The Founder of Hanson Robotics Dr. David Hanson presented next-level AI robots that have an uncanny similarity to humans, both inside and out, in Amsterdam on Saturday. Hanson presented two robots named 'Sophia' and 'Professor Einstein' that are programmed with the most advanced artificial intelligence, which aims to make the robots 'truly alive.'
Artificial intelligence can bring even greater precision to controlling highly sensitive systems in automotive production, as a pilot project in the paint shop of the BMW Group’s Munich plant has demonstrated.Despite state-of-the-art filtration technology, the content of finest dust particles in paint lines varies depending on the ambient air drawn in. If the dust content exceeded the threshold, the still wet paint could trap particles, thus visually impairing the painted surface.
Data analytics and artificial intelligence ensure more quality and precision, whether in sports or in production. At the BMW Group, technology supports people. Now and in the future.
The press shop at the BMW Group’s home plant in Munich turns more than 30,000 blanks a day into vehicle body parts. Since 2019 each blank has been given a laser code at the start of production so the body part can be clearly identified throughout. This code is picked up by the iQ Press system, which records material and process parameters – such as the thickness of the metal and oil layer, and the temperature and speed of the presses. The parameters are then related to the quality of the parts produced.Uploaded to the cloud in real time, the data is immediately available in its entirety for the production team to gain a clearer picture of the manufacturing process. iQ Press data is an important tool for them, as it eliminates the need for each body part to be checked in minute detail, in quality control for example, and picks out only irregularities that require action.Artificial intelligence also offers potential to identify recurring patterns in a process, based on the data collected, to support continuous optimisation. So, as well as improving the efficiency of production systems, iQ Press helps to further increase hourly output from the press shop.
Alibaba Group CEO Jack Ma and Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev participated in a plenary session on digital economy at the 2017 Moscow International Forum 'Open Innovations', in the Russian capital on Tuesday. The CEO of the largest Internet company in Asia gave his views on the future of work, artificial intelligence, and the growing strategic importance of the Internet to the global economy.
Japanese manufacturing giant Panasonic unveiled Cocotto, the rolling, smiling robot who wants to help you raise your kids, at CEATEC, or the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, in Chiba, Japan on Tuesday. The spherical robot is designed as an "educational companion" for children and is programmed to entertain kids but also to help them form good habits, like brushing teeth, eating, and going to the bathroom.
