…highways and has partnered with Uber Technologies Inc. Apple, Microsoft, Ford, and many others are also involved in the development of autonomous vehicles. There is another combine, Waymo/Google/Alphabet, working out kinks in the technology. Lyft and General Motors are combining efforts. And of course, Tesla and its innovative CEO Elon Musk, the peripatetic Canadian-American business magnate, investor, engineer, and inventor are bullish. The U.S. chip-making giant Intel announced Monday that it had reached a deal to acquire an Israeli company called Mobileye for $15 billion. The combination is expected to accelerate innovation for the automotive and trucking industry and position…

…University, whose School of Engineering offers a master’s degree in robotic engineering, demonstrated how augmented reality (AR) using a Microsoft Hololens could control a Kinova light collaborative robot arm and a Turtlebot mobile robot. Tufts also had a Spot legged robot from Boston Dynamics, and MIT CSAIL demonstrated two smaller quadrupeds. The Institute for Experiential Robotics at Northeastern University showed a rover with a robotic arm, its entry into the 2021 University Rover Challenge. In April, Northeastern won a Research, Innovation, Scholarship, and Entrepreneurship (RISE) award for its robot to extract, melt, and purify water from subsurface ice on Mars.…

…the equivalent of combined revenues of Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Baidu and then some (a lot) more. It is also a big employer: the US Bureau of Labour Statistics suggests that 1.79m people work in this sector driving 7.2m trucks for inter-city freight transport earning an average salary of 41.3 k$/year. No wonder this is a hot topic now then. Trucking is also potentially an easier target than general passenger cars. This is because it spends much of its time in intercity roads which are less congested and less sinuous than city ones. The driver may remain in the…

…robotics and embedded computing ecosystem, including Canon, John Deere, Microsoft Azure, Teradyne, and TK Elevator. NVIDIA said its Jetson ecosystem is growing rapidly with over 1 million developers, 6,000 customers, 2,000 startups, and 150 partners. Jetson partners offer a wide range of support from AI software, hardware, and application design services to cameras, sensors and peripherals, and developer tools and systems. Orin Nano is supported by the NVIDIA JetPack software development kit (SDK) and is powered by the same NVIDIA CUDA-X accelerated computing stack used to create AI products in fields such as the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), manufacturing,…

…technology for making warehouse automation more agile. In particular, Microsoft’s HoloLens AR glasses—which allow a view of the physical reality, but can mix that view with holographic information—are seen as a promising means of mimicking hard-wired, pick-to-light solutions. Matthews Automation has been developing with HoloLens to achieve a virtual PTL capability, says Bast, using the glasses at a demo at the ProMat 2017 show. Currently, Bast adds, the glasses aren’t rugged enough for warehouse use, “but we believe that as these [AR glasses] solutions become more industrialized, and frankly, more cost effective, there may come a time when maybe there…
