Using simulations, the autonomous aircraft are trained to become faster, more agile, and more efficient. Scrubbers with an artificial brain Artificial Intelligence makes robots mobile and autonomous. This is of particular interest for the manufacturers of cleaning equipment and their clients: Several 10.000 cleaning robots are currently deployed – and because of Corona, the number of smart cleaning machines is growing. Drones and AI provide information about the melting ice How fast is the ice melting in Antarctica? Autonomous drones and AI could help reduce the uncertainty of sea-level rise. Study: Reducing the carbon footprint of houses and cars also saves money It is possible to reduce the carbon footprint attributable to driving and housing while saving money at the same time. This has been determined by researchers from the “Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies” (BEST) competence center in Wieselburg, Austria. Researchers at the University of Zurich develop extremely agile drones Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have developed a system that enables flying robots to be very agile. A new type of camera allows autonomous drones to respond much faster than if they were controlled by a human pilot. 5 Automation Trends Transforming Manufacturing Automation in manufacturing is no longer about just improving efficiency—it’s about building smarter, more adaptable systems that can respond to real-time challenges. To understand the trends driving this transformation, we spoke with five leading industry experts. Drone searches independently Researchers have developed a drone that can locate missing people in dense forests. It performs all calculations on board, flies fully autonomously and continuously optimizes its flight path.
