How leading countries are investing in robotics R&D
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) released its World Robotics R&D Programs 2025 report that analyzes strategies in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. While economies worldwide are increasingly investing in robotics, each government research and development...
Feeding the Virtuous Cycle of Discovery: HPC, Big Data, and AI Acceleration
Aside from making GPUs scarce and expensive (even in the cloud), these rapid changes have suggested many questions in the HPC community. The post Feeding the Virtuous Cycle of Discovery: HPC, Big Data, and AI Acceleration appeared first on HPCwire.
UC Berkeley’s AI-powered robot learns Jenga whipping
At UC Berkeley, researchers in Sergey Levine’s Robotic AI and Learning Lab eyed a table where a tower of 39 Jenga blocks stood perfectly stacked. Then a white-and-black robot, its single limb doubled over like a hunched-over giraffe, zoomed toward the tower,...
Google Quantum Lead Predicts Commercial Quantum Within 5 Years
Google expects to bring commercial quantum computing applications to market within five years, according to Hartmut Neven, Google VP of Engineering and longtime leader of its quantum research efforts. Speaking to Reuters on Wednesday, Neven’s projection contrasts with...
How Quantum Computing Could Reshape Energy Use in High-Performance Computing
Data centers are significant consumers of global electricity, with their share expected to rise in the coming years. In 2022, data centers consumed approximately 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, accounting for about 2% of global electricity usage. Projections...
