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.

  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
