Supercomputing remains largely an on-premise affair for many reasons that include horsepower, security, and system management. Companies need more time to move workloads to the cloud, but the options are increasing. (See the recently posted HPC-AI forecast from...

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has allocated supercomputer access to a record-breaking 75 computational science projects for 2024 through its Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program. DOE is awarding 60% of...

Microsoft and Rockwell Automation have announced an expanded partnership to leverage Generative AI capabilities for enhanced productivity and faster time-to-market. The first outcome of this collaboration will be adding Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service into...

Scientists have made an important step toward developing computers advanced enough to simulate complex natural phenomena at the quantum level. While these types of simulations are too cumbersome or outright impossible for classical computers to handle, photonics-based...

Searching and selecting a motor for a specific application can often be a challenging task, as there are many potential factors that must be taken into consideration. These include the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency,...

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a patent-pending vision method that improves on traditional machine vision and perception. The system, called HADAR or heat-assisted detection and ranging, allows robots to see in the dark the same as they can in...

An MIT research team has developed an AI technique that allows robots to manipulate objects with their entire hand or body, instead of just their fingertips.  The post MIT researchers help robots use their whole body to manipulate objects appeared first on The Robot...

Navigating the complexities of scientific research often involves juggling large data sets, multiple tools, and specialized software–especially in the realm of high performance computing (HPC). In an environment where the lack of reproducibility in scientific studies...

Predicting extreme weather events allows governments to issue safety announcements and warnings and arrange evacuations. As a result, thousands of lives can be saved. Thankfully, extreme weather events don’t happen very often, although the US is one of the most...

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a powerful open-source platform for robotics research, but until recently it lacked industrial-quality hardware that is tightly integrated with the ROS software stack. Robot equipment manufacturers use proprietary, closed-source...

The age of humanoids is just around the corner. Humanoids are a subset of robotics that feature a bipedal (two legs) design, functional arms and “hands,” a torso and a head. It’s not necessary for these robots to recreate human hands and fingers, but rather to be able...

Here are five papers from the Quantum Science Center (ORNL), Intel, the University of Science and Technology of China, the Quantum Information Sciences Section (ORNL) and University College Dublin that tackle the topics above. All were posted to arXiv in July. The...
