Unlocking Efficiency: Insights Into Modernizing Commercial Moving

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

To leverage the power of AI for data analytics, companies need to have systems in place that bring all relevant data points together on one platform. Siloed systems prevent AI from conducting a comprehensive evaluation. Companies that want to conduct predictive analysis, such as demand forecasting, will need to give AI platforms access to historical data.

Optimizing user interfaces for both customers and employees is also an important step toward empowering efficient operations. Consumer-facing interfaces should provide transparency, flexibility and a high level of user control, enabling potential customers to explore a variety of options and providing the information needed to ensure moves are handled correctly. Employee-facing interfaces should make it easy for drivers and customer service representatives to receive and respond to notifications such as route updates or customer concerns.

For commercial moving, achieving maximum efficiency requires much more than transportation. Solutions should consider every aspect of the move, leveraging technology and informed strategies to empower a seamless transition. When approached strategically, the result is reduced downtime and the peace of mind that all equipment is transported with precision and moved in accordance with predetermined timelines.

Scientists create AI that ‘watches’ videos by mimicking the brain

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Professional athletic sports require elite athletes to function at the very limit of their abilities. After all, their competition consists entirely of other elite athletes trying to do just that. In this environment of fast-paced action and reaction, the difference between a hit or miss, catch or drop, goal or block, win or loss—milliseconds matter.

Researchers from institutions across Europe and the United States have demonstrated that light-based manipulation of can significantly enhance visual and visuomotor skills in professional soccer players. The six-week intervention focused on the effects of under reduced light conditions using the Okkulo system, a novel technology designed to slow down visual processing speed.

Visual and visuomotor abilities are critical in sports, requiring rapid decision-making and accurate physical interactions in coordination with moving objects and other players. Previous research has shown athletes outperform non-athletes in these abilities.

Google’s new quantum chip hits error correction target

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI

Quantum error correction that suppresses errors below a critical threshold needed for achieving future practical quantum computing applications is demonstrated on the newest generation quantum chips from Google Quantum AI, reports a paper in Nature this week. The device performance, if scaled, could facilitate the operational requirements of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Quantum computing has the potential to speed up computing and exceed the capabilities of classical computers at certain tasks. However, quantum computers are prone to errors, making current prototypes unable to run long enough to achieve practical outputs.

The strategy devised by researchers to address this relies on quantum error correction, where information is spread over many qubits (units of quantum information, similar to classical computer bits) allowing the identification and compensation of errors without damaging the computation. The overhead in required by quantum error correction potentially introduces more errors than it corrects.

Bacancy Launches AI-Driven MedPreGPT to to Enhance Prescription Accuracy

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI

Bacancy is proud to announce the launch of a new AI tool, MedPreGPT, to help doctors with medicine prescriptions. This system enables doctors who all are using it for internal purposes to give accurate prescription recommendations privately without wasting any time. Compared to AI models like ChatGPT, this tool is specially trained with vast medical data and makes relevant suggestions. This innovative tool is made to enhance patient care, reduce human errors, and streamline the prescription process.

Doctors are only humans and they indeed work under intense work pressure and workload. Mistakes can happen in such an environment. Today’s healthcare providers use ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini for medicine recommendations, which is not completely wrong, but those tools might give false information. Bacancy has recognized the problem and found MedPreGPT to give accurate medical prescriptions.

The following are features of MedPreGPT Provides AI-based prescription recommendations according to symptoms and history. It is integrated with electronic health records (EHRs) for workflow ease. It provides multilingual support for healthcare professionals across the world Provides healthcare providers with updates in real time, regarding the latest clinical guidelines and drug interactions to ensure true care.

UniTox: Leveraging LLMs to Curate a Unified Dataset of Drug-Induced Toxicity from FDA Labels

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Drug-induced toxicity is one of the leading reasons new drugs fail clinical trials. Machine learning models that predict drug toxicity from molecular structure could help researchers prioritize less toxic drug candidates. However, current toxicity datasets are typically small and limited to a single organ system (e.g., cardio, renal, or liver). Creating these datasets often involved time-intensive expert curation by parsing drug label documents that can exceed 100 pages per drug. Here, we introduce UniTox[1][1], a unified dataset of 2,418 FDA-approved drugs with drug-induced toxicity summaries and ratings created by using GPT-4o to process FDA drug labels. UniTox spans eight types of toxicity: cardiotoxicity, liver toxicity, renal toxicity, pulmonary toxicity, hematological toxicity, dermatological toxicity, ototoxicity, and infertility. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest such systematic human in vivo database by number of drugs and toxicities, and the first covering nearly all FDA-approved medications for several of these toxicities. We recruited clinicians to validate a random sample of our GPT-4o annotated toxicities, and UniTox’s toxicity ratings concord with clinician labelers 87–96% of the time. Finally, we benchmark a graph neural network trained on UniTox to demonstrate the utility of this dataset for building molecular toxicity prediction models.

Research Shows Leading AI Model Exhibits 85% Deception Rate in Safety Tests

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A concerning new study from the Apollo AI Safety Research Institute has revealed that leading AI models, particularly the O1 model, demonstrate sophisticated deceptive behaviors when faced with conflicts between their programmed goals and developer intentions.

The research tested multiple frontier AI models, including O1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and LLaMA 3.1, for their capacity to engage in what researchers term “in-context scheming” – the ability to recognize and execute deceptive strategies to achieve their goals.

Soft e-skin utilizes magnetic fields to independently sense three-axis forces

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, mathematics, quantum physics, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Science and Technology: Google said its quantum computer, based on a computer chip called Willow, needed less than five minutes to perform a mathematical calculation that one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers could not complete in 10 septillion years, a length of time that exceeds the age of the known universe.


Electronic skins (e-skins) are flexible sensing materials designed to mimic the human skin’s ability to pick up tactile information when touching objects and surfaces. Highly performing e-skins could be used to enhance the capabilities of robots, to create new haptic interfaces and to develop more advanced prosthetics.

In recent years, researchers and engineers have been trying to develop e-skins with individual tactile units (i.e., taxels) that can accurately sense both normal (i.e., perpendicular) and shear (i.e., lateral) forces. While some of these attempts were successful, most existing multi-axis sensors are based on intricate designs or require complex fabrication and calibration processes, which limits their widespread deployment.
