Robots That Can Chat

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

An extremely cool application of large language models in combination with other AI tools such as models for text-to-speech and speech-to-text, image recognition and captioning, etc.


We created a robot tour guide using Spot integrated with Chat GPT and other AI models to explore the robotics applications of foundational models.

Samsung’s 20-year-life EV battery runs 600 miles on 9-minute charge

Posted by in categories: energy, sustainability, transportation

The “super premium” segment here implies a driving range of around 600 miles per charge. In addition, Samsung will be introducing high-nickel NCS products for the premium segment.

Samsung’s oxide solid-state battery technology boasts an energy density of 500 Wh/kg, nearly double the 270 Wh/kg density of mainstream EV batteries.

Researchers trap atoms, force them to serve as photonic transistors

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

This could be the road to quantum computation.


“In contrast, solid-state emitters embedded in a photonic circuit are hardly ‘the same’ due to slightly different surroundings influencing each emitter. It is much harder for many solid-state emitters to build up phase coherence and collectively interact with photons like cold atoms. We could use cold atoms trapped on the circuit to study new collective effects,” Hung continues.

The platform demonstrated in this research could provide a photonic link for future distributed quantum computing based on neutral atoms. It could also serve as a new experimental platform for studying collective light-matter interactions and for synthesizing quantum degenerate trapped gases or ultracold molecules.
