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...
Miso Robotics and Cali Group open automated restaurant
Miso Robotics, a developer of AI-powered cooking robots, is teaming up with Cali Group and PopID. The companies are launching an automated restaurant in Pasadena, Calif. Miso’s line of robotic cooks will be automating all of the cooking at CaliExpress. Miso plans to...
Computer Simulations Reveal New Information About Key Protein’s Role in Treatment of Heart, Kidney and Other Diseases
If you think of the human body as consisting of a team of organs that plays against a defense of diseases, then the AT1 receptor is a key player — especially when it comes to attacks on the heart and kidneys. To better understand this protein’s role, researchers from...
Researchers Turn an Atomic Microscope into a Quantum Computer
The strange world of qubit types and quantum computing approaches keeps growing. A team of researchers from Center for Quantum Nanoscience, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Korea, report this Month in Science performing quantum calculations by dragging the tip of a...
Human Brain Project Delivered Impressive Research Results
From November 21-24, the final Human Brain Project (HBP) review was held in Brussels, during which members of the HBP consortium presented the final project results to a panel of external scientific experts. The scope of this review was the final phase of the HBP,...
Meet the artist training Spot robots to make their own art
Agnieszka Pilat, an artist finding innovative ways to fuse art and technology, plans to spend the next four months training three Boston Dynamics Spot quadrupeds to create art autonomously. Starting Dec. 3, Pilat’s show, called Heterobata, is on display at the...
Analyst Panel Says Take the Quantum Computing Plunge Now…
Should you start exploring quantum computing? Yes, said a panel of analysts convened at Tabor Communications HPC and AI on Wall Street conference earlier this year. The post Analyst Panel Says Take the Quantum Computing Plunge Now… appeared first on HPCwire.
