Watsonx Brings AI Visibility to Banking Systems
A new set of AI-based code conversion tools is available with IBM watsonx. Before introducing the new “watsonx,” let’s talk about the previous generation Watson, perhaps better known as “Jeopardy!-Watson.” The post Watsonx Brings AI Visibility to Banking Systems...
Leveraging Machine Learning in Dark Matter Research for the Aurora Exascale System
Scientists have unlocked many secrets about particle interactions at atomic and subatomic levels. However, one mystery that has eluded researchers is dark matter. Current supercomputers don’t have the capability to run custom machine learning (ML) architectures that...
Researchers Advance Topological Superconductors for Quantum Computing
Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states. To make qubits robust and tailor them for applications, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory sought to...
Navigating the AI Skills Revolution in the Age of GenAI: LinkedIn Report
The launch of ChatGPT and similar generative AI technologies is reshaping the skills required in the workplace, according to a new report from LinkedIn. “The Future of Work Report: AI at Work” found the pace at which LinkedIn members added AI skills to their profile...
RoboCat AI model teaches itself to perform new tasks
Google DeeMind introduced RoboCat, a self-improving AI agent for robotics, in its latest paper. RoboCat can learn to perform a variety of tasks across different robotic arms and then self-generate new training data to better improve its technique. Typically, robots...
What Does It Mean for Quantum Computers to Be HPC-Ready?
The integration of quantum computing into high-performance computing (HPC) centers is a topic of growing interest and urgency. As quantum computing matures, the question is no longer just about its theoretical capabilities but also its practical applicability in...
These battery-free robots change shape mid-air using origami
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed robotic microfliers that can change how they move while in the air by snapping into a folding position during descent. The microfliers use a Miuri-ori origami fold when dropped from a drone to switch from...
2 technologies that will be huge for robotic surgery
Intuitive Surgical President Dave Rosa says he doesn’t get too excited by the idea of better robotic surgery graspers or more flexible wrists. Instead, Rosa identified two technological opportunities that are going to advance surgical robotics and minimally invasive...
These robotic acoustic swarms that can mute different areas of a room
A team of researchers at the University of Washington has developed robotic, shape-changing smart speakers that can deploy themselves to divide rooms into speech zones and track the positions of individual speakers. Using deep learning algorithms, the system is able...
Warehouse automation market to return to growth in 2024, says Interact Analysis
According to a recent study conducted by market intelligence firm Interact Analysis, the demand for warehouse automation will start to increase again in 2024 following a challenging year in 2023, albeit at a minimal growth rate. The post Warehouse automation market to...
Argonne Researchers Make Significant Progress in Enhancing Quantum Computing Coherence Time
Coherence stands as a pillar of effective communication, whether it is in writing, speaking or information processing. This principle extends to quantum bits, or qubits, the building blocks of quantum computing. A quantum computer could one day tackle previously...
