Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Creating computer games scenes is often a time-consuming job, and requires skills in 3D design applications as well as some coding knowledge.
For a lot of humans, it can be a satisfying and rewarding job, with the average salary of a game designer of approximately $90,000.
But how long before artificial intelligence is able to design scenes for computer games and do the coding as well? [Read more…] about Game designers face competition from new AI system
IP EXPO Manchester, co-located at Digital Transformation EXPO, opened for the second day with scam expert Alexis Conran, best known for his appearance in the TV programme Real Hustle.
In his captivating keynote speech, Alexis took to the stage to engage the audience by using real-life examples showcasing just how easy it is to be a victim of a scam – no matter how secure you believe you are.
We live in a world where we are increasingly reliant on technology, in both work and our everyday lives. With this in mind, Conran discussed how the human element is just as important as the technology itself when it comes to digital security, commenting “Tech doesn’t fail, humans do.” [Read more…] about IP EXPO Manchester 2019 ends with a stark reminder: Anyone can be a victim of a scam or cyber-attack
Publisher says its innovative book prototype provides a “compelling machine-generated overview” of the latest research on lithium-ion batteries, automatically compiled by an algorithm developed in collaboration with the Applied Computational Linguistics Lab of Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany
Springer Nature has published its first machine-generated book in chemistry. The book prototype provides an overview of the latest research in the rapidly growing field of lithium-ion batteries.
The company says the content is “a cross-corpus auto-summarization” of a large number of current research articles in this discipline.
Serving as a structured excerpt from a huge set of papers, the innovative pipeline architecture aims at helping researchers to manage the information overload in this discipline efficiently. [Read more…] about Springer Nature publishes its first ‘machine-generated’ book
The next step on your automation journey starts here
Running from 4-7 June 2019 Düsseldorf, Germany, the AI & Robotic Process Automation World Summit will showcase automation solutions to develop high-quality AI and robotic processing.
Robotic process automation experts will come together to exchange knowledge, ideas and real-world strategies for the competitive automation industry.
Standard information management processes are no longer able to sustain the workload they are put under. [Read more…] about 4th AI & Robotic Process Automation World Summit 2019
Logic Supply has released a new rugged and compact fanless industrial computer, the Karbon 300.
The company says the new machine combines the latest vision processing, security protocols, wireless communication technologies, and cloud architectures.
Logic Supply says the Karbon 300 has been “engineered to help innovators overcome the limitations of deploying reliable computer hardware in challenging environments”. [Read more…] about Logic Supply unveils new rugged industrial computer
Tech giant Apple says its new iPad Air and iPad mini tablet computers “deliver dramatic power and capability”.
Apple has introduced the “all-new” iPad Air in an ultra-thin 10.5-inch design, offering the latest innovations including Apple Pencil support and high-end performance at a “breakthrough price”.
With the A12 Bionic chip with Apple’s Neural Engine, the new iPad Air delivers a 70 percent boost in performance and twice the graphics capability, and the advanced Retina display with True Tone technology is nearly 20 percent larger with over half a million more pixels.

By Eric Jensen, head of IoT product management at Canonical
2019 will be a big year for robotics, as we begin to see the expansion of automation technologies into new markets.
But with IoT security still a weak spot, one major attack within robotics could have a domino effect on the entire industry.
Add to this the verticals that robots are beginning to infiltrate – healthcare and agriculture for example – and the threat becomes immediate and very real. [Read more…] about Could an IoT security domino effect derail robotics before it ever goes mainstream?
Nvidia and Mellanox have reached a definitive agreement under which Nvidia will acquire Mellanox.
Nvidia will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mellanox for $125 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $6.9 billion.
The acquisition will unite two of the world’s leading companies in high-performance computing. [Read more…] about Nvidia to acquire Mellanox for $7 billion
Chip giant Intel and high-performance computing specialist Cray are both working with the US government’s Department of Energy to develop what is claimed to be the world’s first exascale supercomputer.
The word “exascale” in this context refers to computing systems capable of at least one billion billion – or one quintillion – floating-point operations, or FLOPs.
That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 computer calculations per second and represents a thousandfold increase over petascale supercomputers, which is the de facto standard today. [Read more…] about Intel and Cray contracted by US government to develop ‘first exascale supercomputer’
Nvidia has launched the “Jetson Nano” computer, saying it is designed to deal with artificial intelligence and makes it possible to create “millions of intelligent systems”.
The small but powerful CUDA-X AI computer delivers 472 gigaflops of compute performance for running modern AI workloads and is highly power-efficient, consuming as little as 5 watts.
Unveiled at the GPU Technology Conference by Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang, Jetson Nano comes in two versions – the $99 devkit for developers, makers and enthusiasts and the $129 production-ready module for companies looking to create mass-market edge systems.
