SLAMcore, provider of spatial intelligence software for robots and other autonomous machines, announced a strategic partnership with SYNAOS, developer of smart intralogistics software solutions for logistics and factories. Together the two companies are announcing SYNA.OS VIEW, a low-cost, real time, spatial intelligence system for manually guided intralogistics vehicles (e.g., forklifts and warehouse vehicles).

RPA has been around for a relatively long time in manufacturing to emulate repetitive, mundane human tasks. But now new possibilities arise with the introduction of analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and software automation. Manufacturers can now use this advanced technology across the entire manufacturing value chain to improve productivity and growth.

Pepper ist ein humanoider Roboter, der darauf programmiert ist, Menschen und deren Mimik und Gestik zu analysieren und auf diese Emotionszustände entsprechend zu reagieren. Der Marktstart war 2015, nun hat der Hersteller Softbank die Produktion aber eingestellt. Rockingrobots diskutiert mit Thomas Oehring, CEO von Novabotics und Mathias Hofmann (CTO) über die Hintergründe – und welche Einsatzgebiete sie heute und in der Zukunft von Robotern im Alltag sehen.

More and more companies are using chatbots in customer services. Due to advances in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, chatbots are often indistinguishable from humans when it comes to communication. But should companies let their customers know that they are communicating with machines and not with humans?

A new generation of robotic tools are beginning to be realized thanks to a combination of strong ‘muscles’ and sensitive ‘nerves’ created from smart polymeric materials. A research team led by the smart materials experts Professor Stefan Seelecke and Junior Professor Gianluca Rizzello at Saarland University is exploring fundamental aspects of this exciting field of soft robotics.

Humans expect that AI is Benevolent and trustworthy. A new study reveals that at the same time humans are unwilling to cooperate and compromise with machines. They even exploit them.

Industrial robot manufacturer FANUC has received a major order in the field of e-mobility. Scheduled for delivery in 2022, the company will supply the Cologne plant of Ford with around 500 robots to assist in the construction of electric car bodies.

Die vom Bundesumweltministerium (BMU) beauftragte Studie »Potenziale der schwachen Künstlichen Intelligenz für die betriebliche Ressourceneffizienz« untersucht konkrete Einsatzmöglichkeiten von KI, um die Ressourceneffizienz vor allem in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) zu steigern.

Organizations running on SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC can manage a great deal of processes, but there are several challenges. Earlier we talked about these challenges with Tanja Breitling-Zboril, Sr. Manager Partner & Alliance Management at UiPath: Processes stretch beyond SAP systems; expert work can be expensive and integration with SAP S/4HANA requires specific tasks. In a series of three videos she talks more in depth about the solutions to these SAP-specific challenges. Today we cover Process Mining and RPA in a SAP S/4HANA migration.

Communities benefit from sharing knowledge and experience among their members. Following a similar principle – called “swarm learning” – an international research team has trained artificial intelligence algorithms to detect blood cancer, lung diseases and COVID-19 in data stored in a decentralized fashion.
