How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries

by Leave a Comment

A 3D rendering service can take your designs and turn them into 3D renders. This may not seem impressive when can probably render your own 3D models on your computer.

However, if your model has many intricate parts, if it is highly detailed, or even if it is a model with many layers and features, it can take quite a while for your computer to create the model.

This is especially true if there is lots of detail on the model and lots of calculations that need to be done. Added to which, your company may require several thousand renders take place per day. If this is the case, then hiring an outside company to do your 3D rendering is downright essential. [Read more…] about How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries

MIT demonstrates reprogrammable materials that ‘selectively self-assemble’

by Leave a Comment

By Rachel Gordon, MIT CSAIL

While automated manufacturing is ubiquitous today, it was once a nascent field birthed by inventors such as Oliver Evans, who is credited with creating the first fully automated industrial process, in a flour mill he built and gradually automated in the late 1700s.

The processes for creating automated structures or machines are still very top-down, requiring humans, factories, or robots to do the assembling and making.

However, the way nature does assembly is ubiquitously bottom-up; animals and plants are self-assembled at a cellular level, relying on proteins to self-fold into target geometries that encode all the different functions that keep us ticking.

Soft assistive robotic wearables get a boost from rapid design tool

by Leave a Comment

Scientists created a new design and fabrication tool for soft pneumatic actuators with integrated sensing, which can power personalized healthcare, smart homes, and gaming.

Soft, pneumatic actuators might not be a phrase that comes up in daily conversations, but more likely than not you might have benefited from their utility. The devices use compressed air to power motion, and with sensing capabilities, they’ve proven to be a critical backbone in a variety of applications such as assistive wearables, robotics, and rehabilitative technologies.

But there’s a bit of a bottleneck in creating the little dynamic devices that have advantages like high response rates and power to input ratios. They require a manual design and fabrication pipeline, which translates to a lot of trial and error cycles to actually test and see whether the designs will work.

Does the name Audrey Hepburn ring a bell?

Way back in 1952, it was the first computer speech recognition tool. Even though the technology was groundbreaking, the software could understand only digits.

Since then, transcription software has come a long way.

Today, transcription tools use immersive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to convert speech to text. Transcription tools can automatically record a conversation and convert that into text within a few minutes. [Read more…] about 11 Expectations in the Development of AI Transcription

How Technology is Revolutionizing the Entertainment Sector

by Leave a Comment

The benefits of the digital age can be seen more clearly in the world of entertainment than anywhere else. Technology has gone a long way to creating media for mass consumption and a lot of profit can be found no matter where you are in the industry.

Indeed, the entertainment sector currently stands at $2.2 trillion, and is expected to reach $2.6 trillion within the next 3 years!

We see this kind of saturation across multiple entertainment platforms. More streaming services than ever before, cryptocurrency fitting itself into the social media world – but what does that mean for the world of entertainment at large?

Kodiak Robotics demonstrates new safety technology for autonomous trucks

by Leave a Comment

Kodiak Robotics, a self-driving trucking company, says it has become the first company to publicly demonstrate a “fallback” system, which can autonomously pull a self-driving truck over to the side of the road in the event of a truck or system failure. (See video below.)

The ability to perform a safe, reliable fallback, otherwise known as having the vehicle assume a minimal risk condition, is critical to safely deploying driverless trucks on public roads.

Don Burnette, founder and CEO, Kodiak, says: “To launch an autonomous vehicle without a human driver, you must ensure the vehicle will protect motorists in the case of a truck or autonomous system failure. [Read more…] about Kodiak Robotics demonstrates new safety technology for autonomous trucks

Robotic Desk in Your Home

Modern living conditions have turned tables into a kind of high-tech device, literally stuffed with electronics, and has several useful functions. Thanks to modern technologies, such tables provide maximum convenience while working at it.

But not only built-in gadgets are important here, pay attention that your new piece of furniture has an adjustable desk base. If you purchase just such a table, then you will close the issue for a long time, if not forever, of course. [Read more…] about Robotic Desk in Your Home

Should you invest in Dogecoin in 2022? Things to consider

by Leave a Comment

Before deciding to buy Dogecoins, it is important to know some basic details about cryptocurrencies.

They are also known as virtual currencies or virtual coins, which means that there is no physical version of that currency, although many images depicting cryptocurrencies in metal coins are circulating on the Internet.

You have to understand cryptocurrencies as something similar to digital files that we store on a computer or in the cloud. It’s not the same, but just to give you an idea. [Read more…] about Should you invest in Dogecoin in 2022? Things to consider
