How Amazon Astro moves through its environment
Amazon recently detailed how Astro, the company’s multi-purpose home robot, can navigate through its environment with limited onboard computational capabilities. Astro’s sensor field of view and onboard computational capabilities aren’t nearly as powerful as other...
MIT researchers create algorithm to stop drones from colliding midair
A research team from MIT created a trajectory-planning system called Robust MADER that can allow drones working together in the same airspace to pick safe paths forward without crashing into each other. The algorithm is an updated version of MADER, a 2020 project that...
Using Quantum Fluctuations to Generate Random Numbers Faster
A team of physicists from Ghent University—Interuniversity Microelectronics Center, Technical University of Denmark and Politecnico & Università di Bari, reports that it is possible to use quantum fluctuations to generate random numbers faster than standard...
How to Overcome Noise in Quantum Computations
Researchers Ludovico Lami (QuSoft and IoP, University of Amsterdam) and Mark M. Wilde (Cornell) have made significant progress in quantum computing by deriving a formula that predicts the effects of environmental noise. This is crucial for designing and building...
Will Fluxonium Qubits Join the Crowded Race for Effective Qubits?
Currently there are many qubit types under development. One that’s received relatively little notice is the fluxonium qubit. It’s a less well-studied cousin of the transmon superconducting qubit being developed by IBM, Google, Rigetti and others. The post Will...
Computer Simulations Unveil Promising Mechanisms for Future Oral Drug Delivery Solutions
There is a need for new drugs. For example, many of the antibiotics that we have been using for a long time are becoming less effective. Chemists and pharmaceutical scientists are frantically searching for new active substances, especially those that can penetrate...
Over 150,000 picking robots to be installed by 2030
Interact Analysis expects annual shipments will jump from less than 2,000 in 2022, to just above 50,000 by the end of the decade. The post Over 150,000 picking robots to be installed by 2030 appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
Microsoft, Siemens to drive industrial productivity with generative AI
Siemens and Microsoft are harnessing the collaborative power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help industrial companies drive innovation and efficiency across the design, engineering, manufacturing and operational lifecycle of products. At Hannover Messe,...
