Hyperscalers have recently made big moves to secure enough power for their data centers. While renewable sources are preferable, there is not enough capacity to feed the next generation of “AI datacenters” on the drawing board.  Using fossil fuels is possible but not...

A funny thing happened on the way to the AI promised land: People realized they need data. In fact, they realized they need large quantities of a wide variety of data, and that it would be better if it was fresh, trusted, and accurate. In other words, people realized...

Automated mobile robotics is the obvious answer to increased consumer demand and continuing labor shortages today. So, why haven’t AMRs “crossed the chasm” into mass adoption? Or, put even more simply: What aren’t you selling more robots? The post 3 reasons mobile...

Doubt is creeping into discussion over generative AI, as industry analysts begin to publicly question whether the huge investments in GenAI will ever pay off. The lack of a “killer app” besides coding co-pilots and chatbots is the most pressing concern, critics in a...

Md Murad Hossain Khondaker and Mostafa Momen recently published their study titled Improving hurricane intensity and streamflow forecasts in coupled hydro-meteorological simulations by analyzing precipitation and boundary layer schemes in the American Meteorological...

The general consensus that AI would “change everything” is proving to be correct when it comes to infrastructure impacts. The new imperative is to raise and maintain operational standards to avoid inevitable outages caused by adding AI to existing infrastructure....

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China said they have developed a soft robotic “finger” with a sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, including taking a patient’s pulse and checking for abnormal lumps. The post...

Sales of professional service robots have increased by 30% worldwide, according to the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. The Frankfurt, Germany-based organization said that its statistics department registered more than 205,000 units in 2023. The post...

A Google-led team of researchers have presented more evidence that it’s possible to run productive circuits on today’s near-term intermediate scale quantum devices that are beyond the reach of classical computing. The post Google Reports Progress on Quantum Devices...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Vanderbilt University are pioneering a new approach to prostate cancer surgery by combining advanced robotics and “low-field” MRI technology. The post Researchers combine robotics, MRI tech for new approach to...

Harnessing the power artificial intelligence (AI) and the world’s fastest supercomputers, a research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed an innovative computing framework to speed up the design of new proteins....

Robot Utility Models, or RUM for short, are a new area of research and development for the advancement of AI training for robotics. RUM was created by Lerrel Pinto, an assistant professor of computer science, and a team at at New York University. This open-source...
