…of clustering in the feature space, think of how Google connects websites and pages by running algorithms,” Raichelgauz explained. “We created a matrix of connectivity. While most random signatures won't match, some will, such as for red traffic lights. We let our algorithm analyze them and then cluster those with strong internal connectivity and then subsets of signatures. One signature can participate in many clusters. The system then inspects every cluster and then isolates only the neurons in the context of that cluster.” “With self-segmentation—organizing data around commonalities—we can then identify semantic sequences,” he said. “This increases generalization and isn't…

…can both receive SMS alerts, email notifications and even Google notifications for every movement a shipment makes. Combined with the upcoming electronic logging devices (ELD) mandate, the use of smart tech to track last mile logistics will grow. 4. Analytics Will Drive Last Mile Logistics Costs Down The amount of information coming from automated systems and smart technology can have another purpose when applied through analytics. Analytics allow supply chain entities to isolate the cost-impacting factors across all shipments. Although subtle changes may not have a major impact on initial costs, data analytics provide a means of pushing costs to…

…members take advantage of all of them?'” “We've had Google, Microsoft, and other big companies come to us asking, 'Why do we have to join multiple associations?'” he recalled. “We decided that we are stronger under one umbrella. It will include things such as a whole community for artificial intelligence.” “A3 is the front-facing brand for all 1,100 members, which will be better for the media and general public,” Burnstein said. “It will be easier to drive traffic to one website and tell our story to companies we'd like to engage with as members.” In addition, the consolidation will make…

…the biggest companies in the world, including Airbus, Boeing, Google, Apple, and General Motors. Advanced Navigation has carbon-neutral operations, including manufacturing and research facilities throughout Australia and sales offices around the world. Last week, it received $5.2 million from the Australian Space Agency for lunar exploration. Advanced Navigation claimed that Boreas is “the world's only fully digital FOG.” The company said it is targeting the product range is targeted at applications requiring always-available, ultra-high-accuracy orientation and navigation. The Boreas line contains Advanced Navigation’s sensor-fusion algorithm, which it said “is more intelligent than the typical extended Kalman filter and is able…

…own solutions before ultimately embracing market leaders like Windows, Google Maps, AutoCAD and Salesforce. Complex software systems like 3D vision localization are particularly prone to organizations underestimating the schedule and budget associated with this project, along with the staff expertise and experience needed to design a solution for scale. While there are some examples of companies that managed to productize a vision-based localization solution after massive investment, most failed to reach the finish line and often spent four times more than planned. The allure of open-source and free libraries often tempts teams to quickly build a prototype and then extrapolate…

…on drones underestimated Interest in drone delivery is rising. Google parent Alphabet's Wing subsidiary said its service in Christiansburg was among the most advanced of the handful of trial services operating today. But drone technology—and the laws that regulate it—are maturing, and Virginia Tech said it expects services like these to become routine in the next few years. Whether they're successful or not will depend in large part on how the public responds. Delivering packages to homes unfolds in the public eye to a greater extent than many other applications for drones: People may see the drone in the commercial…

…and Blade Runner to the claims this year by Google engineer Blake Lemoine that its AI was sentient, the concept of machines with emotions has always sparked people's imaginations. While the truth to these tales remains uncertain, a tangible new reality is emerging: Robots are have gained the sense of “feeling,” moving into the realm of human touch. For years, machines have perfected the art of seeing, using advancements in computer vision and laser technologies to enhance their precision. But now, a new frontier has opened – comprehending tactile sensations. Imagine a robotic finger gliding across a glass surface, identifying…
