Elon Musk showed a humanoid robot
Tesla showed the Optimus robot and the Dojo supercomputer at the AI Day 2022 presentation. The company also shared achievements in the field of unmanned driving.
humanoid robot equipped many sensors used in Tesla drones, and is able to learn actions from people. The android can carry boxes and water flowers, and the presence of movable fingers allows you to grab small objects.
Elon Musk said the company plans to produce robots in “millions of units” for less than $20,000 each.
The supercomputer is expected to enhance Tesla’s ability to train neural networks on video data. This is critical to the computer vision technology that is the backbone of the company’s drones.
According to Electricthe latest version of Dojo was so powerful that during the presentation it turned off the power grid in Palo Alto.
At the Musk event declaredthat the beta version of the Full Self-Driving autonomous driving system is used by 160,000 people. The company also talked about a number of improvements, including the ability of FSD to make “human” decisions.
By the end of 2022, the technology will be ready for global deployment, Musk said. However, he noted that there are still problems with testing the system and its approval by regulators.
GE cleared to operate AI-MRI
GE Healthcare Company received OK FDA on the use of artificial intelligence software for MRI.
AIR Recon DL enhances image quality with deep learning technology. The software removes image noise and preserves fine details, eliminating the need for repeated scans to make a diagnosis in certain cases.
Drone drug delivery launched in the US
Zipline and Intermountain Healthcare Companies launched delivery of medicines by drones in Salt Lake City (USA).
Devices weighing about 20 kg have the appearance of a fixed-wing mini-aircraft. The drones are constantly collecting information about the environment, including wind speed and direction, to drop packages within a target area the size of a couple of parking spaces.
Drones operate autonomously, but if necessary, they can be controlled by a remote operator.
Initially, the companies will deploy five drones that will deliver medicines to patients at home. By 2027, Zipline plans to expand its drone fleet to serve more than 1 million customers.
Facebook allows users to mark interesting and uninteresting posts
Social network Facebook allowed users to choose posts they want to see more often.
The developers have added “Show more” and “Show less” buttons to the posts of friends, groups and pages, as well as to the recommended content. In the first case, users will increase the rating of the post and similar ones in their feed for 60 days, and in the second case, they will lower it.
At first, the platform will “periodically” display settings under some posts and Reels, but later they will become available for all content.
Facebook is also testing a feature to choose how many posts to view from friends and family, groups, pages, and public figures. The user will be able to specify the frequency of displaying content in the feed for each item: “normal”, “less”, or “more”.
Meta said the feedback will help make the social network’s AI systems “smarter and more responsive.”
Nvidia has increased the performance of unreleased AI chips
Nvidia company raised performance of H100 server accelerators based on the Hopper architecture. Chip shipments will begin in the first quarter of 2023.
According to the developers, the performance of the H100 SXM in double precision operations has increased from 30 to 34 teraflops, and in single precision operations – from 60 to 67 teraflops. It follows from this that the GPU with 16,896 CUDA cores will receive a higher clock speed than previously planned.
The company also updated data on the performance of accelerators in operations INT8, FP8, FP16 and BFLOT16. The indicators have slightly decreased relative to the old values.
The first smart home standard introduced
Connection Standards Alliance introduced the Matter 1.0 specification for smart home systems. The organization also launched a product certification program.
The technology is based on a combination of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE and Thread’s mesh network, and aims to simplify the production of smart gadgets. The standard allows you to combine different services and use voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri.
Matter 1.0 is supported by some smart home devices, including lighting, HVACsensors, door locks and multimedia gadgets.
AI taught to detect brain cancer by a drop of blood
Canadian explorers created an ultra-sensitive AI biosensor capable of detecting brain cancer by a drop of blood.
The device consists of nanolayers of nickel oxide and nickel on a nickel chip. Using five microliters of blood, the biosensor is able to detect tumor-produced nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, and generate a type of molecular fingerprint for each sample.
The neural network then analyzes these unique profiles to detect malignancies and provide more detailed data.
During testing, the biosensor was able to distinguish a brain tumor from breast, lung and colon cancer with 100% specificity and sensitivity. The system also helped to determine in which of the nine parts of the brain the neoplasm is located, with an accuracy of 96%.
Thousands of Australians left without power due to drone
A drone from Alphabet’s Wing de-energized home to more than 2,000 residents of Browns Plains (Australia).
During the delivery of the package, the drone crashed into power lines, caught fire and fell to the ground. The company said it was a “precautionary controlled landing.”
As a result of the accident, about 2,000 subscribers were left without electricity for 45 minutes, and another 300 for three hours.
Electricity company Energex said it found no permanent damage to the grid, so Wing is not required to be held responsible for any repairs.
Robops was taught to move in an unknown area
A team of researchers led by the University of California at San Diego has developed a system of algorithms that allows four-legged robots to move in the wild.
Equipped with the presented program, devices can walk and run through difficult terrain, avoiding static and moving obstacles. To do this, the researchers combined computer vision with proprioceptionwhich includes touch and sense of movement, direction, speed and location.
Using algorithms, the system uses data from the depth camera on the head of the device and sensors on its legs. According to the researchers, this has become a difficult task, since information from two different sensors does not always arrive at the same time.
During testing, the system autonomously controlled the robops and helped it quickly maneuver over sand, gravel, grass, and bumpy earthen mounds covered with branches and fallen leaves without bumping into poles, trees, bushes, boulders, benches, or people.
Bruce Willis rep denies reports selling actor’s likeness to deepfake firm
Bruce Willis agent refuted selling the rights to create a digital twin of a star to AI startup Deepcake.
According to him, the actor “did not have any partnerships or agreements” with the company.
Deepcake stated that “only Bruce Willis has the rights to the face of Bruce Willis.”
Earlier media reported that the actor sold the rights to create its digital twin to the American AI startup Deepcake.
The most important AI deals of the last week
From October 2 to October 8, 2022, AI startups raised over $200 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.
- Creators of AI platform for supply chain transparency Altana got $100 million
- Security attracted $75 million to support a cloud data protection service.
- Xembly collected $15 million to develop an AI assistant for corporate meetings.
- Gather AI attracted $10 million to deploy drones to scan inventory.
