The National AI Initiative Office of the federal government of the United States has established an AI Researchers Portal on AI.gov. It is created in partnership with Federal departments and agencies and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development coordination office. The portal connects AI researchers to Federal resources that can support their research, including data, computing, and testbeds, as well as AI-relevant grant funding programs. 

As part of their machine learning internship, two University of Adelaide computer science students, Christopher Fusco and Jash Vira, created a neural network that was able to learn how to make beer by studying a vast trove of brewing records. The result is a unique AI-designed IPA.

Recently Danish research company HowToRobot published its analysis of the Dutch robotics market. This comprehensive report emphasizes the supply chain and logistics sector as the economic center of gravity for the Dutch economy, as most of all robot suppliers active in this market target this vertical. Rocking Robots discussed the findings of the report with CEO Søren Peters.

Across a vast array of robotic hands and clamps, there is a common foe: the heirloom tomato. You may have seen a robotic gripper deftly pluck an egg or smoothly palm a basketball – but, unlike human hands, one gripper is unlikely to be able to do both and a key challenge remains hidden in the middle ground.

Tetraplegic patients are prisoners of their own bodies, unable to speak or perform the slightest movement. Researchers have been working for years to develop systems that can help these patients carry out some tasks on their own.

When it comes to robots, bigger isn’t always better. Someday, a swarm of insect-sized robots might pollinate a field of crops or search for survivors amid the rubble of a collapsed building.

A maze is a popular device among psychologists to assess the learning capacity of mice or rats. But how about robots? Can they learn to successfully navigate the twists and turns of a labyrinth? Now, researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, have proven they can.

Europe’s Rehabilitation Robots market is expected to reach US$ 708.87 million by 2028 from 185.69 US$ million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2021 to 2028, according to a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com.

By 2025, 30% of critical infrastructure organisations will experience a security breach that will result in the halting of an operations- or mission-critical cyber-physical system, according to Gartner. . “Invest in threat intelligence and join industry groups to stay apprised of security best practices, upcoming mandates and requests for inputs from government entities.”

A grant by the National Science Foundation to researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Syracuse University aims to open new avenues of robotic study of coral reefs by developing autonomous underwater vehicles capable of navigating complex environments and of collecting data over long periods of time.
