What Happens When Cybercriminals Target Industrial Robots?

by

Historically, robots were just dumb pieces of programmable machinery that did the same task over and over again. They had virtually no ability to sense their environment. And they certainly couldn’t make decisions for themselves.

With the advent of machine learning and smart systems, that’s all changing. Now designers are imbuing their mechanical appendages with all manner of intelligence. And it’s only getting better.

For economists, these trends are extremely exciting. We could be looking at a future where robots do the vast majority of manual jobs, freeing up labour for other tasks, boosting productivity like nothing else in human history.

Machine learning in banking and marketing applications for 2021 and beyond

by

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in banking make the strongest combination possible. Since these technologies are versatile, there are a lot of ways to use them across industries, and in the fintech sector as well.

There are a lot of concerns and discussions around artificial intelligence and machine learning that last for several decades already. The recent pandemic has greatly accelerated the development of innovation.

Smart robots are already capable of helping shoppers select and deliver goods, as well as performing simple medical tasks such as delivering drugs and instruments. What is more, the main forecast remains unchanged – the share of artificial intelligence in business will grow every year.

How Machine Learning is Revolutionizing Shipping

by

Have you ever ordered a large package and found that it would be shipped to you the very next day? Ever wonder how it was possible that the minute you buy something online, it’s already found, registered, and in the process of getting to you?

It’s all thanks to warehouses that are using some special tech to make the process as efficient as it can be. [Read more…] about How Machine Learning is Revolutionizing Shipping

The Advantages of Including Facial Recognition in a Mobile App

by

Imagine the benefits to your business of including facial recognition in a mobile app. Let’s start with this idea:

Dale Carnegie said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest, most important sound in any language.”

Envision your staff being able to recognize your most important customers’ faces immediately, then greet them by name as soon as they walked into your establishment. [Read more…] about The Advantages of Including Facial Recognition in a Mobile App

Webcast: CogitAI launches ‘industry’s first self-learning, actionable artificial Intelligence’

Believe it or not, almost everyone from us is leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and deep learning in our daily life. Whether it will be in the form of Siri or you are making a query through Google-like search engines. This isn’t the kind of AI we saw in Tony Stark’s inventions, this is much more than that. This AI gives the product like Watson which helps humanity by finding a cure for diseases like cancer.

The digital spaceship is fueled by technologies like artificial intelligence and big data leading us towards the automation where most of the business operations are optimized incorporating it with machines. The technology of automation is estimated to touch $190.61 billion by the end of 2025 transforming healthcare into the manufacturing sector.  [Read more…] about Artificial intelligence and automation are leading a new industrial age

Webcast: Kalray unveils new AI processor technology for autonomous vehicles

by

In this presentation and interview, Stéphane Cordova, VP of embedded technology at Kalray, provides an insight into the company’s artificial intelligence computing systems for autonomous cars, as well as Kalray itself. (See video below.)

Kalray recently unveiled its new neural network platform, which it calls “KaNN”, saying it enables “high-performance machine learning” applications for a variety of sectors including automotive, one of the areas in which it specialises.

KaNN and Kalray’s new AI processor, called the “Massively Parallel Processor Array”, or MPPA, also have potential applications in areas such as intelligent storage servers, data centers, robotics, drones, and others.  [Read more…] about Webcast: Kalray unveils new AI processor technology for autonomous vehicles

Autodesk uses Lego method to develop modular assembly system for real factories

by

Software maker Autodesk is using machine learning and lessons learned from Lego to develop robotic systems for modular assembly in the real world. 

Lego, as most people will know, is the company which makes small toy bricks and other objects which can be connected to each other in simple ways to create complex structures, such as toy houses, cars and so on.

Most adults will have played with Lego at some point in their lives, and the companies toys are still popular with today’s kids.

The Lego world has always interested other companies, some of which have copied the to create modular systems in many areas, including large-scale real building construction.  [Read more…] about Autodesk uses Lego method to develop modular assembly system for real factories
