We’ve long expected that Generative AI would threaten many white-collar jobs, but now it’s also gaining traction in the manufacturing industry, threatening blue-collar jobs as well. AI is accelerating the fourth industrial revolution, and…

I don’t know why this should be a surprise. The first time I heard of food being delivered by robots, I remember thinking they’d need good luck to have it arrive at a destination. But the operations of food delivery ventures come with…

I'm flying soon and had to ponder if I'd be up to flying with Pibot or the airline pilot I know nothing about. A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) is developing a…

A new approach to LiDAR technology invented by University of Washington researchers resides on a computer chip and uses sound waves running over its surface to steer a laser beam. It allows self-driving cars to see objects like pedestrians…

This shouldn't be a surprise. Scientists say "formidable complexity" exists in developing software that predicts how people behave and interact on the roads, including pedestrians, motorists, or bike riders. They say a lack of accurate…

Merging is a nightmare. I’ve driven in California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina, and several other states. It sucks everywhere and all comes down to a fundamental question: should I wait, or should I…

Serve Robotics Inc., known for its autonomous sidewalk delivery technology, announced the scope of its partnership with Uber Technologies Inc. Their agreement allows Serve to deploy up to 2,000 of its robots on Uber Eats in multiple markets…

Refractive lenses have been around forever—800 years, in fact. The basic architecture of lenses, however, may be changing. Metamaterials could revolutionize lensing systems. Conventional lenses rely on refraction at interfaces to focus…

Infineon is leading and coordinating a wide-scale research project called Mannheim-CeCaS (CentralCarServer) to develop an automotive supercomputing platform. A total of 30 research partners are involved, and there is support from the German…

Seeing Machines Limited is demonstrating its AI-powered immersive sensing technology at CES 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 5 through 7. The immersive technology demonstrations will be held by appointment at the…
