Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and UC Berkeley want to give quadrupeds more capabilities similar to their biological counterparts. Just like real dogs can use their front legs for things other than walking and running, like digging and other manipulation tasks, the researchers think quadrupeds could someday do the same. The post Researchers taught […]
Researchers at the University of Oxford have recently created a quantum memory within a trapped-ion quantum network node. Their unique memory design, introduced in a paper in Physical Review Letters, has been found to be extremely robust, meaning that it could store information for long periods of time despite ongoing network activity. The post A […]
Amazon recently detailed how Astro, the company’s multi-purpose home robot, can navigate through its environment with limited onboard computational capabilities. Astro’s sensor field of view and onboard computational capabilities aren’t nearly as powerful as other autonomous robots. While this makes it a more affordable option for consumers, it also means it’s more challenging for Amazon to […]
A research team from MIT created a trajectory-planning system called Robust MADER that can allow drones working together in the same airspace to pick safe paths forward without crashing into each other. The algorithm is an updated version of MADER, a 2020 project that worked well in simulation but didn’t hold up in real-world testing. […]
A team of physicists from Ghent University—Interuniversity Microelectronics Center, Technical University of Denmark and Politecnico & Università di Bari, reports that it is possible to use quantum fluctuations to generate random numbers faster than standard methods. The post Using Quantum Fluctuations to Generate Random Numbers Faster appeared first on HPCwire.
Researchers Ludovico Lami (QuSoft and IoP, University of Amsterdam) and Mark M. Wilde (Cornell) have made significant progress in quantum computing by deriving a formula that predicts the effects of environmental noise. This is crucial for designing and building quantum computers capable of working in our imperfect world. The post How to Overcome Noise in […]
Currently there are many qubit types under development. One that’s received relatively little notice is the fluxonium qubit. It’s a less well-studied cousin of the transmon superconducting qubit being developed by IBM, Google, Rigetti and others. The post Will Fluxonium Qubits Join the Crowded Race for Effective Qubits? appeared first on HPCwire.
Interact Analysis expects annual shipments will jump from less than 2,000 in 2022, to just above 50,000 by the end of the decade. The post Over 150,000 picking robots to be installed by 2030 appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
Siemens and Microsoft are harnessing the collaborative power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help industrial companies drive innovation and efficiency across the design, engineering, manufacturing and operational lifecycle of products. At Hannover Messe, the two technology leaders will demonstrate how generative AI can enhance factory automation and operations through AI-powered software development, problem reporting […]
Bert de Jong leads the Applied Computing for Scientific Discovery Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He also heads the Advancing Integrated Development Environments for Quantum Computing through Fundamental Research (AIDE-QC) project, a multi-institution effort in open-source computing, programming and simulation for Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program, and has leadership roles in several other DOE-supported […]
