5G / ML Robotics ‘Platforms’ Have Arrived, But Engineering Shortages Remain a Challenge
Technology providers such as Qualcomm are offering robotics development 'platforms' that incorporate ML and 5G enablers. But development platforms alone are not enough to drive robotics innovation forward, at least not until the supply robotics engineering talent...
What’s So Great About Quantum Computing? A Q&A with NIST Theorist Alexey Gorshkov
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) public affairs specialist Chad Boutin interviewed Alexey Gorshkov, a NIST theorist at NIST/University of Maryland’s Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) and Joint Quantum Institute, who...
Edge ML and Robotics Critical for Digitalization and Industrial Automation Initiatives
Edge ML and robotics technologies are critical enablers for ongoing digitalization and automation efforts. Also required?... robust development platforms (hardware and software) that speed and simplify robotics development and deployment. The post Edge ML and Robotics...
The importance of data visualization in robotics
When we think about robotics development, we often imagine a logical and codified process. While we don’t assume it to be easy or straightforward, we do assume it to be relatively objective – the end goal is obvious, the milestones to reach it measurable. The post...
Are farmers ready for autonomous tractors?
In 2020, the world agricultural robotics market was worth $4.9 billion. It’s expected to grow to $11.9 billion by 2026, according to Markets and Markets. The post Are farmers ready for autonomous tractors? appeared first on The Robot Report.
TACC Supercomputer Tackles El Niño Variability
The El Niño climate pattern, when it occurs, presents as warmer-than-usual water in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean. The changes in temperature and rainfall that ensue from this warmer water can affect natural disasters, crop yields and even the...
Physicists Work To Shrink Microchips with First One-Dimensional Helium Model System
Microchips are everywhere, running computers and cars, and even helping people find lost pets. As microchips grow smaller, faster and capable of doing more things, the wires that conduct electricity to them must follow suit. But there’s a physical limit to how small...
Syslogic releases AI Rugged Computer for agricultural applications
Syslogic’s new AI Rugged Computer RPC RSL A3 E2 is designed to be suitable for implementing innovative agricultural applications. The device is based on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial and is specifically designed for computer vision applications in...
Festo introduces pneumatic cobot arm
The cobot uses six pneumatic direct drives, instead of the typical electric motors and mechanical transmission, to move. Each of the six drives consists of a circular chamber with a moveable partition. Differences in air pressure on either side of the partition wall...
Using Supercomputers to Solve High Energy Physics Mysteries
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Columbia University, the University of Connecticut, University of Edinburgh, Regensburg University, and the University of Southampton are seeking answers to physics mysteries at the highest energies and shortest distances....
NSF: ‘Navigating the Seismic Shift of Post-Moore Computer Systems Design’
While the HPC community is certainly aware of the shifting HPC technology landscape, it is worthwhile to occasionally take stock of how the overall changes are driving future architecture. Towards the end of last year, the National Science Foundation authored a paper...
Harvard and QuEra Collaborators Observe Quantum Speed-Up in Optimization Problems
A collaboration between Harvard University with scientists at QuEra Computing, MIT, University of Innsbruck and other institutions has demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum processors to solve problems of practical use. The work led by...
