Simulation can help engineers overcome these challenges. Rather than tweaking the AI model’s architecture and parameters, it has been shown that time spent improving the training data can often yield more extensive improvements in accuracy.

Father son duo Jim and Andrew Kazmer build and drive one of the most exciting and best supported robots at NHRL in Project Liftoff.

They’ve further developed this into a second bot in Flip n Cut with a variation in weapon type and have pushed the limits of innovation with their fully autonomous combat robot DeepMelt.

Around 38% of the world’s total landmass is used for agriculture – yet hunger is worsening, and food security is in crisis, threatened by pressures including climate change, conflict and global recessions.

While there’s no one-stop solution, technology can help to fill some of the gaps. Mechanical engineer Josie Hughes is on a mission to show how robotics can play a role in our everyday lives, particularly when it comes to food. Starting with LEGO robots as a child, the Cambridge graduate now leads the Computational Robot Design & Fabrication Lab (CREATE) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), where she’s one of the youngest researchers to join as a tenure-track assistant professor.

One of her innovations, a raspberry-picking robot powered by artificial intelligence, could help make farming more efficient and cost-effective, and solve labor shortages – which in the UK alone left £60 million ($74 million) worth of fruit and vegetables rotting in fields this summer. CNN spoke with Hughes about her research, and when robots might be harvesting your next meal.

Apple is working on an online search engine to rival Google amid wider improvements to Spotlight search, according to a recent report from The Information.

The report explains that Apple’s work on search technology is facing setbacks amid a loss of talent to Google. In 2018, Apple sought to bolster development of its own web search engine by buying machine learning startup Laserlike, which was founded by three former Google search engineers. The company’s technology recommended websites based on a user’s interests and browsing history. Now, Laserlike’s founders have reportedly returned to Google.

As artificial intelligence and automation technologies continue to improve, they will become more important in driving the growth of new industries that are based on data.

Artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and problem-solving. AI systems are typically designed to be able to learn from experience, adapt to new inputs, and improve their performance over time.

Automation, on the other hand, refers to the use of technology to automate tasks that were previously performed by humans. This can include everything from simple tasks like data entry to more complex tasks like driving a car or managing a supply chain. Automation can be powered by a variety of technologies, including AI, robotics, and machine learning.
