Engineers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have designed a soft, lightweight, and potentially low-cost neuroprosthetic hand. Amputees who tested the artificial limb performed daily activities, such as zipping a suitcase, pouring a carton of juice, and petting a cat, just as well as — and in some cases better than — those with […]
Alphabet is testing how well a fleet of robots can clean some of Google’s offices around the Bay Area. As an update to its Everyday Robots project that was first talked about in 2019, X, the moonshot division of Alphabet, released more details about how these robots are sorting trash, cleaning tables and tidying chairs. The […]
Artificial Intelligence has been a key talking point in the high-performance computing and computer science communities for decades now. The post It’s Time for Real-World AI on the Edge appeared first on HPCwire.
A report by KPIX said residents in the Richmond District of San Francisco have recently seen a steady stream of Waymo self-driving cars making u-turns on the dead-end street of 15th Avenue. One resident said the cars come at all hours of the day. The KPIX report even caught two Waymo vehicles attempting to turn […]
The supercomputer of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), MareNostrum 4, offers daily forecasts to the scientific committee of the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (PEVOLCA) on the movements that the emissions arising from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma will have. These forecasts come from a collaboration between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and […]
Researchers at Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in the United Arab Emirates have demonstrated a new approach to simulate cryptographic hacking algorithms on a quantum simulator that runs on classical computers. One of the key discoveries was a way to model the complexity of such computations that could be scaled to a full-sized quantum computer. The […]
Clearpath Robotics and Open Robotics announced TurtleBot 4, the next generation of the popular open-source mobile robotics platform. TurtleBot 4 aims to build on the success of previous versions by providing a low-cost, fully extensible, ROS-enabled reference platform for robotics researchers, developers, and educators. The post TurtleBot 4 re-designed from ground up with ROS 2 […]
To streamline the CNC machining process and increase efficiency, companies are increasingly implementing robotic automation in support of various types of CNC machines, such as Lathe, Milling, and Plasma Cutting machines. Incorporating robotic automation into CNC shop provides many benefits, be it for a single production cell or an entire workshop. Examples include the following… […]
Given its broad utility, it’s no surprise that light plays a critical role in enabling 21st century quantum information applications. For example, scientists use laser light to precisely control atoms, turning them into ultra-sensitive measures of time, acceleration, and even gravity. Currently, such early quantum technology is limited by size—state-of-the-art systems would not fit on a […]
