Until relatively recently, robots have been kept in cages. This isn’t to stop them from getting out (although I have a niggling notion that day may come)—rather, to prevent humans from getting in. I’m thinking of honking big industrial robots in facilities like automobile factories.
While members of this class of robots are awesomely good at what they do (picking … Read More → "The Rise of the Robots (Cobots)"
I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t know as much about the topic of test and measurement (T&M) as perhaps I should. My only excuse is that there’s so much to learn and I am a bear of little brain (and my little bear brain is pretty much full).
There are lots of things I’ve not done … Read More → "Measuring Picovolts and Femtoamps"
I’m afraid I’m in a techno-dweeby mood at this moment in time. My head is filled with thoughts that are bouncing around my noggin like demented ping pong balls. Speaking of which, do you remember my 12×12 ping pong ball display?
If so, then—as you may recall—the last thing I did with this bodacious beauty was to implement a Read More → "This One’s for the Techno-Dweebs"
Almost anyone involved in developing new products today wants those products to have an artificial intelligence (AI) component [for the purposes of this column we will take AI to embrace machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)]. The problem is that AI is still very new in the scheme of things—everyone has heard about it, almost everybody uses it, but relatively few people know how to … Read More → "One More Step on the Path to AIIE (AI-In-Everything)"
AI-based anomaly detection takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! My guest is Rachel Johnson from MathWorks and we explore how AI can work in tandem with engineers to reduce the incidence of defects and optimize maintenance schedules and the steps involved in designing and deploying an AI-based anomaly detection system; from conceptualization and data gathering to deployment and integration.

I have seen the future, and it’s going to be even more amazing than our wildest dreams. Do I have your attention? Good. Then I’ll begin…
Have you seen The Time Machine movie? Well, I should say “movies” because there was the classic Read More → "I See Holograms Everywhere"
