UiPath today introduced the next generation of the UiPath Automation Platform. The platform features new low-code capabilities that extend RPA from automating existing tasks to easily creating new business applications fast. These features, along with expanded cloud robot deployment options, are designed to make it faster to deploy enterprise automation solutions that bring people, robots, and systems together.

Intelligent automation in Asia-Pacific (APAC) is on the rise. Both artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA) are gaining significance across key countries in the region, according to the report “Technology Advancements Transforming the Asia-Pacific Intelligent Automation Market, 2020-2024” by ResearchAndMarkets.com.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed a new method that brings physics into the machine learning process to make better predictions on turbulence. Deep learning reproduces data to model problem scenarios and offer solutions. However, some problems in physics, like turbulence, are unknown or cannot be represented in detail mathematically on a computer.

U.S. military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams will use the FLIR Centaur ground robot to help disarm improvised explosive devices, unexploded ordnance, and to perform similar hazardous tasks. Operators can quickly attach different sensors and payloads to the robot to address other missions, including chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats

PerceptIn today unveiled the micro-Robot taxi Mopi (Mobility service by PerceptIn)  at Mizukubo, Tenno ward, Hamamatsu city. This first public road operation is supported by Hamamatsu City and Macnica, based on the technology developed by PerceptIn.

A multi-center U.S. trial shows exoskeleton training is safe, feasible, and effective across wide spectrum of individuals with mobility deficits caused by traumatic spinal cord injury

A new machine learning algorithm, developed with Army funding, can isolate patterns in brain signals that relate to a specific behavior and then decode it, potentially providing Soldiers with behavioral-based feedback.

Leveraging their strong expertise in network analysis and machine learning, scientists analysed a large 700 Gigabyte dataset of three-dimensional mitochondrial images of colonic neurons, collected from PD patients and healthy controls, and dopaminergic neurons for future diagnostic advances in Parkinson’s disease.

As adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the transportation industry continues to slowly grow, Gartner recommends that transportation CIOs follow a four-step process to ensure success with AI projects. Many transportation companies recognise AI as a game-changing technology, however some barriers to adoption still exist.

Scientists at Osaka University develop a label-free method for identifying respiratory viruses based on changes in electrical current when they pass through silicon nanopores, which may lead to new rapid COVID-19 tests.
