Where Innovation Meets Imagination
CloudMinds has unveiled the XR-1, which it describes as “one of the first intelligent 5G humanoid robots”.
CloudMinds Technology is a provider of cloud artificial intelligence architecture that makes robots and businesses smarter.
The company demonstrated its “revolutionary” XR-1 robot interact with guests at the Sprint exhibit at Mobile World Congress Los Angeles this week. [Read more…] about CloudMinds partners with Sprint to develop 5G humanoid robot
Scientists at MIT have developed a thread-like robot that can be steered using magnets and slip through the brain’s blood vessels.
The university’s website reports that, in the future, this “robotic thread” may be paired with existing endovascular technologies, enabling doctors to remotely guide the robot through a patient’s brain vessels to quickly treat blockages and lesions, such as those that occur in aneurysms and stroke.
Xuanhe Zhao, associate professor of mechanical engineering and of civil and environmental engineering at MIT, says: “Stroke is the number five cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States.

Brain Corp, a San Diego-based artificial intelligence and robotics company, has opened its new European headquarters.
Located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Brain Corp Europe will serve as a hub for operations, software development, and continuing research and development activities.
In the near term, efforts will primarily focus on providing increased support to regional partners, ensuring the successful development and sell-through of BrainOS-powered robots. [Read more…] about Brain Corp expands global presence with opening of European headquarters

Industrial robots like the ones that assemble Tesla vehicles or Nokia’s 5G base stations are a sight to behold.
They’re critical for manufacturing automation and lead to improved product quality, shorter cycle times, and decreased production costs.
So, it’s no surprise that the global industrial robotics market is expected to reach a whopping $97.41 billion by 2026 as investments in this technology ramp up. [Read more…] about A new type of robotic ‘brain’ could transform modern factories
Brain Corp, an artificial intelligence company specializing in the development of self-driving technology for robots, has raised $114 million in a Series C funding round led by the SoftBank Vision Fund.
Brain has developed AI and self-driving technology to enable robots to perceive their environment, learn to control their motion, and navigate using visual cues and landmarks while avoiding people and obstacles.
The investment will be used to further develop AI technology and create brains for multiple types of commercial and consumer robots. [Read more…] about Brain Corp raises $114 million to develop self-driving technology for robots
For the first time a “tipping point” molecular link between the blood sugar glucose and Alzheimer’s disease has been established by scientists, who have shown that excess glucose damages a vital enzyme involved with inflammation response to the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
Abnormally high blood sugar levels, or hyperglycaemia, is well-known as a characteristic of diabetes and obesity, but its link to Alzheimer’s disease is less familiar.
Diabetes patients have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease compared to healthy individuals. In Alzheimer’s disease abnormal proteins aggregate to form plaques and tangles in the brain which progressively damage the brain and lead to severe cognitive decline. [Read more…] about Sugar’s ‘tipping point’ link to Alzheimer’s disease revealed
Company backed by SoftBank says it has switched from artificial intelligence to cloud intelligence
A Chinese company called CloudMinds says it has created what it says is a “cloud intelligence ecosystem” for robotics.
CloudMinds specialises in the research, development and manufacturing of cloud intelligence-based applications.
It has several investors, including SoftBank Group, the Japanese multinational telecommunications and Internet firm. [Read more…] about Chinese robot maker CloudMinds creates robots based on cloud intelligence
MedicalNewsToday.com: New research shows microscopic images of synapses expand with daytime stimulation and shrink with sleep, thus resetting the brain for the next day.
Professor Alois Knoll, co-ordinator of the European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development (Echord), and one of the key scientists involved in the $1.5 billion-dollar Human Brain Project, speaks exclusively to Robotics and Automation News
It’s not every day you learn a new word you like. From my point of view, having been in journalism longer than I’d like to recall, it’s an interesting experience to be reminded of an extract from a biography of Dr Samuel Johnson, “father of the English dictionary”, written by James Boswell in 1791, which I read in my teens.
Nothing specific from what I read applies here, but I’ll paraphrase a quote from Johnson which I think may be most appropriate. “A writer only begins an article. A reader finishes it.” [Read more…] about Billion dollar brain: Exclusive interview with Professor Alois Knoll
