Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Samsung Electronics is to expand the ‘Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) artificial intelligence (AI) Lab Montreal’ in Canada.
The lab will help the company strengthen its fundamentals in AI research and drive competitiveness in system semiconductors.
The lab is located in Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (Mila).

By combining complementary strengths – NXP’s offline machine learning capability and embedded processing with Microsoft’s cloud expertise – the two companies jointly demonstrates a new Anomaly Detection Solution for Azure IoT at Microsoft Build in Seattle recently.
The solution consists of a small form factor, low power system-on-module powered by NXP’s i.MX RT106C Crossover Processors, a full suite of sensors, and an associated Anomaly Detection Toolbox.

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) is aiming to start the public service of Post-K around 2021 or 2022.
Fujitsu has now concluded an official contract with RIKEN to manufacture, ship, and install hardware for Post-K.

AMD is working with the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and supercomputing specialist Cray on the system.
The three jointly announced what is expected to be “the world’s fastest exascale-class supercomputer”, scheduled to be delivered to ORNL in 2021.

Nadin Kraus from Teva Pharma, expert speaker at the 4th AI & RPA World Summit 2019, reveals why you should have an eye on this trend. Read the full report.
While RPA’s growth trajectory has been fairly steep – implementations jumping from 9% at the start of 2018 to 32% at the start of 2019 – there are limitations to what it can do on its own and organizations are running into hurdles in trying to scale.

The company claims this is the industry’s first 12-gigabyte low-power double data rate 4X (LPDDR4X) package – optimized for tomorrow’s premium smartphones.
Featuring higher capacity than most ultra-thin notebooks, the new mobile DRAM will enable smartphone users to take full advantage of all the features in next-generation smartphones.

Yara and IBM Services will jointly innovate and commercialize digital agricultural solutions that will help increase global food production by drawing on the two companies’ complementary capabilities.
Yara’s agronomic knowledge, backed by more than 800 agronomists and a century of experience, and IBM’s digital platforms, services, and expertise in artificial intelligence and data analytics. [Read more…] about Yara and IBM join forces to transform the future of farming
Infineon is outgrowing all other leading suppliers of automotive semiconductors in Japan, according to new research by Strategy Analytics.
Infineon says this shows “strong growth in a strategically important market”.
The latest research from Strategy Analytics finds that Infineon Technologies increased its automotive business in Japan by almost 25 percent in 2018. [Read more…] about Infineon ‘outgrowing all other leading suppliers of automotive semiconductors’ in Japan
Canonical has launched a new version of the Ubuntu computer operating system, which is increasingly popular in industrial devices and networks.
The company says the updated version, Ubuntu 19.04, provides the necessary tools for open infrastructure applications, includes a developer desktop, internet of things functionality, and cloud to edge software distribution.
Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical, says: “The open-source-first on Ubuntu movement in telco, finance, and media has spread to other sectors.
“From the public cloud to the private data center to the edge appliance or cluster, open source has become the reference for efficiency and innovation.
“Ubuntu 19.04 includes the leading projects to underpin that transition, and the developer tooling to accelerate the applications for those domains.”
Traditional industrial robots tend to be very large and potentially dangerous, which is why they tend to be caged off and kept separate from human workers.
But a new company called Veo Robotics says it has the technology to transform traditional industrial robotic arms into safe machines that humans can work alongside, within close proximity.
Veo’s solution could make every industrial robot a collaborative robot. The term “collaborative” is recognized by international standards organizations and usually applies to much smaller, newer types of robots which are specifically designed to safe for humans to work with.
