Imagine the benefits to your business of including facial recognition in a mobile app. Let’s start with this idea:
Dale Carnegie said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest, most important sound in any language.”
Envision your staff being able to recognize your most important customers’ faces immediately, then greet them by name as soon as they walked into your establishment. [Read more…] about The Advantages of Including Facial Recognition in a Mobile App
CogitAI has launched what it says is the “industry’s first self-learning, actionable artificial Intelligence”. (See interview with CogitAI CEO below.)
The company says it is “delivering on the future promise of AI”. CogitAI says its Continua software as a service self-learning AI platform.
The Continua platform has the power to turn any process, system, software bot, or real robot into a self-learning autonomous service to drive actionable business outcomes, says CogitAI. [Read more…] about Webcast: CogitAI launches ‘industry’s first self-learning, actionable artificial Intelligence’

Believe it or not, almost everyone from us is leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and deep learning in our daily life. Whether it will be in the form of Siri or you are making a query through Google-like search engines. This isn’t the kind of AI we saw in Tony Stark’s inventions, this is much more than that. This AI gives the product like Watson which helps humanity by finding a cure for diseases like cancer.
The digital spaceship is fueled by technologies like artificial intelligence and big data leading us towards the automation where most of the business operations are optimized incorporating it with machines. The technology of automation is estimated to touch $190.61 billion by the end of 2025 transforming healthcare into the manufacturing sector.

Software maker Autodesk is using machine learning and lessons learned from Lego to develop robotic systems for modular assembly in the real world.
Lego, as most people will know, is the company which makes small toy bricks and other objects which can be connected to each other in simple ways to create complex structures, such as toy houses, cars and so on.
Most adults will have played with Lego at some point in their lives, and the companies toys are still popular with today’s kids.
The Lego world has always interested other companies, some of which have copied the to create modular systems in many areas, including large-scale real building construction. [Read more…] about Autodesk uses Lego method to develop modular assembly system for real factories
There is so much talk about artificial intelligence that many people who aren’t even programmers understand some of the principles of the technology.
At the very least, most people who have an interest in these subjects have very likely heard of two of the branches of AI, namely machine learning and deep learning.
But some people, like us, might not fully understand the difference between machine learning and deep learning. [Read more…] about Artificial intelligence: The power and poise of deep learning

Simbe Robotics has integrated Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Machine Learning technology to enable its autonomous inventory robot, Tally, to capture in-store data on all RFID-tagged merchandise, from apparel to electronics, sporting goods to home decor.
In addition to its pre-existing computer vision abilities, Tally now captures over 700 RFID product tags per second with higher than 99% accuracy.
This frees shop workers from using handheld scanning devices and provides retailers with real-time insight into product availability and placement.

The unique human capabilities of curiosity, adaptability, and judgment are more important than ever before.
As intelligent machines are creeping into our world, harnessing and combining machine and human strength will lead to better results.
This holds true especially for the manufacturing and industrial sectors, as they are at an inflection point where humans and machines are learning to co-exist. [Read more…] about Opinion: 3 tips for an augmented future of work
Within every intelligent machine, such as an industrial robotic arm, there is, of course, software.
The software is what enables it to operate according to its requirements.
And as the machines get more sophisticated, so does the software. [Read more…] about Hannover Messe: A new software paradigm for industrial hardware
