In the quest to uncover the fundamental particles and forces of nature, one of the critical challenges facing high-energy experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is ensuring the quality of the vast amounts of data collected. To do this, data quality monitoring systems are in place for the various subdetectors of an experiment and they play an important role in checking the accuracy of the data.

When I was a kid I always had to mow the lawn, and not with those ones you ride like a toy.

/PRNewswire/ — Intelligent robotics brand MOWRATOR is targeting the North American market. MOWRATOR will launch the world’s first battery-powered all-in-one remote control robotic lawn mower, S1, globally in early 2024. MOWRATOR S1 debuted at the GIE Landscaping Equip Expo trade show in October 2023, followed by the Orlando Makers Faire in November 2023. MOWRATOR S1 received enthusiastic feedback from industry partners, landscaping professionals, and homeowners. Attendees were impressed by MOWRATOR S1’s all-metal frame with its 21 steel blade, autopilot L2 cruise control and U-turn, and one-button auto-dumping mechanism. Furthermore, MOWRATOR S1 also developed more modules to meet autumn leaf vacuum and other yard care needs, unique from the market’s standard remote control lawn mower.

Artificial intelligence could help speedily summarize research. But it comes with risks.

Embracing the paradigm shift of agentic AI could lead to massive advancements in healthcare as we know it.

St. Peter’s Basilica, a major pilgrimage site, receives around 15 million visitors annually. It is renowned for its Renaissance and Baroque architecture, with contributions from famous artists like Michelangelo and Bernini.

The Fabbrica di San Pietro, a Catholic institution responsible for the conservation and maintenance of St. Peter’s Basilica, has partnered with Microsoft to create a “digital twin” of the Basilica. This ultra-precise virtual reconstruction allows pilgrims and visitors to explore the structure virtually.

To execute this project, Microsoft collaborated with Iconem, a leader in digital preservation known for creating 3D replicas of the world’s most famous historical landmarks and archaeological sites. Microsoft used Azure, photogrammetry, and AI to create an ultra-precise virtual reconstruction of St. Peter’s Basilica.

C round was co-led by Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, Adobe Ventures, B Capital, Citi Ventures, IBM Ventures, and Workday Ventures.

501 likes, — growasentrepreneurs on September 13, 2024: Nvidia’s Blackwell chip is an engineering marvel, crafted from two of the largest chips ever made using TSMC’s 4-nanometer process. It took $10 billion and 3 years to develop, supported by high-speed networking, software, and incredible I/O capabilities.

This chip powers AI factories in data centers, designed to emulate human intelligence—specifically how we read, finish sentences, and summarize information.

Jensen Huang compares it to the intelligence of thousands of people, showcasing Blackwell’s potential to revolutionize AI in an unprecedented way.

It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today’s AI technology.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Stanford University have taught a robot surgical system to perform a bunch of surgical tasks as capably as human doctors, simply by training it on videos of those procedures.
