Thanks to rapid advances in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, smart machines that would have once been relegated to works of science-fiction are now a part of our reality.
Read MoreEsko Bionics’ exoskeletons are able to assist employees with passive assistance in arm support from 5 to 15 pounds. Still far from the exoskeleton capabilities in Matt Damon’s Elysium but this is an amazing start!
Read MoreIt began with something TV viewers of the 21st Century can still identify with – anger over the adverts.
In the 1950s in the US, Zenith Electronics president Eugene F McDonald gave the company’s engineers a challenge: he hated having to sit through adverts. He wanted a device that could let him mute them, or skip to another channel (…where hopefully something other than adverts were playing).
Read MoreWith robots and machines set to double within a decade, there are more jobs to be created than replaced!
Read MoreTesla isn’t the only company focusing on electric vehicles. But instead of luxury cars, Ohio-based Workhorse builds electric delivery vans, and it’s developing an extended-range electric pickup truck called the W-15. The company is also working on drone delivery, and a human-piloted aircraft called the SureFly that looks like a cross between a drone and a conventional helicopter.
Read MoreBy equipping a smart, connected product with more sensors, a company can get a broader view of how a product functions (including real-time insights), open new ways to improve its performance (in real time as well) and more. However, it’s not enough just to add new sensors to the existing ones to improve visibility into the state and performance of these products. As the number of sensors increases, the volume of the data coming from these sensors will grow as well—and such a situation needs a specific approach to establishing all the big data-related processes: data ingesting, storing, processing and analyzing.
Read MoreWith a bionic eye, superhuman eyesight is now possible! To top that off, this bionic eye can also restore eyesight to the blind. With a few more tweaks and problem solving, we might be able to see these in the future to come.
Read MoreSoon, the Barrier Reef will have its own robotic protector. Introducing the autonomous drone RangerBot! It is a multipurpose machine that can extend itself even further than a human diver and at half the cost.
Read MoreThe new advancement in camera technology with lens free camera has opened new doors for more technology! With this advancement, many glass surfaces could be turned into cameras, such as windows of autonomous vehicles.
Read MoreCinema camera company RED’s first smartphone has been promising big features since last summer, but despite pre-orders already being underway, few official details have been available on the smartphone outside of the holographic display.
Read MoreNASA is considering an astronaut crewed along with SpaceX’s fuel rockets. Before the approval, SpaceX must successfully demonstrate their process 5 times first.
Read MoreHANDSFREE CHARGING. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a lot going for them. They’re better for the environment than their gas-guzzling predecessors; they can save nations billions of dollars in healthcare costs. Some even look pretty cool.
Read MoreThere will be as many as 40 million charging points globally by 2030 as electric vehicles are forecast to make up about 11% of new sales, a new report states.
Read MoreSomething unusual is happening on farms in the small Central American nation of El Salvador. Many fields, mainly of sugar cane, are now being tended by drones.
Read MoreThe future transportation will take us to newer heights in terms of presenting new solutions for our every day use and of course, with better speed and efficiency
Read MoreWhen you try to reverse engineer the secret sauce for a wildly successful new product, you probably don’t start by wondering how the procurement team worked its magic. Engineering and marketing get all the glory when the latest gizmo becomes a customer favorite. As consumer expectations for quality, innovation, ethics, and cost continue to rise, new products are critical to competitive advantage. And procurement is often the critical component to getting that product to market.
Read MoreIf you’re in electronics, you know that the Internet of Things (IoT) is huge. From consumer products to industrial applications, IoT is transforming the way we interact with the physical and digital world. And supply chain is no different. A discipline that was once plagued by guesswork and firefighting is now stepping into the modern era, as IoT technologies are giving supply chain managers access to a new level of visibility into their in-transit goods.
Read MoreAn experimental robot assistant for astronauts will redefine work at the International Space Station, and its IBM-powered brain is available for terrestrial jobs, too.
Read MoreWith the rise of e-commerce and the shipping standards set by Amazon, customers now have rising expectations on global delivery. Retailers and couriers are embracing this challenge, using automation and technology to make supply chain logistics faster, easier, and compatible with the 21st century.
Meet Versius. Versius is expected to be in operating rooms by the end of 2018 to assist surgeons with keyhole procedures. This could possibly lower the need for open surgery and cut down a surgeons keyhole surgery learning curve from 50-60 hours to only 30 minutes!
