Autonomous systems are rewriting the playbook for unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. What was once the domain of science fiction is now unfolding. Drones are flying themselves, making split-second decisions, and executing missions with a level of precision no human pilot can rival. The post The future of flight: How autonomous systems are shaping the […]
With the success of generative AI, there has been much discussion around the potential for bringing the kind of flexible intelligence found in large language models into the physical world. This is often called “embodied AI,” and it is one of the most profoundly transformative opportunities in the global economy. The post When will we […]
The first-ever 1,000 Scientist AI Jam Session, hosted at nine DOE labs including LLNL, immersed scientists in a full-day, hands-on collaboration with OpenAI to evaluate some of the company’s most advanced AI reasoning models on real-world scientific problems. During the event, researchers assessed the models’ capabilities in solving complex scientific challenges and reported their findings, in hopes of […]
Researchers from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University proposed an alternative, autonomous method of observing Arctic ice. The researchers say this method holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime missions, and gaining a deeper understanding of how melting Arctic sea ice affects marine ecosystems. The […]
Using a novel computational modeling technique to test theoretical quantum physics, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered properties of the atomic nucleus at new levels of detail — illuminating behavior of its protons and neutrons amid fundamental forces of nature. The post DEEP DIVE: Exascale Computing […]
Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This understanding could advance efforts in quantum physics and across various sectors, […]
For decades, scientists assumed that only large ocean temperature patterns covering 200 kilometers (124 miles) or more could strongly influence storms. Now, by leveraging advances in computing power, a team of scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have discovered that small-scale ocean […]
The robotics industry, with its rapid growth and transformative potential, presents unique intellectual property (IP) challenges and opportunities. To be successful, entrepreneurs and executives in the industry must strategically leverage IP rights to protect innovations, maintain a competitive edge, and drive business growth. This article provides an overview of the critical IP issues robotics companies […]
The robotics industry has long been captivated by the idea of humanoid robots—machines that mimic human appearance and movement. While this vision aligns with science fiction, it’s not necessarily the best approach for solving real-world automation challenges. In warehouse and logistics operations, where the goal is to transport massive pallets, navigate tight spaces, and optimize […]
As an early investor in Agility Robotics, now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of humanoid robots, I’ve watched as humanoids have evolved from a fascinating concept to reality over the past five years. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made headlines to kick off this year, saying, “Robotics will be […]
