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?

Tilling AI: Startup Digs into Autonomous Electric Tractors for Organics
Who knew AI would have an impact on organic produce markets? Bakur Kvezereli did. Raised on an Eastern European organic tomato farm, he saw labor shortages, pesticide problems and rising energy costs. Years later, studying at MIT in 2014, it dawned on him that AI could help address these issues for farmers. A few years… Continue reading Tilling AI: Startup Digs into Autonomous Electric Tractors for Organics
