Boston Dynamics announced the latest upgrades for its popular quadruped robot Spot. The upgrades include faster charging times, more payloads and support for 5G connectivity. Boston Dynamics has added additional payloads to the quadruped to help it operate in more...

Microsoft’s Singularity is a response to the computational costs of training deep learning workloads—costs that have quickly spiraled as those workloads have grown in size, complexity and number. It is also an attempt to maximize the use of idle time, which has...

SupermarQ is a suite of benchmarks that measure a machine’s performance on a range of applications. These applications mirror real-world problems in a variety of domains such as finance, chemistry, energy, and encryption. The post Super.tech Releases SupermarQ – A New...

Many of nature’s best jumpers have long limbs and extended joints that help them propel themselves into the air by producing great amounts of kinetic energy in the stroke of a muscle. Many robotic jumpers are designed to work this same way, but researchers at the...

Advances in quantum science have the potential to revolutionize the way we live. Quantum computers hold promise for solving problems that are intractable today, and we may one day use quantum networks as hackerproof information highways. The post Researchers Develop...

Permafrost covers more than 10 percent of the planet and stores vast amounts of carbon in frozen soil, making it a crucial—and dangerous—carbon sink. Understanding how (and why) permafrost is changing with the climate is critical to estimating (and mitigating) carbon...

Researchers say we’re on the cusp of “GoPro physics,” where a camera can point at an event and an algorithm can identify the underlying physics equation.Source: ‘Machine Scientists’ Distill the Laws of Physics From Raw Data | Quanta Magazine

Comau is expanding its product portfolio with the N-220-2.7 (N-220), a 220 kg payload robot featuring a modular set up, direct kinematics, absolute calibration and enhanced algorithms. These characteristics deliver ease of use, straightforward integration and faster...

High-performance computing, or supercomputing, combined with new data-science approaches such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) give scientists the ability to explore phenomena at levels of detail that would otherwise be impossible or impractical....

A research team led by Dr. Gustavo Medina Tanco from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will launch five mirco-robots to the moon this year on-board the Peregrine Lunar Lander. The post UNAM researchers to send micro-robots to the moon appeared first...

Researchers at the Imperial College London have created a malleable robotic arm. The arm can be guided into shape manually, using mixed reality smart glasses and through motion tracking cameras to ensure precise positioning.  The post AR helps researchers twist...

Love it or hate it, improv — though it may appear random — is often more purposeful and patterned than it may seem. And, improbable as it may seem, supercomputing is at play here, too: a team of Penn State-led researchers applied the university’s Roar supercomputer to...
