BrainChip Holdings, or also known as ‘BrainChip’ or ‘The Company’, a developer of software and hardware accelerated solutions for advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, has announced the release of its new software product, BrainChip Studio. This new software has been produced as a result of over ten years development and BrainChip Studio uses an artificial intelligence technology cal...

According to Tesla and Space X chief executive Elon Musk, artificial intelligence is the “biggest risk we face as a civilisation” and needs to be proactively regulated before it’s too late. Speaking at a meeting of US governors, Musk said: “Normally the way regulations are set up is when a bunch of bad things happen, there’s a public outcry, and after many years a regulatory agency is set up to regulate that ind...

Many boroughs in Brittany, France, are investing in the best computing technology to optimise various services such as household waste collection. Already established in the region, Mobil-Inn is equipping an increasing number of waste collection vehicles with their iSmartCollect solution. The platform chosen by Mobil-Inn to complement this software is ARBOR’s 8" IOT-800 rugged Android terminal.

While considered science fiction a decade earlier, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technologies are evolving rapidly. The prospect of autonomous driving seemed to be impossible and futuristic. The idea of autonomous vehicles is not new and traces back to the times of Leonardo Da Vinci who first sketched a three-wheeled driverless cart in 1478. Tesla’s autopilot was introduced in 2015 with driver assistance systems, which marked the i...

Subsidiary of Renesas Electronics, Intersil, has announced the TW8844 LCD video processor that interfaces with the latest generation of automotive SoCs. The highly integrated TW8844 is the first high-definition (HD) 1080p LCD video processor with analogue video decoder, two scalers and MIPI-CSI2 SoC interface, and builds on Intersil’s automotive video leadership in infotainment and display systems.

The Future of Humanity Institute recently published the results of its survey of over 350 industry and academic Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts from around the globe in an effort to answer this question. They also tackled a more vexing one: When will machines exceed human performance for all tasks? According to those experts we have decades. Guest blogger Mychal McCabe explains.

The automotive industry is focusing its efforts on developing solutions for autonomous driving and car-to-car communication. At the same time, the communications industry is moving towards 5G, and broadband networks are becoming ever faster. Large and complex volumes of data need to be transmitted securely in fractions of a second. Demanding applications such as these require specially developed printed circuit board (PCB) and interconnection tec...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute have enabled a computer to understand the body poses and movements of multiple people from video in real time — including, for the first time, the pose of each individual's fingers. The method was developed with the help of the Panoptic Studio, a two-story dome embedded with 500 video cameras. The insights gained from experiments in that facility now make it possible to det...

  Authorities in Dubai are set to have a new recruit patrolling the streets: a mini robotic police car to help identify and track suspects. The robotic cars are powered with machine learning algorithms and 3D SLAM technology, but police officers can control the cars through a computer in their patrol car dashboards.

Could robots one day be used to keep the elderly ‘company’ in care homes, or alleviate some of the struggles facing those in long term relationships? According to a report released today by the Foundation for Responsible Robotics (FRR), this could be the case in the next five to ten years. The consultation report, Our Sexual Future With Robots, presented an objective summary of the issues and various opinions about what coul...
