Applications as diverse as delivery drones, self-driving cars, industrial robots and extraplanetary rovers will depend on this emerging field Developers must overcome strict limits to size, power and model flexibility to enable on-device learning in real time, but new research and new design guidelines may help. Look up “lifelong learning” online, … [continued]
The spectacular new movie The Creator depicts a world run amok in AI, but the real-world field of agriculture tells a different story.
By combining data analytics with materials discovery and synthesis, characterization, prototyping, and testing and validation, PNNL scientists are accelerating the next generation of energy storage materials.
When we talk about artificial intelligence at CleanTechnica, we’re often focused on autonomous vehicles. Because Tesla has been chasing autonomy along with battery-electric vehicles, the topics seem to go hand-in-hand, with some people considering them inextricably linked. For some of us, the idea of a gas-powered self-driving car or an … [continued]
This article, including headlines, was written by ChatGPT with prompting by Michael Barnard as an example of the kind of attention-grabbing, good-quality content you can rapidly create to assist you to engage effectively in climate action.
ChatGPT knows more stuff than you do. A lot more stuff. The entire internet of stuff. Asking it about anything is more likely to provide a complete answer than writing it yourself, even if the subject is nerdy energy flow diagrams.
Robots come in all shapes and sizes, and we are getting a greater variety of autonomous vehicles year after year — or even month after month — as well. They are slipping into more and more locations, and rather than taking over cities in a big explosive way, are performing … [continued]
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the transportation sector accounts for approximately 27% of all greenhouse gas emissions annually in the United States, and emissions from road transportation — driven by carbon-creating internal combustion vehicles — account for a large majority of that. For years, researchers have tried to measure … [continued]
