The Pepsi Man Is Coming to Save Samsung From Boring Design

WIRED

Mauro Porcini is, amazingly, Samsung's first ever chief design officer. He's got a hell of a job ahead of him. Samsung has one of the biggest product line ups of any tech brand, yet when it comes to design, it's consistently seen as an "also-ran." While other companies have forged distinctive and instantly recognizable design languages, such as Nothing, Samsung has found itself behind in the style stakes. When you've got Apple as one of your biggest competitors, that's not a great position to be in.


Design of Unmanned Air Vehicles Using Transformer Surrogate Models

Cobb, Adam D., Roy, Anirban, Elenius, Daniel, Jha, Susmit

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Computer-aided design (CAD) is a promising new area for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The current practice of design of cyber-physical systems uses the digital twin methodology, wherein the actual physical design is preceded by building detailed models that can be evaluated by physics simulation models. These physics models are often slow and the manual design process often relies on exploring near-by variations of existing designs. AI holds the promise of breaking these design silos and increasing the diversity and performance of designs by accelerating the exploration of the design space. In this paper, we focus on the design of electrical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The high-density batteries and purely electrical propulsion systems have disrupted the space of UAV design, making this domain an ideal target for AI-based design. In this paper, we develop an AI Designer that synthesizes novel UAV designs. Our approach uses a deep transformer model with a novel domain-specific encoding such that we can evaluate the performance of new proposed designs without running expensive flight dynamics models and CAD tools. We demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces the overall compute requirements for the design process and accelerates the design space exploration. Finally, we identify future research directions to achieve full-scale deployment of AI-assisted CAD for UAVs.


These Robot Servants Will Be Waiting on You Soon

Intelligent machines have begun their march on labor by expanding their skills and moving up the corporate ladder. They may not be ready to take over the world just yet but are now available at your beck and call to work in tandem. Earlier, we had reported on seven robot cleaners that assist you in keeping your living space clean. A company cofounded at the University of Waterloo's flagship tech startup incubator also introduced the first robot capable of performing intramuscular injections. Now, Pudu Robotics, the global leader in commercial service robots, unveiled seven such commercial service robots at its booth at the ongoing CES 2022.


Lingua Franca: A Design Language for Human-Centered AI

#artificialintelligence

This is a simple and straightforward guide to designing human-centered AI. The techniques mentioned herein were honed from our own experiences designing AI systems across industries and segments, for both consumers and enterprises. Our work in AI has taken us from finance to healthcare, from VR to photo-sharing, from asset management to predictive operations, and much more. Designing an AI to work within the messiness of the real world requires new frameworks, as novel challenges emerge within such dynamic and complex systems. While we cannot offer a step-by-step process to guaranteed innovation (no innovation can come without experience and tinkering), this guide attempts to distill our own learnings into a re-usable methodology.


How AI And Machine Learning Is Changing Responsive Website Designing

#artificialintelligence

The age of Artificial intelligence is not too far down the line. Over the last few years, scientists and researchers have worked tirelessly to develop such a form of technology. Conducted over a series of tests, artificial intelligence has proven to be effective and valuable in terms of routine work. Time and again it has been noted that Artificial Intelligence is capable of timely execution of mechanical and uniform tasks. With AI shaping future of web design, the general perception is that it will tick all the right boxes of the level and accuracy. This throws light on the possibility that humans might be replaced with AI in workplaces, infact the process has already started.


Future Talk: Here's why Chatbots are the future of App Design

#artificialintelligence

Talking to your phone is just a bliss right? You get all the information you need, and it saves so much time. Okay, it's not all perfect, but consider this right? Remember the days when someone asks you to make note of something, and you had to run through 3 parallel universes, just to get hold of a piece of paper, and a pencil with a broken tip. Now, the cool kids say "we've an app for that".


5 Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Architecture

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is using data to change the world. Have you considered how AI might be changing architecture? Architects are not sure what to think about Artificial Intelligence. You are probably very familiar with how AI will change industries, like cybersecurity, medicine, and manufacturing. The core issue centers around the idea that creatives will be replaced by super-intelligent robots to design buildings, create art, or design vehicles.


Microsoft's design rules push Windows 'beyond mere rectangles'

Engadget

Microsoft's Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 might have an ironically uncreative name, but the upgrade itself is flush with artistic potential and useful features. It will give users a timeline to manage complex work sessions, APIs that tie all of Microsoft's services together and, notably, a new design paradigm intended to radically overhaul the flat rectangle user interface it's known for. Microsoft's Fluent Design System focuses on five core tenets to help developers build more creative and engaging user interfaces: Depth, Material, Light, Scale and Motion. These philosophies are intended to draw a line in the sand between Microsoft's stiff, old design and a new future of interactive user experiences. "It's time to move beyond mere rectangles confined to a plane," Microsoft's Joe Belfiore declared as he introduced the design language at Build.


Meizu Pro 6 Plus Review: iPhone's Body Plus Samsung Galaxy's Chip Equals Powerhouse

Forbes - Tech

When it comes to hardware design language, non-Apple/-Samsung phones tend to be all over the place, even within the same product line. One model of a phone may use onscreen soft buttons, the next one may have hard physical buttons. One year's phone may be made of metal with fingerprint sensor on the back, the next it might be leather with a front scanner. Meizu, on the other hand, has stuck with the same design language over at least a half dozen phones released in the past two to three years. The result has been mostly good -- Meizu's phones are very nicely built metal unibody devices with a sturdy oval all-in-one home button that doubles as a fast fingerprint sensor.
