New tool promises to fight robocalls
The automated system, dubbed Snorcall, can reportedly characterize the content of robocalls, thereby revealing the scope of the robocall problem as well as associated scams being perpetrated.
OPC UA tunnel increases security for OPC Classic communication
Version 5.30 of DataFEED OPC Suite from Softing Industrial offers two new features: an OPC UA tunnel to increase security for OPC Classic communication plus support for InfluxDB databases.
This robot packs a punch
Qibbot can extend its one arm nearly 5 ft, stands more than 6 ft tall and can be teleoperated.
BinMaster’s new spin on the reliable rotary: BMRX-100 bin level indicator
By alerting to full and empty vessel conditions, this indicator prevents waste and saves time when handling bulk materials stored in bins and silos.
Emerson revolutionizes pressure relief valves for enhanced performance and reduced emissions
Emerson has released two all-new technologies for the Crosby J-Series pressure relief valve (PRV) product line.
The C-Flex bearing solution: A popular choice for motion control
The growing popularity of the C-Flex bearing is not only due to the quality of the product, but also to its adaptation in today’s sustainability efforts.
The pros and cons of telemedicine
Technological advances have made telehealth a simplified process whereby any internet connected device can be used to facilitate most accepted forms of telemedicine which include non-emergency clinical services, administrative support, communications and continued training.
AI model from NYU alters ages of facial images while retaining unique features
The researchers trained a latent diffusion model — a type of generative AI model — to understand how to conduct identity-retaining age transformation.
These robotic arms can pick up individual Pringles
The “Bi-Touch” system of robotic limbs is reportedly directed by AI to “solve tasks even under unexpected perturbations and manipulate delicate objects in a gentle way.”
GEMÜ develops new innovative pulsation damper
Thanks to its full bore design, the GEMÜ 652 does not shut off the media, thus enabling the actual expansion volume to be compensated by the moving diaphragm to dampen as much volume as possible within a specific operating range.
Study: Bots outperform humans at CAPTCHA
Dubbed Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA), this line if defense often involves having human users select from a series of images to identify specific objects in those images.
New AI system to alert us of next pandemic
The so-called early warning anomaly detection (EWAD) system reportedly uses machine learning to analyze virus variants’ genetic sequences, frequencies and mortality rates amid their spread across the world.
These robot medics to go where doctors cannot
Using medical telexistence (MediTel) technology, the robot features two robotic arms and virtual reality (VR) systems that can remotely operate medical tools for assessing the condition of a casualty within 20 minutes.
Robot designed to clean solar panels without water
The cleaning bot is reportedly ideal for dry, arid regions where water is scarce and dust accumulation is high.
Arizona State introduces its sweaty bot
The humanoid robot, dubbed the Advanced Newton Dynamic Instrument, is an outdoor thermal mannequin that can be used to measure how much heat it receives from the environment, and thus how a person might respond to such conditions.
Converting air velocity measurements to volumetric flow rates
Understand the various formulas and technical definitions involved to accurately convert an air velocity measurement to a volumetric flow rate.
Introducing Pibot: An LLM-powered smart robotic pilot
Pibot features articulated arms and fingers for interacting with flight controls as well as camera "eyes" for monitoring both the internal and external conditions of the aircraft.
New 4,000 lb to 7,600 lb XE Series Electric Lithium-Ion Pneumatic Forklift introduced by HCFA
The integrated 80 V lithium-ion forklift features lift speeds, travel speeds, gradeability and ground clearance.
Borebots designed to autonomously and tetherlessly drill Mars
The Planet Enterprises team believes the Borebots will help researchers better understand locations including Mars' south pole to determine the potential for life there, for instance.
Autosampler benefits bioreactor research
The autosampler facilitates sampling 24/7 in short and regular intervals so as to secure complete datasets and reduce the risk for human error.
