IDS has established a new research and development facility in Serbia.

The industrial camera manufacturer says it is investing in new technologies and has expanded its team of experts in artificial intelligence.

Since July 2020, IDS Imaging Development Systems has been represented in Serbia with its own subsidiary.

Based in Novi Sad, Serbia’s second largest city and considered the country’s technological centre, the pure development unit is closely linked to the Faculty of Technical Sciences of the local university. [Read more…] about IDS establishes new research and development facility in Serbia

Robust AI raises $22.5 million to build ‘world’s first’ industrial-grade cognitive engine for robotics

by Leave a Comment

Robust.ai, the company pioneering an industrial grade cognitive engine for robots, announced today the close of a $15 million Series A investment round, taking the company’s total funding to date to $22.5 million.

JAZZ Venture Partners led the Series A round and was joined by previous investors Playground Global, Liquid2, Fontinalis, Jaan Tallinn and Mark Leslie. Esther Dyson, Steve Blank and Tim O’Reilly are also angel investors in Robust.ai.

Historically, robots have largely been confined to highly predictable environments; Robust aims to change that by creating a new cognitively-driven AI platform that gives robots the problem-solving capabilities they need to work alongside humans in dynamic, open-ended environments, vastly increasing their potential in complex public spaces.

What is the Effect of Artificial Intelligence on VPN Technology?

by Leave a Comment

Anyone who has reservations about their privacy online due to various issues has likely already used VPN services in one way or another. The use of a virtual private network ensures that your connection to the Internet is secure no matter where you are.

While the use of a VPN might feel like people are going overboard with their privacy issues, there are legitimate reasons to worry.

For example, the use of popular VPN services such as those found in the top10.com/vpn/reviews/zenmate ensures that you do not have to worry about shady individuals taking advantage of your connection. [Read more…] about What is the Effect of Artificial Intelligence on VPN Technology?

New electronic skin developed to make robots ‘feel pain’

by Leave a Comment

Scientists at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have developed a new type of “electronic skin” that could make robots and other machines more sensitive to touch and contact.

The researchers say their “pain-sensing” prototype mimics the human body’s near-instant feedback response and reacts to painful sensations with the same lighting speed that nerve signals travel to the brain.

Lead researcher Professor Madhu Bhaskaran says the prototype e-skin is a “significant advance” towards next-generation biomedical technologies and intelligent robotics. [Read more…] about New electronic skin developed to make robots ‘feel pain’

Fugro working with Australian Space Agency on new robotics control complex

by Leave a Comment

The Australian government’s newly formed Australian Space Agency (ASA) has partnered with Fugro to design, build and operate the Australian Space Automation, Artificial intelligence and Robotics Control Complex (SpAARC) in Western Australia.

Benefitting from additional funding support from the WA State Government, the new complex will support start-ups, small businesses and researchers in controlling robotics activities in space, including servicing satellites in orbit.

The ASA selected Fugro in Australia on the basis of their track record in cutting-edge remote operations and robotics control in harsh marine environments, which demonstrates their robust robotics control capability via satellite communications.

Heraeus and Aachen University develop ‘fastest-ever’ artificial synapses

by Leave a Comment

The boffins say that the secret is ‘foreign atoms in the oxide layer’ which have so far gone unnoticed by experts

Scientists and researchers from the materials science-oriented technology group Heraeus and the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance have developed what they describe as “artificial synapses” similar to the ones found in the human brain.

The collective of brainboxes say that their discovery could be useful in the development of branches of artificial intelligence, such as machine learning and deep learning.

The boffins discovered how the switching properties of artificial synapses can be specifically influenced. [Read more…] about Heraeus and Aachen University develop ‘fastest-ever’ artificial synapses
