ESA to test insect-inspired autonomy from Opteran for future space missions
Opteran’s general-purpose neuromorphic software could be heading to Mars in the coming years. The company announced that Airbus Defence and Space, with support from European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency, will test the Opteran Mind in Airbus space rovers. The...
Robotic Crew offers nearshore robotics development, operations talent
While U.S. companies have outsourced technology work overseas for more than 20 years, quality and political concerns have brought back design, programming, and other engineering tasks back closer to home. Robotic Crew offers staffing in Latin America for robot...
AI Delivers Swifter Simulations for Modern Science
A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of...
Quantum and AI: Navigating the Resource Challenge
Rapid advancements in quantum computing are bringing a new era of technological possibilities. However, as quantum technology progresses, there are growing concerns about the availability of resources—a challenge reminiscent of the recent shortage of Graphics...
AI Helps Researchers Discover Catalyst for Green Hydrogen Production
Researchers from the University of Toronto have used AI to generate a “recipe” for an exciting new catalyst needed to produce green hydrogen fuel. As the effects of climate change begin to become more apparent in our everyday lives, research like this could open the...
Navigating positioning technology for autonomous robot design
As robots become more self-sufficient, they have to navigate their surroundings with greater independence and reliability. Autonomous tractors, agricultural harvesters, and seeding machines must carefully make their way through crop fields while self-driving delivery...

GenAI: It’s Not the GPUs, It’s the Storage
A recent news release from Data storage company WEKA and S&P Global Market Intelligence unveiled the findings of their second annual Global Trends in AI report. The global study, conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, surveyed...
Researchers teaching robots to use color when moving objects
Research at Michigan State University is focused on teaching robots to use colors to perceive, visualize, and interpret interactions when manipulating objects. A force-interpreting optical system is being developed so robots can distinguish and manipulate soft and...
Datacenter Appetite: Nuclear is on the Menu
Hyperscalers have recently made big moves to secure enough power for their data centers. While renewable sources are preferable, there is not enough capacity to feed the next generation of “AI datacenters” on the drawing board. Using fossil fuels is possible but not...
Yes, Big Data Is Still a Thing (It Never Really Went Away)
A funny thing happened on the way to the AI promised land: People realized they need data. In fact, they realized they need large quantities of a wide variety of data, and that it would be better if it was fresh, trusted, and accurate. In other words, people realized...
3 reasons mobile robots haven’t reached mass adoption
Automated mobile robotics is the obvious answer to increased consumer demand and continuing labor shortages today. So, why haven’t AMRs “crossed the chasm” into mass adoption? Or, put even more simply: What aren’t you selling more robots? The post 3 reasons mobile...
