In this article, we'll see how PLC and SCADA systems differ, how they work together, and which protocols, scan times and security controls matter in industrial automation.
A modern vehicle's competitive advantage lies in compiled firmware. Binary-level protection secures that code without source access, hardware changes, or a heavy memory budget.
Mario Mauerer, maxon's Global Business Development Manager, Robotics, discusses what it takes for robotic deployments to be successful in complex real-world environments.
Join Prof. Fei Chen as he explores advanced bimanual manipulation and teleoperation techniques shaping the future of intelligent human-like robots in this expert-led robotics session.
Thanks to software developed bicycle engineers can quickly calculate the most aerodynamic shape for a bike. The software applies artificial intelligence to a set of user-defined specifications. Engineers have used the program to design a bike that they hope will break the world speed record.
The current state of robotic actuators and mechanical control systems are failing to keep pace with advancing AI software, exploring novel actuator technologies may bridge the gap between man and machine.
Over the last decade or so, the world of AI has been obsessed with the problem of pattern recognition — Ask any budding engineer “Give me an algorithm to find X in an environment Y”, and expect to hear the words, “Give me T examples in environment Y, and I will predict X with so much accuracy”.
We are announcing the release of our state-of-the-art off-policy model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, soft actor-critic (SAC). This algorithm has been developed jointly at UC Berkeley and Google, and we have been using it internally for our robotics experiment.
Like its predecessor, JackRabbot 2 is learning how to navigate safely through spaces occupied by people, following the rules of human etiquette. What it learns could help it move comfortably among us in the future.
Future cars will be both self-driving and manual. "We wanted to harness technology to enhance drivers’ skills without interfering with the enjoyment of being behind the wheel," explains José del R. Millán, who holds the Defitech Foundation Chair in Brain-Machine Interface (CNBI).
Circuit elements that store information in their electrical resistances enable a brain-like form of computing, storing and processing information in the same place.
