DSDE: Emerging Technology

The new DeeperSense project, an international consortium led by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, is working on technologies that combine the strengths of visual and acoustic sensors with the help of artificial intelligence. The aim is to significantly improve the perception of robotic underwater vehicles.

Honeywell's H1 quantum system has reached a record-high quantum volume.

Artificial intelligence is opening new ways to analyze data from microseismic events that occur during hydraulic fracturing. One researcher at Moscow’s Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology is building a convolutional neural network to get a subsurface view of permeability after fracturing.

The cultural perception of AI is often suspect because of the challenges in knowing why a deep neural network makes its predictions. So researchers try to crack open this black box after a network is trained to correlate results with inputs. But what if the goal of explainability could be designed into the network's architecture, before the model is trained and withou…

Using a method called quantum annealing, D-Wave's researchers demonstrated that a quantum computational advantage could be achieved over classical means.

Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group and the European Space Agency have signed a memorandum of intent to analyze, develop, and implement space-enabled technology and services to support the renewable energy sector.

Neuromorphic computing could completely transform everything about the technology industry from programming languages to hardware.

2020 is finally ending. While not likely to register as anyone’s favorite year, 2020 did have some noteworthy advancements, and 2021 promises some important key trends to look forward to. A collection of experts presents thoughts on the past year and predictions for the year to come.

Startup Cerebras benchmarked its pint-sized computer against 16,000 Xeon cores in the Department of Energy's Joule supercomputer on a problem of computational fluid dynamics.

Augmented reality is gaining momentum in monitoring hazardous environments such as oil rigs remotely. With advances in sensors, video processing, machine learning, and deep neural networks all rendered into eyewear, there is an opportunity for enterprises to leverage this technology.
