MIT engineers design tiny batteries for powering cell-sized robots

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

Engineers have designed a tiny battery, smaller than a grain of sand, to power microscopic robots for jobs such as drug delivery or locating leaks in gas pipelines.


A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks in gas pipelines.

The new battery, which is 0.1 millimeters long and 0.002 millimeters thick — roughly the thickness of a human hair — can capture oxygen from air and use it to oxidize zinc, creating a current with a potential of up to 1 volt. That is enough to power a small circuit, sensor, or actuator, the researchers showed.

Layoff Crisis Hit over 130,000 Employees till August: Expert Highlights Workforce Recovery Scenario

Posted by in categories: employment, robotics/AI

As of August 2024, the global employment landscape is facing significant turbulence, with more than 130,000 employees laid off across nearly 400 companies. Tech giants like Google, IBM, Apple, Amazon, SAP, Meta, and Microsoft have contributed to these staggering figures, indicating a major recalibration within the job market.

According to industry experts, this trend is accelerating as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation prompts companies to streamline operations. Amidst this upheaval, Ramesh Alluri Reddy, CEO of TeamLease Degree Apprenticeship, sheds light on layoffs, workforce reshaping, and the potential for recovery.

Researchers create new method for orchestrating successful collaboration among robots

Posted by in categories: employment, food, robotics/AI

New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst shows that programming robots to create their own teams and voluntarily wait for their teammates results in faster task completion, with the potential to improve manufacturing, agriculture and warehouse automation. The study is published in 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA).

This research was recognized as a finalist for Best Paper Award on Multi-Robot Systems at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2024.

3 Jobs that AI Cannot Replace | Dr. Michio Kaku

Posted by in categories: cosmology, education, employment, physics, robotics/AI, space travel

While AI has the potential to automate many tasks, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include jobs that require creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and human interaction. According to the World Economic Forum, AI is unlikely to be able to replace jobs requiring human skills such as judgement, creativity, physical dexterity and emotional intelligence. Some examples of jobs that AI cannot replace include psychologists, caregivers, most engineers, human resource managers, marketing strategists, and lawyers. In this video, Dr. Michio Kaku mentioned three specific types of jobs that AI cannot replace: blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. These types of jobs require human skills and abilities that are difficult for AI to replicate. For example, blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive often require physical dexterity and mobility. Emotional jobs require empathy and the ability to connect with others on a personal level. Jobs requiring imagination involve creativity and innovation. In conclusion, while AI has the potential to automate many tasks and change the job landscape, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. It is important for individuals to develop these skills in order to thrive in the future job market.

Riverlane Discloses Its Quantum Error Correction Roadmap Through 2026

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, employment, information science, quantum physics

Implementing error correction in a quantum computer requires putting together a lot of different things. Of course, you want to start with good physical qubits that have as low a physical error rate that you can achieve. You want to add in an error correction algorithm, like the surface code, color code, q-LDPC, or others that can be implemented in your architecture, and you need a fast real time error decoder that can look at the circuit output and very quickly determine what the error is so it can be corrected. The error decoder portion doesn’t get as much attention in the media as the other things, but it is a very critical portion of the solution. Riverlane is concentrating on providing products for this with a series of solutions they name Deltaflow which consists of both a classical ASIC chip along with software. The Deltaflow solution consists of a powerful error decoding layer for identifying errors and sending back corrective instructions, a universal interface that communicates with the computer;s control system, and a orchestration layer for coordinating activities.

Riverlane has released its Deltaflow Error Correction Stack Roadmap that show yearly updates to the technology to support an increase in the number of QuOps (error free Quantum Operations) by 10X every year. We reported last year on a chip called DD1 that is part of their Deltaflow 1 solution that is capable of supporting 1,000 QuOps using a surface code error correction algorithm. And now, Riverlane is defining solutions that will achieve 10,000 QuOps with Deltaflow 2 later this year, 100,000 QuOps with Deltaflow 3 in 2025, and 1,000,000 QuOps, also called MegaQuops in 2026, with their Deltaflow Mega solution.

One characteristic that Riverlane is emphasizing in these designs is to perform the decoding in real time in order to keep the latencies low. Although it is fine for an academic paper to send the ancilla data off to a classical computer and have it determine the error, it might take milliseconds for the operation to complete. That won’t cut it in a production environment running real jobs. With their Deltaflow chips, these operations can be performed at megahertz rates and Riverlane has implemented techniques such as a streaming, sliding window, and parallized decoding approaches to increase the throughput of the decoder chips as much as possible. In future chips they will be implementing “fast logic” capabilities for Clifford gates using approaches including lattice surgery and transversal CZ gates.
