people’s perceptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the complexity of problems to solve, as well as the fact that the industry has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies. The post Retail robots are […]
This photograph of Neptune, one of the ice giant planets addressed in a paper recently published by researchers at UC Berkeley, was reconstructed from two images taken by NASA Voyager 2. Credit: NASA What’s going on inside the most distant planets in our solar system? The ice giant planets Uranus, Neptune, and sub-Neptune exoplanets are […]
The ocean provides about half of the oxygen necessary for humans to survive. Scientists at Oregon State University wanted to better understand how plankton populations in the ocean will respond to climate change. To study plankton populations, they developed a new way of photographing large populations of these creatures at sea, using PSC’s Bridges-2 system […]
In today’s fundraising environment with its intense focus on cash flow positive business models, robotics entrepreneurs are left navigating some thorny challenges: high CapEx costs, workflow and change management, and long enterprise deployment cycles to name a few. This is further exacerbated by the choice of a business model such as RaaS (Robotics as a […]
While defense spending is the source of many innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence, government policy usually takes a while to catch up to technological developments. Given all the attention on generative AI this year, October’s executive order on AI safety and security was “encouraging,” observed Dr. Brendan Englot, director of the Stevens Institute for […]
