British universities lead the way with AI jobs
According to figures recently released by the job site Indeed, Imperial College London is the nation’s most active creator of jobs in Artificial Intelligence (AI),
AI revolution within the NHS could make ‘bedside robots’ a reality
A new report looking into improving the sustainability of the NHS, published by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and Lord Darzi, former health minister, predicts an AI revolution within the NHS is nigh and claims AI robots could save the NHS £12.5bn a year.
Artificial intelligence senses people through walls
X-ray vision has long seemed like a far-fetched sci-fi fantasy, but over the last decade a team led by Professor Dina Katabi from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has continually gotten us closer to seeing through walls. Their latest project, 'RF-Pose,' uses artificial intelligence (AI) to teach wireless devices to sense people’s postures and movement, even from the other side of a wall.
Student team head to Audi's autonomous driving competition
Five students from the University of Leicester are one of only ten teams selected from across Europe to compete in the Audi Autonomous Driving Cup 2018 - where the next generation of innovators will demonstrate how they could help to shape the future of autonomous vehicle technology.
Driver support systems take safety to the next level
Better traffic safety and enhanced working environment for drivers are expected as Volvo Trucks has introduced its new driver support systems to assist steering of heavy trucks.
IoT advancements enable AI for the context-aware smart home
The smart home has been growing over the last decade, both in the number of devices on the market and the number of homes with devices. Recent statistics from Futuresource Consulting, reveal that smart home devices will achieve a retail value of $6bn worldwide this year, with revenues expected to triple by 2021.

What do workers think about artificial intelligence?
Did you know 67% of UK workers see artificial intelligence as a technology that makes machines better assistants in the workplace? In particular, the intelligent control over voice commands or touchpads will make it easier for people to assign the machine new tasks (70%). Sixty four percent of workers believe that computer scientists will not be able to replace human social skills with digital assistants.
Jumping in the driving seat to transform connected cars
Midlands Future Mobility will use over 50 miles of Coventry and Birmingham roads to establish the Midlands as a world class UK centre for the development, and evaluation of, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) and related technologies and services.
The virtual world of intralogistics
Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Augmented and Virtual Reality: The possibilities offered by modern technologies in the intralogistics industry are the subject of the international VDI conference 'Intralogistic Solutions' in Amsterdam on 27th and 28th June. The logistics industry is undergoing digital transformation: blockchain and cloud technologies optimise the logistics process by creating interfaces and simplifying data processing.
AI-based method could expedite complex physics simulations
A technique developed by MIT physicists could someday provide a way to custom-design multilayered nanoparticles with desired properties, potentially for use in displays, cloaking systems, or biomedical devices. It may also help physicists tackle a variety of thorny research problems, in ways that could in some cases be orders of magnitude faster than existing methods.
