…the droid’s head,” said Vuksic. He also uses Microsoft Azure to process the data in the cloud for object-detection training. “My favorite part of the project was definitely connecting it to the Jetson Orin Nano, which made it easy to run the AI and make the droid move according to what it sees,” said Vuksic, who wrote a step-by-step technical guide to building the bot, so others can try it themselves. “The most challenging part was traveling with the droid — there was a bit of explanation necessary when I was passing security and opened my bag which contained the…

…VoloIQ is an app that will run on Microsoft Azure “offering full transparency for the complex urban air mobility ecosystem in real time.” Saudi smart city invests in Volocopter Volocopter became a strategic partner with investor Neom in December 2021. Neom is a smart city or “cognitive region project” being built in Saudi Arabia. The joint venture plans to integrate the VoloCity air taxi and the VoloDrone into Neom's sustainable and connected mobility systems. It will also design and operate the region's all-electric public flight routes for the first seven years after launch. “At Neom, we strongly believe in the…

…allow their solutions to run simulations on the Microsoft Azure Big Compute platform. The Fortissimo Project At the end of 2019, the European Commission wrapped up its Fortissimo Project, which was launched to encourage the use of advanced modeling and simulation by providing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) access to cloud-based HPC resources. The experiments conducted in the early phases of the project resulted in 79 success stories and case studies that demonstrated how the use of cloud-based HPC could improve the value chain. The project was primarily targeted at cloud-based simulation, a number of additive manufacturing use cases were…

…APIs, and frameworks for generative AI running on Microsoft's Azure cloud using real-time factory data and 5G networking, enabling collaboration among multiple users around the world. “Everything is ray-traced. We do everything in CAD; no art is necessary,” Huang said. “It's one source of data across your company.” He mentioned that NVIDIA is working with WPP to build an advertising content engine using Omniverse (see video below). “Accelerated computing and generative AI—this form of computing is not like general-purpose computing,” said Huang. “It's full-stack, data center-scale, and domain-specific. We're extending it in multiple directions, from the cloud to digital factories.”…

…submit jobs to secure high-performance compute infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. The launch of Distributed Compute Services (DCS), a new family of applications, enables users to distribute, manage and solve simulations on a variety of compute resources. DCS empowers users to more effectively use compute resources across operating systems, networks and locations. In the Fluids suite, ANSYS Fluent has a new user experience that enables engineers to complete more computational fluid dynamics simulations in less time and with less training. Additionally, in ANSYS 2019 R3, a new automated workflow speeds the ANSYS Fluent adjoint solver so users can easily find the…

…will use a specific cloud provider (AWS, GCP, MS Azure, etc.) and prefer to store their data in data lakes within those providers. Storing data within a data lake is also preferable because it is much cheaper than storing it in a more structured data warehouse. This allows for more affordable storage of data so that personas can load only the data they need for analytics purposes into a more expensive data warehouse. Data finally goes where it needs to go To solve issues quickly and hold up against tough competition in the robotics industry, full access to data is…

…also seeing companies such as Citrix, AWS and Microsoft Azure offer cloud-based desktops.” The shift from on-premises desktop to virtual machines suggests the security risks, too, have migrated to the cloud. But human behavior, as it turns out, remains a bigger security risk than the holes in the company firewall and the cloud. A Famous IP Theft Case One of the most high-profile IP theft cases in the CAD industry occurred in 2002, when the source code of a pre- release version of SolidWorks was stolen. The culprit, Shekhar Verma, was a former employee of an outsourced contractor in India.…
