IDTechEx talked with 4am Robotics at Automatica 2023. 4am Robotics specializes in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) including indoor and outdoor tuggers, forklifts, and mobile manipulators.

Neura Robotics

Neura Robotics is a company developing cognitive collaborative robots using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. IDTechEx analysts talked with Neura Robotics at Automatica 2022, and this year (2023), IDTechEx analysts talked with them again to check their updates.

Thira Robotics

IDTechEx talked with Thira Robotics at Automatica 2023. Thira Robotics is a South Korea based autonomous mobile robot (AMR) manufacturer. Thira Robotics has a number of products, its T-Series and L-Series AMRs.

Envisics

Founded in January 2018, from an augmented reality wearables parent company, DAQRI, Envisics has grown in the heads-up display (HUD) space, being valued more recently at US$500M with investments from large OEMs such as Hyundai Mobis, Stellantis, GM Ventures or Inmotion Ventures from Jaguar Land Rover. With research that spun out of the University of Cambridge, Envisics has evolved significantly, bringing this solution to the automotive industry. Led by Dr Jamieson Christmas, Envisics is bringing holographic displays to augmented reality HUDs (AR-HUDS) and providing full depth planes to images projected ahead of the driver.

EU Chips Act — SemiWise

Professor Asen Asenov has been a professor at the University of Glasgow's Department of Electrical Engineering for 32 years. He has a strong background in the semiconductor industry, with 42 years of industry experience. In 2010, he founded a successful startup called 'Gold Standard Simulations' (GSS), which focused on advanced CMOS simulation tools. GSS was later acquired by Synopsys in 2016, leading to the establishment of SemiWise in 2017. SemiWise specializes in areas like low-power CMOS modeling and simulation, providing semiconductor IP, device design consulting, software solutions, and training courses. Additionally, Prof. Asenov is involved in UK chip initiatives and advises the Bulgarian government on the EU (European) Chips Act. IDTechEx interviewed Prof. Asenov, discussing the EU Chips Act and the competition in the semiconductor industry in July 2023.

Will Liquid Cooling Dominate Thermal Management for Data Centers?

Over the past 16 years, the thermal design power (TDP) of GPUs has quadrupled. With the increasing demand for AI, cloud computing, and crypto mining, IDTechEx expects the power consumption of server boards and data centers to continue rising.

Why Buying an Autonomous Electric Car Will Feel Like Buying a Laptop

Computer chips have been part of cars for a long time, but no one really cares about them until they stop working or they are late to the production line, grinding manufacturing to an industry-shaking halt

Asperitas Immersed Computing

Asperitas Immersed Computing (referring as Asperitas) is an immersion cooling vendor for data center applications. Unlike typical immersion cooling solutions, Asperitas utilizes passive natural convection rather than active cooling using coolant distribution units (CDUs).

The Metaverse Standards Forum

The Metaverse Standards Forum is intended as the place for communication between stakeholders to create recommendations for standards to make an interoperable metaverse possible. The Khronos Group-founded organization counts almost 2500 companies as members. IDTechEx spoke to its chair, Neil Trevett, about the Forum's goals and work to date.

Why AI Should Be at the Top of the National Agenda

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since the success of DeepMind over Go world champion Lee Sedol in 2016; the world is beginning to change according to the new possibilities afforded by AI. From the robust predictive abilities of OpenAI's ChatGPT - where the AI chatbot can be used for all sorts of purposes, from creating scripts (including malware) to writing academic essays - to AI image generators that are so good that they can win Sony world photography awards, the complexity and capabilities of AI algorithms are growing at a startlingly fast pace.
