IntuiCell unveils ‘world’s first’ digital intelligence that learns like a human brain

by

IntuiCell, a Nordic deep-tech startup at the forefront of blending neuroscience and AI innovation, is announcing a world-first scientific and technological milestone: the development of digital intelligence capable of real-world, real-time learning.

This breakthrough by Intuicell, a spin-out of Sweden’s Lund University, marks a paradigm shift in its field: moving beyond static machine learning models (the mainstay of traditional AI) to a fully functional “digital nervous system” capable of scaling naturally to human-level intelligence.

Earlier this month, IntuiCell released the first video footage of an off-the-shelf robot quadruped (with no pre-programmed intelligence or instructions) which the company has augmented with a digital nervous system.

Tesollo unveils ‘high-performance’ humanoid robot hand

by

Tesollo, a South Korea-based specialist in robotic grippers, has launched its latest innovation, the Delto Gripper-5 Finger (DG-5F), further solidifying its competitive edge in the robotics market.

Set to go on sale in March, the DG-5F has already garnered significant attention at major exhibitions, including RoboWorld 2024, Korea’s largest robotics expo, and CES 2025, held this past January in the United States.

DG-5F boasts 20 degrees of freedom (DoF), with each of its five fingers independently operating with four joints, allowing for an exceptional level of dexterity, closely mimicking the human hand. [Read more…] about Tesollo unveils ‘high-performance’ humanoid robot hand

Autonomous vehicle accident: Who is at fault and how a car accident lawyer can help

by

Autonomous vehicles, or AVs, have completely changed the way we think about transportation.

They are at the cutting edge of technological innovation and has the potential to reduce human error and increase road safety, but accidents involving AVs still happen, which begs the difficult question of who is at fault in a crash involving an AV.

The Complicated Fault System in AV Mishaps

The dynamics of AV accidents involve a multitude of factors, in contrast to traditional auto accidents where fault is usually attributed to one or more human drivers. [Read more…] about Autonomous vehicle accident: Who is at fault and how a car accident lawyer can help

AI-generated images: Is this the future of art?

by

Dictionary definitions of “art” are many and varied, but for people of a certain age – let’s say around 60 – art used to mean paintings and sculptures… pretty much exclusively.

But over those 60 years – starting around 30 years ago – art started to mean different things, although those “different” artistic expressions still often incorporated the traditional modes of expression – painting and sculpting.

One of those “different” things that came to constitute art was “installation art”, which is usually a relatively large-scale work – taking up one whole gallery room or more. Installation art uses mixed media to create an immersive experience for people to walk through and perhaps interact with or even be an essential part of.

Striking a Balance for Meaningful Connection in the Digital Age

by

In an age where instant messages zip across continents and virtual meetings bring global teams face-to-face, technology has woven an unprecedented tapestry of connectivity.

Yet, amidst this digital abundance, a curious paradox emerges: a yearning for the very human touch that technology seems to supplant. The paradox extends beyond personal relationships, permeating every aspect of our lives.

The paradox can be addressed through various powerful communication tools, such as an email signature builder and AI writing tools. They support efforts to maintain a personal touch in professional communication. [Read more…] about Striking a Balance for Meaningful Connection in the Digital Age

3D printed organs set to become ‘reality in two decades’

by

Biotech firms are making progress in developing 3D-printed organs, with recent breakthroughs aiding the production of increasingly intricate tissues. Companies like Vital3D are tackling the challenge with cutting-edge technology, and seeing remarkable results.

In recent years, 3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology for the field of organ transplantation. Doctors are already using 3D-printed skin for burn treatment and wound healing, and this year has seen the first successful use of 3D-printed cartilage for ear reconstruction.

Now, amidst rising demand for organ transplants and a dire shortage of donor organs worldwide, researchers are working toward using 3D printing to produce even more complex structures, like livers, hearts, and kidneys. [Read more…] about 3D printed organs set to become ‘reality in two decades’
