Over the next two years, the number of liquid-cooled data centers is projected to grow from less than 1 percent of the market to about 30 percent of all installations. The reason behind such spectacular growth is clear – the power of the processors is growing rapidly every 6 months, and so is the power […]

Robot orders in North America remained essentially flat in the first quarter of 2025, according to the Association for Advancing Automation (A3). The organization found that companies purchased 9,064 units valued at $580.7 million in Q1 of 2025. The post A3: North American robot orders remain steady to start 2025 appeared first on The Robot […]

DETROIT — With more than 40,000 attendees and 800 exhibitors, Automate 2025 as a prime place to see and learn about the latest industrial automation. The post New enabling technologies from Automate 2025 appeared first on The Robot Report.

In support of the U.S. Navy, SURVICE Engineering today awarded Near Earth Autonomy a $790,000 contract. Under the contract, Near Earth will deliver and support miniaturized autonomy systems under SURVICE’s prime contract for the U.S. Marine Corps Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) program. The post Near Earth Autonomy to deliver miniaturized autonomy systems for […]

Waymo is sending a small fleet of robotaxis to map the city of Boston. The cars won’t be driving autonomously. Instead, the vehicles will have trained, human autonomous specialists behind the wheel at all times. The post Waymo robotaxis to map Boston appeared first on The Robot Report.

Nearly eight years ago, Harvard University researchers unveiled RoboBee, a small, hybrid robot that could fly, dive, and swim. Now, engineers at the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory have outfitted RoboBee with its most reliable landing gear to date, inspired by the crane fly. The post Harvard equips its RoboBee with crane fly-inspired landing gear appeared first […]

Using accelerators in HPC has pushed performance to new levels. Starting with early GPUs, the ability to take advantage of the parallel processing hardware (in the form of SIMD processing) has been a huge boon for HPC performance. As a result, the HPC market has been a big driver for GPU designs, including features like […]

A recent collaboration involving Merck, Amgen, Deloitte, and QuEra Computing has explored a novel approach—quantum reservoir computing (QRC)—to better handle these small-data scenarios for molecular property prediction. The success of this project not only illuminates the potential of QRC in drug discovery but also suggests broader applications in time-series analysis, missing-data imputation, and biomarker detection. […]

There’s a race around the world to build the next Silicon Valley, but for quantum computing. Quantum advocates see riches, influence, and maybe redemption for sites like south Chicago. The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is being built on the site of US Steel’s South Works, which closed in 1992. The post Chicago’s Bet on […]

Researchers from China have reported using a quantum computer to fine-tune a 1 billion parameter AI model according to an article today in the state-run Global Times. This would be a first for a project of that scale. Using quantum computers to generate high quality data for training and for fine-tuning AI models is thought […]
