With 2024 in the rearview mirror, we’re looking back at some of the biggest robotics trends of the year. While the year was full of exciting innovations and new technologies, we also saw the industry weather dips in funding and slower sales. Here are our five biggest trends for 2024: The post 5 biggest robotics […]
The humanoid robot market experienced remarkable growth in 2024, with Goldman Sachs Research projecting that it will reach $38 billion by 2035, up more than sixfold from its previous estimate of $6 billion. The post How 2024 reshaped the humanoid robotics landscape appeared first on The Robot Report.
In high-performance computing (HPC), three critical infrastructure technologies— AI factories, liquid cooling, and modular datacenters—are reshaping how organizations design and scale their IT systems. As digital transformation accelerates, AI takes a central role in business strategy, and high-density processing becomes the norm, these technologies have emerged as essential pre-requisites and are forming the new “InfraTech” […]
Factories worldwide are continuing to adopt more robots, according to the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. The new global average robot density reached a record 162 units per 10,000 employees in 2023 — more than double the 74 unit average measured only seven years ago. The post In just seven years, the global robot […]
[Last Week], news of DeepSeek GPT swept through the media. The market reacted, and many hardware companies (e.g., Nvidia, ASML, Broadcom, Marvell) saw a drop in their market value. Presumably, the demand for truckloads of GPUs will be reduced because DeepSeek has delivered a foundation model that rivals the “big kids” at 1/50 the cost. […]
In a world where convenience and promptness are crucial, customers expect quicker deliveries. Consequently, businesses have been compelled to reconsider their plans to find more economical and effective methods, including drone logistics. The post Beyond ground transportation: The rise of drone logistics appeared first on The Robot Report.
For AI, benchmarks such as MLPerf help hyperscalers get a real-world view of performance and optimize new models to hardware. The benchmark tells the company that the model can be fine-tuned further for GPUs or ASICs. Here are some reasons why benchmarks are important. The post Why Supercomputer Benchmarking Is So Important appeared first on […]
As the world continues to navigate new pathways brought about by generative AI, the need for tools that can illuminate the risk and reliability of these systems has never felt more urgent. MLCommons is working to shine a light into the black box of AI with its new safety benchmark for large language models, AILuminate […]
MassRobotics recently hosted the “Robotics in Age & Assistive Tech” event in collaboration with The Grid and Harvard’s Move Lab. Held at the Harvard Science & Engineering Complex, the event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss the challenges and solutions in the rapidly growing field of robotics and assistive technology. The post Robots making a […]
A German study outlines the benefits of having a diverse team for robotics research. | Source: Adobe Stock The field of robotics is highly interdisciplinary, encompassing mechanical and electrical engineering, materials science, computer science, neuroscience, and biology. If that academic diversity is paired with workforce diversity, it could drive more creativity and innovation, according to […]
