Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states. To make qubits robust and tailor them for applications, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory sought to create a new material system. The post Researchers Advance Topological Superconductors for Quantum Computing appeared first on HPCwire.
The launch of ChatGPT and similar generative AI technologies is reshaping the skills required in the workplace, according to a new report from LinkedIn. “The Future of Work Report: AI at Work” found the pace at which LinkedIn members added AI skills to their profile has nearly doubled since ChatGPT’s debut in November 2022, rising from […]
Google DeeMind introduced RoboCat, a self-improving AI agent for robotics, in its latest paper. RoboCat can learn to perform a variety of tasks across different robotic arms and then self-generate new training data to better improve its technique. Typically, robots are programmed to perform one specific task or a few tasks well, but recent advances […]
The integration of quantum computing into high-performance computing (HPC) centers is a topic of growing interest and urgency. As quantum computing matures, the question is no longer just about its theoretical capabilities but also its practical applicability in real-world computing environments. In fact, many organizations that are shopping for quantum computers require them to be […]
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed robotic microfliers that can change how they move while in the air by snapping into a folding position during descent. The microfliers use a Miuri-ori origami fold when dropped from a drone to switch from tumbling and dispersing outward through the air to dropping straight to the […]
Intuitive Surgical President Dave Rosa says he doesn’t get too excited by the idea of better robotic surgery graspers or more flexible wrists. Instead, Rosa identified two technological opportunities that are going to advance surgical robotics and minimally invasive surgery in a major way: improved visualization for surgeons and focal therapy. The post 2 technologies […]
A team of researchers at the University of Washington has developed robotic, shape-changing smart speakers that can deploy themselves to divide rooms into speech zones and track the positions of individual speakers. Using deep learning algorithms, the system is able to allow users to mute certain areas or separate simultaneous conversations, even if two people […]
According to a recent study conducted by market intelligence firm Interact Analysis, the demand for warehouse automation will start to increase again in 2024 following a challenging year in 2023, albeit at a minimal growth rate. The post Warehouse automation market to return to growth in 2024, says Interact Analysis appeared first on The Robot […]
Coherence stands as a pillar of effective communication, whether it is in writing, speaking or information processing. This principle extends to quantum bits, or qubits, the building blocks of quantum computing. A quantum computer could one day tackle previously insurmountable challenges in climate prediction, material design, drug discovery and more.
Miso Robotics, a developer of AI-powered cooking robots, is teaming up with Cali Group and PopID. The companies are launching an automated restaurant in Pasadena, Calif. Miso’s line of robotic cooks will be automating all of the cooking at CaliExpress. Miso plans to use its proprietary technology to automate the grill and fry stations, while […]
