Trash to Cash: Recyclers Tap Startup with World’s Largest Recycling Network to Freshen Up Business Prospects
Matanya Horowitz smelled a problem in 2014. Fresh out of CalTech with a Ph.D., he saw that recycling centers lacked robotics and computer vision to pick through heaps of garbage-contaminated recyclables. Horowitz founded AMP Robotics that year to harness AI run on NVIDIA GPUs to turn sorting out the trash into cash. It’s a ripe… Continue reading Trash to Cash: Recyclers Tap Startup with World’s Largest Recycling Network to Freshen Up Business Prospects

Startup’s AI Intersects With U.S. Traffic Lights for Better Flow, Safety
Thousands of U.S. traffic lights may soon be getting the green light on AI for safer streets. That’s because startup CVEDIA has designed better and faster vehicle and pedestrian detections to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety for Cubic Transportation Systems. These new AI capabilities will be integrated into Cubic’s GRIDSMART Solution, a single-camera intersection… Continue reading Startup’s AI Intersects With U.S. Traffic Lights for Better Flow, Safety
Riding Solo: MIT Develops Single Self-Driving Network on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus
A new approach to autonomous driving is pursuing a solo career. Researchers at MIT are developing a single deep neural network (DNN) to power autonomous vehicles, rather than a system of multiple networks. The research, published at COMPUTEX this week, used NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus to run the network in the vehicle, processing mountains of… Continue reading Riding Solo: MIT Develops Single Self-Driving Network on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus
What Is Synthetic Data?
Data is the new oil in today’s age of AI, but only a lucky few are sitting on a gusher. So, many are making their own fuel, one that’s both inexpensive and effective. It’s called synthetic data. What Is Synthetic Data? Synthetic data is annotated information that computer simulations or algorithms generate as an alternative… Continue reading What Is Synthetic Data?
