Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Yaskawa has introduced a new robotic work cell developed in partnership with Motoman and Universal Robotics.
Yaskawa says the Neocortex Goods to Robot Cell is a “complete, pre-engineered adaptive picking solution”.
The system is the result of a collaboration between Yaskawa America, Motoman Robotics Division and Universal Robotics. [Read more…] about Yaskawa showcases Neocortex robotic work cell for material handling

How do we move forward in a world where Moore’s Law no longer holds true? For five decades, Gordon Moore’s famous prediction about processing power doubling about every two years held firm.
It was a reliable sort of constant as innovators continued to increase the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits.
But all good things must come to an end, and Moore’s Law has been confounded by another, more immutable law: physics. [Read more…] about Beyond Moore’s Law: Human-plus-machine computing
Daimler – the parent company of Mercedes-Benz – is placing artificial intelligence at the centre of its plans going forward, says its head of research, Anke Kleinshmit, at the company’s Future Talk conference
How is artificial intelligence influencing tomorrow’s mobility? How can we use its ideas today? How intelligent will the car of the future be? And above all: what role will people play in this?
These were the central questions discussed by Mercedes-Benz experts at the fourth Future Talk in Berlin in dialogue with scientists, engineers and journalists. In the past few years the Mercedes-Benz Future Talk has dealt with the subjects of utopia, robotics and virtuality. This time, the focus was on the integration of artificial intelligence in the field of mobility and the interaction of humans and machines.
Already in the 1960s researchers expected a major breakthrough in the development and application of artificial intelligence, but the human world still proved too complex for digital computers. However, due to the triumph of the internet, the mass of data that has become available with this and the huge increase in computing power of today’s computers, artificial intelligence is now entering people’s lives and also offers big opportunities and potential for the future of the automobile.

Audi has opened what it calls a “smart factory”, in Mexico, the first such plant opened by a leading automaker in that country.
Professor Rupert Stadler, chairman of Audi, says: “The plant in Mexico is a milestone in the history of our company and an important step in our internationalization.
“It is one of the most modern factories on the American continent. With this facility, we have established an important site for the export of our automobiles to customers all over the world.” [Read more…] about Audi smart factory ushers in new era of manufacturing
AImotive – formerly known as AdasWorks – claims to be the first to enable an artificial intelligence ecosystem for autonomous driving regardless of location, driving style or driving conditions
AImotive has launched what it says is a “full stack technology solution and the most powerful artificial intelligence software” for the automotive industry, designed to provide self-driving vehicles better safety, improved comfort and increased productivity.
AImotive used to be called AdasWorks, and the new name reflects the broader vision to “bring global accessibility to self-driving vehicles, faster and safer than any other company in the world”.
The AImotive product suite delivers the robust technology required to operate self-driving vehicles in all conditions, and adapts in real-time to different driving styles and cultures, says the company.

Artificial intelligence systems can predict election results better than traditional pollsters, according to a report on em360tech.com.
Artificial intelligence systems predicted a win for Donald Trump, of the Republican Party, over Hillary Clinton, of the Democrats, in the US presidential elections held yesterday.
Most traditional opinion pollsters rely on directly asking people about their voting intentions and behaviour. [Read more…] about AI knew Trump would win

BMW has unveiled a new concept for its Mini model as part of its “Vision Next 100” project to steer the company into the future.
The new Mini Cooperizer is designed as a computerized, electric, connected, and autonomous car, which is meant as part of the company’s own ride-sharing scheme.
BMW plans to locate Minis all over a town for people to hire as and when they want through its app. [Read more…] about BMW reveals new autonomous Mini concept
Tata Elxsi, a software division of the industrial giant Tata, says it has developed an integrated test automation and monitoring system which now incorporates artificial intelligence.
The company adds that FalconEye 2.0 suite for test, workflow and monitoring automation now includes “a host of new and industry-first features”.
This includes a new artificial intelligence engine, focusing on improving the test coverage and optimizing stability testing scenarios.
One of the things it can do is simultaneously test and monitor hundreds of television channels in realtime. [Read more…] about Tata claims its AI system monitors hundreds of TV channels simultaneously in realtime
