How risk-averse are humans when interacting with robots?

How risk-averse are humans when interacting with robots?

How do people like to interact with robots when navigating a crowded environment? And what algorithms should roboticists use to program robots to interact with humans? These are the questions that a team of mechanical engineers and computer scientists at the University of California San Diego sought to answer in a study presented recently at the ICRA 2024 conference in Japan. "To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating robots that infer human perception of risk for intelligent decision-making in everyday settings," said Aamodh Suresh, first author of the study, who earned his Ph.D. in the research group of…

How the IoT World Can Tap Into the True Power of the SIM Card

How the IoT World Can Tap Into the True Power of the SIM Card

The ubiquity of the Internet of Things (IoT) is now undeniable. 39.6 billion connected devices are expected to be in use globally by 2033, according to Statista. This staggering explosion of interconnected devices across industries, from manufacturing to smart cities and more, drives a strong demand for a new era of SIM cards. Traditional SIM cards, designed for voice and data plans on mobile phones, are no longer sufficient for the unique needs of IoT devices. These devices often require lower power consumption, smaller form factors, as well as more secure and flexible connectivity solutions. Since IoT devices require fast data…

These new WhatsApp TV ads tell you a lot about the company’s growth plans

These new WhatsApp TV ads tell you a lot about the company’s growth plans

That's a reasonable question, but if you go looking for answers in Meta's financials, you won't find many: The company blends WhatsApp's metrics with those from Instagram and Facebook, so there's very little specific data available.

That's where Meta has started running ads promoting the messaging platform, using the cast of "Modern Family," the long-running sitcom.This isn't the first time Meta has advertised WhatsApp on…

How BRIA AI used distributed training in Amazon SageMaker to train latent diffusion foundation models for commercial use | Amazon Web Services

How BRIA AI used distributed training in Amazon SageMaker to train latent diffusion foundation models for commercial use | Amazon Web Services

This post is co-written with Bar Fingerman from BRIA AI. This post explains how BRIA AI trained BRIA AI 2.0, a high-resolution (1024×1024) text-to-image diffusion model, on a dataset comprising petabytes of licensed images quickly and economically. Amazon SageMaker training jobs and Amazon SageMaker distributed training libraries took on the undifferentiated heavy lifting associated with infrastructure management. SageMaker helps you build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models for your use cases with fully managed infrastructure, tools, and workflows. BRIA AI is a pioneering platform specializing in responsible and open generative artificial intelligence (AI) for developers, offering advanced models exclusively trained…
