Something’s been forgotten in the race to build general-purpose humanoid robots. Roboticists are forgetting to answer this basic question: What does it mean to be general purpose? The post Evolving humanoid robotic dexterity from toddler to adult appeared first on The Robot Report.
Over the past decade, teams of engineers, chemists and biologists have analyzed the physical and chemical properties of cicada wings, hoping to unlock the secret of their ability to kill microbes on contact. If this function of nature can be replicated by science, it may lead to products with inherently antibacterial surfaces that are more […]
The possibilities of high-performance computing are boundless. Every day new and exciting innovations and discoveries are announced that have utilized the power of cyberinfrastructure, and such advancements that benefit all of society should also include all of society in their process. That’s why the Midwest Big Data Innovation Hub (MBDH) has been working to amplify and […]
A group of researchers at MIT have developed a framework that could help robots learn faster in new environments without needing a user to have technical knowledge. This technique helps users without technical knowledge understand why a robot might have failed to perform a task and then allows them to fine-tune the robot with minimal […]
The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) and Intuition Robotics announced the continuation of their partnership that began in May 2022, and new data showing the positive effects of ElliQ, Intuition’s robotic companion for aging adults. The post NYSOFA combats aging adult loneliness with ElliQ robot appeared first on The Robot Report.
SEEQC announced with HQS Quantum Simulations that it has successfully run an algorithm on its SEEQC System Red, the company’s full-stack quantum computing system, that shows great potential to achieve commercially useful quantum advantage in the near term. SEEQCs high quality system characterization has allowed HQS Quantum Simulations to test, for the first time on […]
Aerobotix develops robotic aircraft maintenance systems, including painting aircraft used in the Top Gun movie. The post Aerobotix integrates robots that inspect, prepare, and paint combat aircraft appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has contributed to revealing the mysteries of the Universe: finding slowly spinning neutron stars, weighing galaxies to identify dark matter, finding gravitational waves, even hunting for signs of interstellar civilizations. The launch of a new biography of Pawsey, written by Miller Goss, Claire Hooker and Ron Ekers, is a good […]
Researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) have shed new light on the increasing global occurrence of hot and dry extreme weather events. A recent study led by BSC warns of a significant rise in the risk of these extremes over the upcoming decades in many parts of the world. Source: Barcelona […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proliferating into every corner of our lives. The demand for products and services powered by AI algorithms has skyrocketed alongside the popularity of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and image generation models like Stable Diffusion. With this increase in popularity, however, comes an increase in scrutiny over the computational and […]
