Training a general-purpose robot remains a major challenge. Typically, engineers collect data that are specific to a certain robot and task, which they use to train the robot in a controlled environment. However, gathering these data is costly and time-consuming, and...

Bigwave Robotics Inc. launched its robot-as-a-service, or RaaS, model for hospitals. The Seoul, South Korea-based automation integrator said this marks a significant step toward the digital transformation of healthcare services. The program allows hospitals to assign...

Imagine a future where quantum computing is as accessible as the smartphone in your pocket. Where a quantum chip is embedded in your laptop, or thousands of quantum chips are deployed in supercomputing centres, forming the world’s most powerful quantum supercomputers....

Boston Dynamics Inc. released a new video of its Atlas humanoid robot today. The video shows the electric robot handling large automotive parts autonomously. According to the company, the robot uses machine learning to execute its tasks and 3D vision to perceive the...

MicroPort recently announced it completed six robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy procedures using its MedBot surgical robot in Angola. The post MicroPort surgical robot completes first telesurgery procedures in Africa appeared first on The Robot...

Researchers at Duke University have developed a system called SonicSense that gives robots a sense of touch by “listening” to vibrations. The researchers said this allows the robots to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects. The post SonicSense...

Citizen mathematicians are using GPUs to find the highest prime numbers based on specific computing formulas. As it turns out, it is also a good way to stress test GPUs and map progress in computing capabilities over decades. A project called the Great Internet...

Opteran’s general-purpose neuromorphic software could be heading to Mars in the coming years. The company announced that Airbus Defence and Space, with support from European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency, will test the Opteran Mind in Airbus space rovers.  The...

While U.S. companies have outsourced technology work overseas for more than 20 years, quality and political concerns have brought back design, programming, and other engineering tasks back closer to home. Robotic Crew offers staffing in Latin America for robot...

A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of...

Rapid advancements in quantum computing are bringing a new era of technological possibilities. However, as quantum technology progresses, there are growing concerns about the availability of resources—a challenge reminiscent of the recent shortage of Graphics...

Researchers from the University of Toronto have used AI to generate a “recipe” for an exciting new catalyst needed to produce green hydrogen fuel. As the effects of climate change begin to become more apparent in our everyday lives, research like this could open the...
