…Ventures was founded in 2009 by Kai-Fu Lee, who developed a continuous speech-recognition system for his doctoral thesis at Carnegie Mellon University and who later led Microsoft Research Asia and Google China. “MegaRobo's technology increases efficiency in production automation,” stated Dr. Ingo Ramesohl, managing director at RBVC. “Already today, robots from MegaRobo are used for special applications in the end-of-line production of household appliances at Bosch. Beyond these applications, we see many other opportunities for cooperation between MegaRobo and Bosch.”

…even delay maintenance.” Thanks to Near Earth's connections with Carnegie Mellon University, it has access to a large set of algorithms, Foessel said. “We partner and integrate,” he said. “There are two ways to become relevant in data analytics. One is to be a Google or AWS that has shown performance in vertical after vertical, or you can control the tools that gather the data, such as autonomous drones. By optimizing the flight path, you can gather quality, complete, and frequent data.” Regulations and full autonomy While the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration now issues Part 107 waivers for beyond visual…

The Richard King Mellon Foundation today announced that it has approved a $150 million grant to Carnegie Mellon University, the largest single grant in the foundation's 74-year history. The longtime partners said the investment will support the university's science and technology leadership, contribute to Pittsburgh's ongoing economic renaissance, and provide a more vibrant future for the Hazelwood neighborhood. The first $75 million of the grant is the lead gift for a new cutting-edge science building on the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The second $75 million will seed a new robotics innovation center and…

…The company was founded in 2016 by roboticists from Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University and is a resident member of MassRobotics. AR said Scout is a fully automated drone system capable of continuous, unattended operation. It is offered as a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data solution service under a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January approved Scout as the first system for automated beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations with no humans on-site. The company said this approval gives it an exclusive first-mover advantage to unlock the commercial drone market by overcoming the need for costly…

…that, Glover completed his B.S. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University, where he led a team developing robotic walkers. He has 20 years of research experience in robotics and computer vision and more than 500 paper citations. Glover is also on the boards of the Pittsburgh Robotics Network and the Catalyst Connection, a private non-profit that provides consulting and training services to small manufacturers in southwestern Pennsylvania. During his ARM Institute fellowship, Glover will work on the “Autonomous Robot Workspace Modeling with an Arm-Mounted 3D Camera” project. It aims to help small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) adopt robotic technologies…

…soft robotics research, Hawkes and colleagues Carmel Majidi from Carnegie Mellon University and Michael T. Tolley of UC San Diego have published their viewpint in the journal Science Robotics. Explosion of interest in soft robotics “We were looking at publication data for soft robotics and noticed a phase of explosive growth over the last decade,” Hawkes said. “We became curious about trends like this in new fields, and how new fields take root.” More than a century ago, soft pneumatic tires replaced solid wheels, and the technology remains to this day.

NVIDIA supports self-driving vehicle development Huang said that NVIDIA DRIVE Orin, a computing system on a chip (SoC) expected to go into production next year, will be the central brain of autonomous vehicles. Volvo Cars said it will use NVIDIA DRIVE Orin in its next-generation XC90 vehicles. NVIDIA claimed that DRIVE Atlan will be a “data center on wheels” and be able to perform more than 1,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS). “Atlan will be a technical marvel –…

Carnegie Mellon University Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) Ph.D. student Prithvi Acharya and his advisor, Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Scott Matthews, teamed up with EPP’s Paul Fischbeck. They have created a new method for identifying over-emitting vehicles using remote data transmission and machine learning that would be less expensive and more effective than current inspection/maintenance (I/M) programs, according to the university. In an attempt to eliminate unnecessary costs and improve the effectiveness of I/M programs, Acharya, Matthews and Fischbeck published their recent study in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Their new method entails sending data directly from the vehicle…

…fingerprints. In yet another 3D printing security-related research effort, Carnegie Mellon University has come up with the Connected 3D Printer Observer (C3PO), which identifies a printer’s security vulnerabilities as well as potential attack paths based on given vulnerabilities and network deployment. Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in partnership with Rutgers University, has developed a three-layer system that uses acoustic measurements, printer component tracking and detectable nanorods to protect the integrity of printed products. While there are many possibilities for securing 3D printing, the bottom line is there is no singular solution. Rather, it will take…
