CERN’s LHC Experiments Increase Use of GPUs to Improve Computing Infrastructure
Analyzing as many as one billion proton collisions per second or tens of thousands of very complex lead collisions is not an easy job for a traditional computer farm. With the latest upgrades of the LHC experiments due to come into action next year, their demand for...
Supercomputing, Paper Cutting Underpin Stretchable Electronics Research
Some wearable electronics—like sensors sewn into fabrics, or applicable “skins”—rely on the development of new, durable, stretchable electronic materials. One way to enhance the elasticity of these often-delicate materials is by introducing strategic cuts into them,...
How a box manufacturer tackled labor issues with robotics
Antoine Bruno, general manager and president, said Alliora had wanted to add automation to its production lines for a while. Unfortunately, its first experience was difficult. Industrial robots were too complex. The company bought one, but it was never able to get it...
How 11 cobots help assemble the Fiat 500 electric car
Stellantis N.V. is a Dutch multinational automobile manufacturer established through a merger between PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The company installed 11 collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots (UR) at its Mirafiori factory in Turin, Italy, to automate...
A look back at the Mars 2020 landing
February 18, 2022 marked one earth year (354 Martian sols) for the Mars Perseverance Rover and Ingenuity Helicopter on the surface of the red planet. Over the last year, the Mars 2020 mission has hit a number of milestones, including the first autonomous helicopter...
Smart Radar Critical for Improving Autonomous Vehicle Perception
Improving radar resolution has traditionally been based on a hardware advancements which significantly increase the cost, size, and power consumption of the sensors. But radar solutions empowered by (constantly improving) machine learning software, can deliver high...
