ABB Robotics has launched its High Speed Alignment software that enables users to increase the speed of 6-axis robots by 70% and accuracy by 50%, reducing time-to-market while increasing accuracy levels. The software is compatible with ABB’s IRB 1100 and IRB 120...
Report: 5 Reasons US Government Agencies Should Increase HPC Investment
A new Hyperion Research opinion paper, sponsored by Dell Technologies and AMD, recommends that the US government increase its investment in high-performance computing (HPC), also known as supercomputing. The paper, titled “To Out-compute is to Out-compete: Competitive...
Google researchers teach robots to learn by watching
Roboticists usually teach robots new tasks by remotely operating them through performing a task. The robot then imitates the demonstration until it can perform the task on its own. The post Google researchers teach robots to learn by watching appeared first on The...
