Activity simulator could teach chores to an artificial agent
For many people, household chores are a dreaded, inescapable part of life that we often put off or do with little care. But what if a robot assistant could help lighten the load? Recently, computer scientists have been working on teaching machines to do a wider range of tasks around the house.
The next generation of working class heroes?
Yesterday, Electronic Specifier's editor Enaie Azambuja attended the event 'Redefining Consumer Goods Industry with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning', organised by Women of Wearables. The panel consisted of the industry’s brightest researchers and innovators at present: Hadeel Ayoub, founder of startup BrightSign; Maria McKavanagh, Chief Operating Officer of Verv; Cosmin Stamate, CTO at Xsure; Sharifah Amirah, Intent H...
Making driverless cars change lanes like human drivers do
In the field of self-driving cars, algorithms for controlling lane changes are an important topic of study. But most existing lane-change algorithms have one of two drawbacks: Either they rely on detailed statistical models of the driving environment, which are difficult to assemble and too complex to analyse on the fly; or they’re so simple that they can lead to impractically conservative decisions, such as never changing lanes at all.
The first Nordic AI platform to receive CE certification
Tieto Intelligent Wellbeing data platform has received CE certification for medical devices. This EU certification is the first of its kind in the Nordics for a big data and AI platform, and enables extending the use from medical research purposes to daily clinical care of patients. Tieto Intelligent Wellbeing was developed to address the many needs of the healthcare and welfare sector, as validated by its recent CE medical device certificat...
Are the roads safer with self-driving cars?
A new report has examined the impact of automated vehicles on road safety and cyber-security vulnerabilities. Automated vehicles promise more safety by eliminating crashes linked to human error. But claims that self-driving cars could avoid 90% of road deaths by eliminating these errors are untested, the new report by the International Transport Forum has found.
Bringing AI in edge devices to the mass market
A complete technology stack combining modular hardware kits, neural network IP cores, software tools, reference designs and custom design services has been introduced by Lattice Semiconductor to accelerate integration of machine learning inferencing into broad market IoT applications.

Bringing advanced safety features to more vehicles
Renesas Electronics and Magna, a mobility technology company are aiming to accelerate the mass adoption of Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) features with a new cost efficient 3D surround view system designed for entry- and mid-range vehicles. The 3D surround view system adopts Renesas’ high performance, low power System-on-Chip (SoC) optimised for smart camera and surround view systems.
When will Artificial Intelligence replace your job?
Since the very first computer program, humans have been consumed with the concept of artificial intelligence - the idea that one day machines can think, react and interact with us in a distinctly lifelike manner. The truth is, we’re closer than we think. Charting the evolution of artificial intelligence, AI vs Humanity allows you to see how fast technology has progressed - and when the world’s foremost scientists think ...
Launch of inline full 3D artificial intelligence AOI
The ISO-Spector M1A is the flagship full 3D AOI system from Mek (Marantz-Electronics).
