If you are in the business of developing and selling applications for a wide variety of platforms, you may have encountered a number of challenges.
Apart from funding the project, there is also the issue of setting up systems that ensure the quality of the final product.
App development is complicated as it is, but it shouldn’t be costly and time-consuming if the end result is half-baked. [Read more…] about How to Streamline Your App Development Workflow
Some of the most controversial network security breaches have been widely published in conventional media as well as on the internet. These security breaches usually resulted in third-party intruders and hackers gaining access to the private and confidential data of a business organization’s users or clients.
Network security breaches as well as rising costs of keeping their in-house Information Technology (IT) support team have led numerous businesses to consult with TCG and IT companies on their network administration options. [Read more…] about Why You Should Consider Outsourcing Your IT Support

Columbia Engineering researchers use AI to teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers. (See video below.)
While our facial expressions play a huge role in building trust, most robots still sport the blank and static visage of a professional poker player.
With the increasing use of robots in locations where robots and humans need to work closely together, from nursing homes to warehouses and factories, the need for a more responsive, facially realistic robot is growing more urgent.

TerraClear, an applied AI and robotics company, announced Series A funding of $25 million led by Madrona Venture Group, bringing the company’s total funding to $38 million. Rocks in fields break machinery, slow precision farming, and take up valuable time that modern farms do not have.
TerraClear’s Rock Picker picks an average of 400 rocks per hour and can pick up rocks of up to 300 pounds each.
In the past year, TerraClear has deployed early versions of their solution that both map and clear fields of rocks. These rocks not only break the backs of those picking them up, but break increasingly expensive precision machinery that is in common use by farmers for planting, irrigating and harvesting.
