New robotic farm hand inoculates dairy cows
The Robot Report attended the 2022 World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. The annual event is affectionately known locally as the “Farm Show,” and offers agriculture-related vendors the opportunity to demonstrate their solutions to prospective buyers. The event is so...
TACC Supercomputer Powers Carbon Capture Simulations
As climate change continues to accelerate, many scientists are increasingly worried that the world will not be able to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels quickly enough to meaningfully avert worst-case scenarios. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, which...
Researchers create new learning model for prosthetic limbs
Researchers at Shenyang University of Technology and the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo are trying to figure out how to make prosthetic hands respond to arm movements. The post Researchers create new learning model for prosthetic limbs appeared first on...
LUMI Supercomputer Aids in Nordic Climate Modeling
EOSC-Nordic, the Nordic and Baltic coordinator of the European Open Science Cloud is running calculations on the new pre-exascale supercomputer, LUMI, through one of the chosen Norwegian pilot projects for the new HPC system in Finland. The post LUMI Supercomputer...
New tactile sensor helps robots handle delicate objects
Melexis announced Tactaxis, a fully integrated tactile sensor. The company said the sensor can provide robots with a sense of touch. The post New tactile sensor helps robots handle delicate objects appeared first on The Robot Report.
Tiny Chips Cause Giant Error Correction Challenges
It’s no secret that finding and correcting errors in modern computer chips is an ever-growing problem. An article published this week in the New York Times (NYT) – Tiny Chips, Big Headaches – suggests the challenge is reaching critical proportion. While not especially...
IonQ, Duke Report Multi-Qubit Gate Advance for Quantum Computing
Duke University and IonQ researchers today reported developing a powerful new approach to executing multi-qubit entanglement gates that “can dramatically simplify quantum circuit structures, speed up their execution, and extend the power of quantum computer systems...
Supercomputing Enables Analysis of Massive Atmospheric Science Datasets
On March 1, 2002, European researchers looked to the sky as the Envisat satellite mission began. Envisat hosted nine instruments designed to gather information about the Earth’s atmosphere in unprecedented detail. The satellite continued to send data back to Earth...
AWS-Powered Research Identifies 130,000+ New RNA Viruses
Beyond the immediate investigations surrounding new variants and pharmaceuticals, the Covid-19 pandemic is raising the profile of another crucial, anxiety-inducing question: where will the next pandemic come from, and how can we be better-prepared? As Covid took hold,...
Researchers enable robot to manipulate dough
Imagine a pizza maker working with a ball of dough. She might use a spatula to lift the dough onto a cutting board then use a rolling pin to flatten it into a circle. Easy, right? Not if this pizza maker is a robot. Editor’s Note: This article was republished from MIT...
Multi-Phase Launch of LUMI Supercomputer Promising for Solving Intricate Research Challenges
Once fully operational, LUMI is expected to be one of the world’s most efficient and environmentally friendly supercomputers. Launching LUMI is a multi-stage process: the operating environment expands as the system is commissioned. The post Multi-Phase Launch of LUMI...
