Co-founder and CTO Dr. David Gates connected with Raymond Zhong at The New York Times on the growing #fusion industry and his experience over the last 30 years pioneering magnetic confinement fusion devices.    Read the full story to learn about the remarkable work that has allowed private companies to now accelerate towards the commercialization of #FusionEnergy. The article closes on a discussion of our first system, Eos (see below). Eos is the precursor to our first commercial fusion power plant based on our planar coil #stellarator architecture, Helios, named after the god of the Sun. ☀️ “Thea is working on a machine called Eos. Thea, or Theia, is the Greek goddess of vision and light; her daughter is Eos, goddess of the dawn. And when will fusion’s dawn be upon us? The plan for Eos, at least, is to have it running by 2030.” Link: https://lnkd.in/gNAwrjzQ

Customer spotlight: Cardinal Robotics 🤖 For Anand V Lalwani, one of the most critical lessons he learned from his alma mater, Stanford University, is to do the job you want to automate. And even after he co-founded Cardinal Robotics, which maintains a fleet of robots to assist frontline janitors, he never lost sight of that advice. Case in point, every quarter, his entire executive team picks up a mop and broom to do the work his fleet of robots do. This helps him and his team better understand—and answer—one fundamental question: "How do we make the lives of these janitors a little bit better?" Link to his full story and mission in the comments 👇

Discover the power of #AI in revolutionizing engineering efficiency and accelerating #NPI as Philip Stoten, sits down with the dynamic and talented Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, CEO and founder of Instrumental Inc.. Together they explore how their groundbreaking technology is not just spotting manufacturing defects earlier but has also saved a massive 900 engineering weeks per year at Meta. Our discussion traverses the impact of AI in the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, and the undeniable benefits for brands to get to market quicker and more effectively. Anna also explains how the adoption is accepted and eventually embraced as a value add by the contract manufacturers supporting the brands that use the Instrumental solution. #electronicsmanufacturing #EMS #Software #AI #EMSNOW

In our latest talk at ROSCon, we shared the Dexory team’s journey in deploying ROS 2 in a production environment, detailing how we're scaling our robotics solution, from a start-up to managing a fleet of autonomous robots in the field. 🤖 Our Head of Autonomy, Marcus Scheunemann, and Lead Systems Architect, Guillaume Doisy, discussed the best practices, challenges, and key insights gained along the way. They explored the empirical learnings that have helped us maintain a robust, scalable software stack on the latest version of ROS 2—a feat that, contrary to popular belief, is not only possible but has delivered substantial benefits to our operations. While leveraging ROS 2 demands dedicated safeguarding processes and a strong commitment to the open-source community, it enables us to innovate faster than a fixed ROS 1 stack would allow. #ROS #ROSCon #Robotics #ROS2

MIT robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks thinks people are vastly overestimating generative AI Rodney Brooks, a renowned robotics expert and Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, emphasizes caution regarding the hype around generative AI, arguing that while impressive, it's often overestimated in its capabilities. Brooks highlights the tendency of people to generalize AI performance to human-like competence, which leads to unrealistic expectations. He shares insights from his work at Robust.AI, noting that practical applications in controlled environments, like warehouses, are more effective than using AI for tasks beyond its scope. Brooks underscores the importance of integrating robots into specific, solvable problems rather than pursuing overly ambitious projects. He warns against assuming continuous exponential technological growth and advocates for realistic, purpose-built AI applications, particularly as they pertain to eldercare and similar contexts.
