Leveraging GPU Cloud Servers for Improved AI Model Training

by

GPU cloud servers are high-performance computing resources designed to accelerate tasks that require substantial computational power, such as AI model training.

Unlike traditional CPU-based servers, GPU cloud servers utilize Graphics Processing Units, known for their capacity to perform parallel computations efficiently. This capability makes them ideal for AI model training, where large datasets and complex neural networks are common.

B2B businesses are increasingly turning to GPU cloud servers to enhance the speed and efficiency of AI model training. [Read more…] about Leveraging GPU Cloud Servers for Improved AI Model Training

InOrbit brings RobOps to advanced robot simulations powered by Nvidia

by

InOrbit, provider of cloud-based robot operations (RobOps) software, is collaborating with Nvidia to “blend reality and simulation in robot deployments”.

This work takes the recently launched InOrbit missions to a new level, enabling end users such as logistics providers to define missions once, execute them in both simulated and real environments, and analyze the results through a single pane of glass, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI-powered robotics technology and real-world applications at scale.

InOrbit leverages the Nvidia Isaac Sim extensible robotics simulator powered by Nvidia Omniverse to model complex environments and robot behaviors that closely match the real world. [Read more…] about InOrbit brings RobOps to advanced robot simulations powered by Nvidia

Construction automation: Promise Robotics raises $15 million Series A funding

SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS

by

Japanese robotics startup SeqSense has built autonomous security robots using Amazon Web Services and Amazon’s platform for robotics

According to Japan’s national institute of population and social security research, the working population in Japan is expected to decrease by 30 percent in the next 30 years. A rapidly aging population in Japan causes a shortage of labor in the security space.

SeqSense, a robotics startup company in Japan, aims to solve this challenge by providing autonomous security robot service. They developed an intelligent security robot SQ-2. that patrols inside buildings.

It navigates by itself using pre-created map of a floor, patrol multiple floors by communicating with elevators. Their robot has been deployed in more than 30 office buildings, shopping malls, and airports in Japan. [Read more…] about SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS

Brain Corp partners with Google Cloud to introduce analytics solution for retailers

by

Brain Corp, an artificial intelligence company creating technologies in robotics, is partnering with Google Cloud to launch “BrainOS Inventory Insights”, a new and proprietary solution able to deliver next generation in-store inventory analytics to retailers. 

Brain Corp, which already powers the largest global fleet of autonomous robots in public spaces and the world’s largest fleet of robotic inventory scanners, will now offer retail customers “a true end-to-end solution” for analyzing the inventory data collected by its BrainOS powered inventory scanning robots.

Using BrainOS Inventory Insights, retailers will be able to quickly identify out-of-stock and low stock events, assess product details such as where an item is (product location), if it’s in the correct location (planogram compliance) and ensure it’s priced correctly (​​price tag compliance).

How to Protect Your Business From Hacking

by

In this internet age, no business is unhackable. Hackers are growing at a fast pace, even as technology advances. Most of these hackers could hack into any system, and their activities can hardly be contained if measures haven’t been implemented to prevent their attacks.

You could leverage the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture and use cloud delivery solutions to prevent hackers from gaining access to your corporate system. Find out more on SASE here: https://nordlayer.com/learn/sase/what-is-sase/.

Hackers are constantly trying to exploit weak spots in websites, applications, and emails, and they build on them until they grow stronger. If we eliminate easy-to-hack spots from our websites and apps, then that will frustrate their efforts, and they will have to look elsewhere. This article will give you an edge in avoiding and preventing hackers by protecting your system. [Read more…] about How to Protect Your Business From Hacking
