How Generative AI can transform businesses

August 16, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Generative AI is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique that is used to generate new contents regarding images, text, music, or even video.

These techniques are based on deep learning models, particularly generative models, which aim to learn patterns and structures from existing data and then generate new examples that are similar to the training data.

One of the most common types of generative models used in AI is the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The training process of a GAN involves a competition between the generator and the discriminator. [Read more…] about How Generative AI can transform businesses

HR Onboarding: The Most Important Step in Employee Retention

August 9, 2023 by Keyam Montaqim Leave a Comment

The process of HR onboarding is one of the most crucial steps when it comes to employee retention. After all, it’s the first impression a new hire gets from their employer, and it lays the foundation for how they view their job and their relationship with their employer. As such, employers need to ensure that they’re providing an effective onboarding program to help ensure employees stay with the company for years to come.

LionsBot launches ‘world’s first Zero Click cleaning robots’

July 8, 2023 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

LionsBot International, which says its cleaning robots are in operation in more than 30 countries, has unveiled three new products – the R3 Vac, R3 Scrub Pro and the MagicTag.

The company says the new products “revolutionise autonomous professional cleaning”. Both the R3 Vac and R3 Scrub Pro are professional-grade vacuuming and scrubbing robots respectively, while the MagicTag enables both LionsBots to become “Zero Click” and very easy to use.

Currently, there is a global shortage of professional cleaners. However, most professional cleaning robots still require users to undergo extensive training before using the robot. Coupled with the high turnover rate experienced in the cleaning industry, this is not practical. [Read more…] about LionsBot launches ‘world’s first Zero Click cleaning robots’

ABB launches ‘complete’ robot training package to prepare students for future work

May 24, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Package includes easy-to-use GoFa collaborative robot cell, 56 hours of teaching materials and globally recognized STEM certification

ABB Robotics is aiming to “close the global education gap in automation” and prepare students for the future of work with the launch of a ready-to-use education package. Comprising a GoFa collaborative robot (cobot), teaching materials and a globally recognized technical qualification, the package is part of ABB Robotics global campaign to help workers thrive in a new era of automation. 

The ABB Robotics Education Package has been created to ensure educational establishments can provide highly skilled young people for companies looking to benefit from robotic automation.

Although some 80 percent of global educators see automation shaping employment in the next 10 years, only one in four education institutes incorporate robotics into their curriculum. Barriers include the lack of teachers trained in robotics and automation and the difficulty in incorporating robotics training into the curriculum seamlessly.

Drones navigate unseen environments with liquid neural networks

April 26, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

MIT researchers exhibit a new advancement in autonomous drone navigation, using brain-inspired liquid neural networks that excel in out-of-distribution scenarios

In the vast, expansive skies where birds once ruled supreme, a new crop of aviators is taking flight. These pioneers of the air are not living creatures, but rather a product of deliberate innovation: drones.

But these aren’t your typical flying bots, humming around like mechanical bees. Rather, they’re avian-inspired marvels that soar through the sky, guided by liquid neural networks to navigate ever-changing and unseen environments with precision and ease.

Inspired by the adaptable nature of organic brains, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory introduced a method for robust flight navigation agents to master vision-based fly-to-target tasks in intricate, unfamiliar environments.

IDS offers its industrial camera users free update to its new deep learning method

March 23, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

IDS Imaging Development Systems is offering an update for the AI system IDS NXT: Cameras can now also detect anomalies

In quality assurance, it is often necessary to reliably detect deviations from the norm. Industrial cameras have a key role in this, capturing images of products and analysing them for defects.

If the error cases are not known in advance or are too diverse, however, rule-based image processing reaches its limits. By contrast, this challenge can be reliably solved with the AI method Anomaly Detection.

The new, free IDS NXT 3.0 software update from IDS Imaging Development Systems makes the method available to all users of the AI vision system with immediate effect. [Read more…] about IDS offers its industrial camera users free update to its new deep learning method
