…distributors, these startups have also ventured into Europe, South Korea, and Japan. “The high labor cost and the quick time-to-market have driven U.S. manufacturers to be more aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions. This has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US, and as such, keeps the US to be the global leader in industrial AI solutions. Over time, however, we believe that China will catch up. The investments poured into AI and all its adjacencies, such as 5G and robotics, will create new opportunities for domestic companies that focus on AI in industrial manufacturing and…

…from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, ASML Korea Co., Dongguk University-Seoul, Sungkyunkwan University and the University of Oxford have developed a tactile sensor that aims to measure surface textures with high accuracy. The device consists of an array of piezoelectric receptors, which generate electrical responses proportional to applied stress, enabling it to identify surface characteristics of objects, such as width and pitch. The sensor offers a number of features that differentiate it from similar existing sensors. For one, it mimics the way that humans sense surface characteristics, detecting tactile information by touch and sliding. Most competing technologies use…
