Efforts to develop robots that can reliably navigate complex environments have long been hampered by a fundamental limitation: most robotic vision systems essentially go blind in challenging weather conditions. From autonomous vehicles battling through thick fog to rescue robots braking smoke-filled buildings, these limitations represent a critical vulnerability in robotics applications where failure is impossible. … Read more

When I was a little boy, there were no grocery stores in our neighborhood. The only place to buy fruits and vegetables was at our local farmer’s market. My mom would pick the freshest tomatoes and saute them with eggs into a simple meal that became my comfort food. The tomatoes were ugly to look … Read more

The notebook technique fundamentally changes the way we work with large language models (LLM). Unlike traditional prompting, where we simply state our request and hope for the best, the notebook technique creates a structured thought process that both you and the LLM can follow. Consider this common scenario: When asking an LLM to analyze customer … Read more

In the 2016 science fiction film Arrivala linguist is faced with the difficult task of deciphering a foreign language consisting of palindromic sentences that read as much backwards as forwards, written in circular symbols. As he discovers different clues, different nations around the world interpret the message differently – some of them assume they represent … Read more

Performing the surgery requires years of intensive study and a steady hand, but robots could do it more easily with today’s AI technology. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Stanford University have taught a robotic surgical system to perform a number of surgical tasks as proficiently as human doctors, simply by training it on … Read more

With NOVA, a new era of automation begins, setting new standards in efficiency, accessibility and innovation. “With NOVA, we are witnessing a new dawn in industrial automation,” said … Read more

Palletizing is a critical process in industries worldwide where products are stacked and secured on pallets for shipping or storage. While automation is becoming more common, manual palletizing—where workers perform these tasks by hand—remains common, especially in the warehouse and manufacturing industries. However, this widespread practice poses health and safety risks that cannot be ignored. … Read more
