Nvidia partners with Foxconn to build factories and systems

by

Nvidia says it is collaborating with Hon Hai Technology Group – more popularly known as Foxconn – to accelerate the AI industrial revolution.

Foxconn will integrate Nvidia technology to develop a new class of data centers powering a wide range of applications – including digitalization of manufacturing and inspection workflows, development of AI-powered electric vehicle and robotics platforms, and a growing number of language-based generative AI services.

Announced during a “fireside chat” between Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang and Foxconn chairman and CEO Young Liu at Hon Hai Tech Day, in Taipei, Taiwan, the collaboration starts with the creation of AI factories – an Nvidia GPU computing infrastructure specially built for processing, refining and transforming vast amounts of data into valuable AI models and tokens – based on the Nvidia accelerated computing platform, including the latest Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and Nvidia AI Enterprise software.

Rivelin Robotics CEO hails Hardware as a Service as ‘transformative concept’

by

By Robert Bush, CEO, Rivelin Robotics

Across the ever-evolving landscape of technology and business, Hardware as a Service (HaaS) is proving to be a transformative concept. The world at large has become familiar and comfortable with software delivered as a service commodity via subscription model both for professional organisations and individuals.

This has laid the foundation for a similar approach to hardware service contracts, which are increasingly being viewed as a savvy way to scale up in-house capabilities without huge capital expenditure.

This innovative approach to managing hardware needs is changing the way many manufacturing organisations handle their hardware portfolios and associated service contracts. [Read more…] about Rivelin Robotics CEO hails Hardware as a Service as ‘transformative concept’

Deep Robotics launches new quadruped robot

by

Deep Robotics, a developer of quadrupedal robots, has launched its X30 quadruped robot, a “flagship product” designed to meet core industry needs in multiple fields, including inspection of power stations, factories, pipeline corridors, emergency rescue, fire detection, scientific research and more.

X30 incorporates Deep Robotics’ “unique fusion perception technology that enables it to rapidly traverse obstacles, navigate open riser industrial stairs in challenging, changing environments, conduct autonomous inspection day and night in any weather, and overcome other difficulties in an ever-growing number of scenarios”.

X30 is also able to respond quickly to unexpected situations or handle tasks at a moment’s notice. Compared to earlier editions of the quadruped robot, the operating temperature range of X30 has been extended to between minus 20°C and plus 55°C, greatly broadening the environment and climatic conditions in which it can operate.
