Exposure to increased automation through robotics at work increases the risk of unemployment and decreases wealth accumulation, particularly for less educated households, finds new research from Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. 

Huawei’s Smart Road, Waterway, and Port BU showcased its latest Smart Road and Smart Port solutions at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023. 5G solutions were commercially deployed and have been operating for over a year at Tianjin Port. In fact, the 5G+ Smart Port Project won the Best Mobile Innovation for Connected Economy from GSMA at MWC 2022.

 A University of Central Florida researcher has received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to enhance the current understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning.

A tiny robot that could one day help doctors perform surgery was inspired by the gripping ability of geckos and the efficient locomotion of inchworms. The robot, developed by engineers at the University of Waterloo, utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light and magnetic force to move on any surface, even up walls and across ceilings.

After competing in the finals with the University College London, which presented Bubble Worlds, a research team led by Dr. Sona Kwak from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology presented CollaBot and received the best award in the “hardware, design, and interface” category at the Robot Design Competition hosted by the International Conference on Social Robotics (ICSR) 2022.

According to a new market research report by Meticulous Research, the surgical robots market is projected to reach $25.47 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.4% during the forecast period 2023–2030.

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev engineer Dr. David Zarrouk and his student Omer Guetta have developed AmphiSAW, one of the fastest and most efficient amphibious robots. Befitting the director and member of the Bioinspired and Medical Robotics Lab, the robot’s movement in water is inspired by the movement of flippers and its land movements are inspired by centipedes.

Clevon, an autonomous delivery provider, and ZF, a technology company,  announced a strategic collaboration that brings together Clevon’s Autonomous Robotic Carrier technology and ZF SCALAR, a real-time AI-based fleet orchestration platform.

Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully using a robot to help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work. This was one of the key results in a new study that also found both the youngsters and their instructors valued the positive classroom contributions made by the robot.

The adoption of artificial intelligence technologies across text, image and video-based creative intelligence is at an all-time high and is expected to gain even more momentum this year. As machine learning (ML), deep learning and natural-language processing technologies improve, so does the excitement and dependency of marketers looking to make better informed decisions.
