Amazon Unveils First Fully Autonomous Mobile Robot Called Proteus
The autonomous robot will initially be deployed in the outbound GoCart handling areas of Amazonâs fulfillment and sort centers. âOur vision is to automate GoCart handling throughout the network, which will help reduce the need for people to manually move heavy objects through our facility and instead let them focus on more rewarding work,â the company said.
Celebrating 10 years of robotic evolution, Amazon unveiled several more automated systems. Cardinal (Opens in a new window) is an AI-based robot arm that can select one package out of a pile of boxes, lift it, read the label, and place it on the appropriate GoCart (for Proteus to collect). Amazon is currently trialing a Cardinal prototype for handling packages up to 50 pounds and expects to deploy the technology in fulfillment centers next year.
Nvidiaâs New AI Model can Convert still Images to 3D Graphics
View insights.
Nvidia has made another attempt to add depth to shallow graphics. After converting 2D images into 3D scenes, models, and videos, the company has turned its focus to editing. The GPU giant today unveiled a new AI method that transforms still photos into 3D objects that creators can modify with ease. Nvidia researchers have developed a new inverse rendering pipeline, Nvidia 3D MoMa that allows users to reconstruct a series of still photos into a 3D computer model of an object, or even a scene. The key benefit of this workflow, compared to more traditional photogrammetry methods, is its ability to output clean 3D models capable of being imported and edited out-of-the-box by 3D gaming and visual engines.
According to reports, other photogrammetry programs will turn 2D images into 3D models, Nvidiaâs 3D MoMa technology takes it a step further by producing mesh, material, and lighting information of the subjects and outputting it in a format thatâs compatible with existing 3D graphics engines and modeling tools. And itâs all done in a relatively short timeframe, with Nvidia saying 3D MoMa can generate triangle mesh models within an hour using a single Nvidia Tensor Core GPU.
David Luebke, Nvidiaâs VP of graphics research, describes the technique with India Today as âa holy grail unifying computer vision and computer graphics.â

Youâre on PRO Robots and in this issue weâre going to talk about the best military drones of the 21st century. Today, more than 100 countries are developing military drones, constantly innovating to make them faster, more powerful and smarter. Drones are used for reconnaissance, surveillance, target detection, munitions delivery, and enemy strikes. The vehicles can fly autonomously or be operated by an operator, return to the base or play the role of a kamikaze. See an overview of the best military drones and trends in the development of combat drones in one video!

High Energy Lasers
Raytheon Intelligence & Spaceâs high-energy laser systems use photons, or particles of light, to carry out military missions and civil defense. This directed energy technology enables detection of threats, tracking during maneuvers, and positive visual identification to defeat a wide range of threats, including unmanned aerial systems, rockets, artillery and mortars.
Raytheon Intelligence & Spaceâs laser solutions are a set of technologies that use photons, or particles of light, to carry out military missions. They measure distance, designate targets and can defeat a wide range of threats, including UAS.
Newly developed optical microphone sees sound like never before
A camera system developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers can see sound vibrations with such precision and detail that it can reconstruct the music of a single instrument in a band or orchestra.
Even the most high-powered and directed microphones canât eliminate nearby sounds, ambient noise and the effect of acoustics when they capture audio. The novel system developed in the School of Computer Scienceâs Robotics Institute (RI) uses two cameras and a laser to sense high-speed, low-amplitude surface vibrations. These vibrations can be used to reconstruct sound, capturing isolated audio without inference or a microphone.
âWeâve invented a new way to see sound,â said Mark Sheinin, a post-doctoral research associate at the Illumination and Imaging Laboratory (ILIM) in the RI. âItâs a new type of camera system, a new imaging device, that is able to see something invisible to the naked eye.â

Brain wave-scanning helmet developed by scientists to help Chinese censors better detect porn
Oh joy. Iâd ask snarkaly what could possibly go wrong, but in this case going right IS going wrong, so⊠đ€Ż
Chinese scientists have reportedly developed and tested a device that aims to help online censors better police pornography in the country.
Researchers at Beijing Jiaotong University in China created a helmet that can track the brain waves of its wearers. The scientists published their findings in the domestic peer-reviewed Journal of Electronic Measurement and Instrumentation earlier this month.
In China, where watching porn is illegal, the government employs mostly women as so-called porn appraisers, or âjian huang shi,â who screen online photo and video content. These human censors make use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) to help them in flagging explicit content faster.
