Global logistics service provider DB Schenker has introduced autonomous robots from the manufacturer Gideon Brothers at its location in Leipzig. DB Schenker is thus relying on the flexible solution for automating logistics processes in existing warehouses. The robots, which are equipped with cutting-edge technology, allow productivity gains without the need to modify facilities. "In our drive to offer strategic advantages for our clients in the increasingly complex digital environment, DB Schenker continuously explores opportunities to integrate innovations from visionary start-up companies", said Xavier Garijo, Member of the Board for Contract Logistics at Schenker AG. "Delivering automation possibilities for logistics and warehouse operations is a foundation for building the next generation supply chain."

Scientists are now working to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to psychiatry, with a speech-based mobile app that can categorise a patient's mental health status as well as or better than a human can. "We are not in any way trying to replace clinicians," said Peter Foltz, research professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science at University of Colorado at Boulder. "But we do believe we can create tools that will allow them to better monitor their patients," he added in a paper published in Schizophrenia Bulletin. Even when a patient does make it in for an occasional visit, therapists base their diagnosis and treatment plan largely on listening to a patient talk – an age-old method that can be subjective and unreliable, notes paper co-author Brita Elvevåg, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Tromsø, Norway. They can get distracted and sometimes miss out on subtle speech cues and warning signs.

One day in the future when you need medical care, someone will examine you, diagnose the problem, remove some of your body's healthy cells, and then use them to grow a cure for your ailment. The therapy will be personalized and especially attuned to you and your body, your genes, and the microbes that live in your gut. This is the dream of modern medical science in the field of "regenerative medicine." There are many obstacles standing between this dream and its implementation in real life, however. Cells often differ so much from one another and differ in so many ways that scientists have a hard time predicting what the cells will do in any given therapeutic scenario.

Fox News Flash top headlines for Nov. 18 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com Over 140 mysterious new geoglyphs have been discovered in Nazca, Peru, including strange'humanoid' figures. Researchers from Japan's Yamagata University discovered 142 new glyphs. An additional new geoglyph was discovered using artificial intelligence from IBM Japan and the tech giant's Watson supercomputer, which helped researchers reveal the location of the humanoid figure, who appears to be brandishing some form of club.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly emerged as the defining technology of our society. Gartner forecasts that by 2020, AI will be a top-five investment priority for more than 30% of CIOs. UK tech companies have secured £1 billion deal investment from the UK government which will support their research and development. Though the discussion of adopting AI is still very compelling for businesses and consumers alike, there are still legitimate concerns, as raised by The Guardian's Inequality Project: "When the data we feed the machines reflects the history of our own unequal society, we are in effect asking the program to learn our own biases." It has, therefore, become paramount that CIOs know some uses of AI that could cause problems – the bad, the biased and the unethical – and what they can do to make sure their business remains on the right side.

Robotic emissaries explore the universe for us. Whether traveling to our moon, to other planets, or beyond the Solar System, robots are sometimes much more useful than humans. What are future trends in robotic space exploration? To learn more about this topic, we spoke to Andrew Jones, a doctoral candidate at North Dakota State University who specializes in it. What do you think next steps are in using robots to explore the universe?

The smart home is dead. I'm not sure exactly when the time of death should have been called, but it happened at some point between Google trying to rebrand the smart home as "the helpful home" and the publication of this article, which expresses dismay that at five years of age, Amazon's Alexa offers little more than a new way of interacting with things, without deep functionality or truly new use cases. This week in New York, at an IoT Consortium event, I listened to executives of dozens of companies associated with the smart home talk around its death but never address the fact directly. Instead, they talked about a lack of compelling use cases, how to move beyond a device-specific mindset, and the ways they are trying to handle consumer demand for interoperability in the smart home without actually providing such interoperability. For example, Google's Mark Spates, who works in the smart display and speaker division, said onstage, "I don't think we've done a good job explaining our value proposition to consumers. We have to come up with new stories that isn't just'Go buy another Mini.'"

KP Labs, a NewSpace company based in Poland, specializes in machine learning applications for the space industry and hyperspectral imagery acquisition and processing. Its flagship product is the Intuition-1 satellite mission. It is 6U satellite, equipped with a hyperspectral optical instrument and an on-board computer "Leopard" that advanced data processing through convolutional neural networks. In downstream, the company concentrates on the use of hyperspectral images for industrial and agricultural purposes. For this application, it has developed a lightweight, hyperspectral imager "Zebra" A few months back KP Labs signed a contract with ACC Clyde Space for the delivery of a satellite bus and placing the satellite into low Earth orbit. The launch of Intuition-1 is expected by 2023.

This program unlocks a new chapter for the computing industry in Europe. According to Jiang Tao, VP of Intelligent Computing BU, "Huawei is committed to investing in the AI computing industry in Europe, enabling enterprises and individual developers to leverage the Ascend AI series products for technological and business innovation. Over the next 5 years, Huawei plans to invest 100 million euros in the AI Ecosystem Program in Europe, helping industry organizations, 200,000 developers, 500 ISV partners, and 50 universities and research institutes to boost innovation." First, Huawei will work with partners to shape the AI industry in Europe. Second, Huawei will develop joint solutions with ISV partners.
