Baidu Can Now Test Its Self-Driving Cars In California
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: robotics/AI, transportation
The California DMV has just given Baidu its Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit, clearing it to test its self-driving tech in California streets.
Google has been one of the first and one of the most senior in the companies developing autonomous driving technology. But “another Google” is looking to catch up in the field.

For first time, carbon nanotube transistors outperform silicon
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: bioengineering, computing, nanotechnology, particle physics
But a number of challenges have impeded the development of high-performance transistors made of carbon nanotubes, tiny cylinders made of carbon just one atom thick. Consequently, their performance has lagged far behind semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide used in computer chips and personal electronics.

New Plans Show Autonomous Submarine Designed To Explore The Oceans Of Jupiter’s Moon
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: alien life, engineering, robotics/AI
It’s often said that we know more about the Moon than our own oceans. But what about the oceans of other moons?
Robotic-engineering company German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) has been working on the EurEx (Europa Explorer) project, which includes conceptual plans for a robotic system capable of exploring Europa’s icy subterranean oceans.

Google’s Antiaging company Calico will use Computational Biology and Machine Learning
Posted by Elmar Arunov in categories: biotech/medical, computing, life extension, robotics/AI
Calico, a company focused on aging research and therapeutics, today announced that Daphne Koller, Ph.D., is joining the company as Chief Computing Officer. In this newly created position, Dr. Koller will lead the company’s computational biology efforts. She will build a team focused on developing powerful computational and machine learning tools for analyzing biological and medical data sets. She and her team will work closely with the biological scientists at Calico to design experiments and construct data sets that could provide a deeper understanding into the science of longevity and support the development of new interventions to extend healthy lifespan.
Calico will try to use machine learning to understand the complex biological processes involved in aging.
