Noah Medical’s Galaxy is a fully integrated surgical robotics system for navigated bronchoscopy. | Credit: Noah Medical Medical robotics continues its impressive march forward within mainstream medicine. From new applications to new technologies, the field demonstrated impressive growth over the last year. But there’s still incredible room to grow, and looking ahead in 2024, there […]
2023 was full of exciting innovations within the robotics industry. We’ve seen the rise of new technologies, and robotics developers have pushed the boundaries of what robots can do. At the same time, there has been a dip in robotics funding across the board, and some sectors have struggled to gain public trust. Let’s look […]
Software implementation in high-performance computing is getting more fragmented as organizations opt for tools in their walled garden environments. However, a new organization formed under the Linux Foundation could bring some order to the chaos. The non-profit at Supercomputing 2023 announced its intent to create the High-Performance Software Foundation (HPSF), which will encourage developing and […]
A research collaboration including a team based at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics has long leveraged world-class supercomputing resources to understand how our universe came to exist in its current form. Building on the successes of the previous “Millennium,” “Illustris,” and “IllustrisTNG” projects, the researchers are simulating dark matter in unprecedented detail in the […]
The safety of autonomous vehicles has been called into question after incidents such as an accident last month involving Cruise led to a pause in operations, layoffs, and the resignation of the company’s CEO. However, development continues, and the Toyota Research Institute recently provided reporters a glimpse into its Accelerated Concepts program in “active safety.” […]
The global market for collaborative robots could reach $1.6 billion this year, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.12% to 2026, predicted Research and Markets. It cited the rise of smart factories and growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. The post Cobots are primed to take over the automotive industry, says Universal Robots […]
Penguins always come to supper with their finery on. It hardly matters that their dinner rarely varies. Pygoscelis penguin, a genus that covers three distinct species of penguin, also called brush-tailed penguins, are much smaller than the famous emperor penguin. They live in the southernmost places on Earth, with some colonies living as far north […]
A new set of AI-based code conversion tools is available with IBM watsonx. Before introducing the new “watsonx,” let’s talk about the previous generation Watson, perhaps better known as “Jeopardy!-Watson.” The post Watsonx Brings AI Visibility to Banking Systems appeared first on HPCwire.
Scientists have unlocked many secrets about particle interactions at atomic and subatomic levels. However, one mystery that has eluded researchers is dark matter. Current supercomputers don’t have the capability to run custom machine learning (ML) architectures that can tackle calculating the properties and interactions of large atomic nuclei needed to help in solving this mystery. […]
