French medtech Volta Medical snaps €36M to detect and prevent cardiac diseases using AI -- TFN
Volta Medical, a France-based health technology company developing AI solutions to assist electrophysiologist physicians and surgeons, has secured €36 million in Series B funding. With this, the total funding raised by the company accounts for €70 million. The investment round was led by the US-based Vensana Capital alongside participation from Lightstone Ventures (which backed Dunzo and Nimbus Therapeutics) and existing investor Gilde Healthcare. The funding will help accelerate new product development, support additional clinical trials, prepare for full-scale US commercialisation, and pursue further regulatory approvals. The company's lead product, VOLTA VX1, is the first commercially available AI decision-support software to help guide physicians with identification and real-time annotation of unique abnormalities on 3D anatomical and electrical maps of the heart.
The Rise of Robots Are Shaping The Future Of The Restaurant Industry
The use of robots in the food service industry is on the rise, from robotic steak-flippers to robotic bartenders. Certainly, advancements in robot technology have played a substantial role in its widespread adoption. However, inflation and rising labor costs have also played important roles. Regardless of the impetus for the shift, the introduction of robotics into restaurants will alter the landscape of the food service sector. The field of restaurant robotics focuses on the automation formerly performed by human workers.
"Genesis" by Jens Knappe
Therefore, he was among the first to put OpenAI's novel "text-to-image" system DALL E 2 through rigorous testing for possible errors, potential dangers and also in view of its possibilities, before it was unleashed on humanity. From the very first images the system produced, it was clear that this was a milestone of epochal proportions, leaving its predecessors far behind. This is undoubtedly only a snapshot in an exponential, almost explosive development. Because this is where the human claim to sole representation of creativity comes under pressure. DALL E 2 is part of the most successful Large Language Model to date "GPT3" and therefore can draw on a large part of what has been published on the Internet as its "educational treasure".
ITRI Introduces Innovations in AI, Robotics and ICT at CES 2023
The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan's largest and one of the world's leading high-tech applied research institutions, today announced it will introduce AI, robotics and ICT technologies at its CES 2023 booth 9855, North Hall, LVCC and its virtual event site (https://event.itri.org/CES2023). ITRI's CES 2023 highlight technologies in AI, robotics and ICT include AI Aquarium, a CES 2023 Innovation Awards honoree, the world's first smart aquarium that helps identify marine life in real time; Cubot ONE: Indoor/Outdoor AMR, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) integrating AI, IoT and 5G technologies, that can operate indoors and outdoors, take elevators and travel on rugged ground; and RobotSmith, an AI and robotic system for metal workpiece grinding and polishing. AI Aquarium, a CES 2023 Innovation Awards honoree, is the world's first interactive smart aquarium that helps observers identify marine life in real time. With intuitive virtual-real fusion, the system can recognize aquatic species with up to 98% accuracy and show corresponding information on a transparent display according to an observer's line of sight. AI Aquarium also performs gesture recognition with up to 98% accuracy.

Weebit Nano tapes-out first 22nm demo chip
HOD HASHARON, Israel – Jan. 3, 2023 – Weebit Nano Limited (ASX:WBT), a leading developer of next-generation memory technologies for the global semiconductor industry, has taped-out (released to manufacturing) demonstration chips integrating its embedded Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM or RRAM) module in an advanced 22nm FD-SOI (fully depleted silicon on insulator) process technology. This is the first tape-out of Weebit ReRAM in 22nm, one of the industry's most common process nodes, and a geometry where embedded flash is not viable. Weebit worked with its development partners CEA-Leti and CEA-List to successfully scale its ReRAM technology down to 22nm. The teams designed a full IP memory module that integrates a multi-megabit ReRAM block targeting the 22nm FD-SOI process which is designed to deliver outstanding performance for connected and ultra-low power applications such as IoT and edge AI. As embedded flash is unable to scale below 28nm, new non-volatile memory (NVM) technology is needed for smaller process geometries.

2022H2 Amazon Textract launch summary
Documents are a primary tool for record keeping, communication, collaboration, and transactions across many industries, including financial, medical, legal, and real estate. The millions of mortgage applications and hundreds of millions of W2 tax forms processed each year are just a few examples of such documents. Critical business data remains unlocked in unstructured documents such as scanned images and PDFs, and trying to get humans to read this data or even legacy OCR is tedious, expensive, and error prone. This is why we launched Amazon Textract in 2019 to help you automate your tedious document processing workflows powered by AI. Amazon Textract automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and data from any document.
