The world's biggest 3D printer can a make a house in under 80 hours
The University of Maine just unveiled the world's largest polymer 3D printer. The new printer, named Factory of the Future 1.0 (FoF 1.0), can print objects as large as 96 feet long by 32 feet wide by 18 feet high. It's also quite speedy, relatively speaking, as it can print up to 500 pounds per hour. It can dynamically switch between printing techniques to suit different aspects of complex jobs. The printer can flip between large-scale additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing, continuous tape layup and robot arm operations.
Textual-Knowledge-Guided Numerical Feature Discovery Method for Power Demand Forecasting
Power demand forecasting is a crucial and challenging task for new power system and integrated energy system. However, as public feature databases and the theoretical mechanism of power demand changes are unavailable, the known features of power demand fluctuation are much limited. Recently, multimodal learning approaches have shown great vitality in machine learning and AIGC. In this paper, we interact two modal data and propose a textual-knowledge-guided numerical feature discovery (TKNFD) method for short-term power demand forecasting. TKNFD extensively accumulates qualitative textual knowledge, expands it into a candidate feature-type set, collects numerical data of these features, and eventually builds four-dimensional multivariate source-tracking databases (4DM-STDs). Next, TKNFD presents a two-level quantitative feature identification strategy independent of forecasting models, finds 43-48 features, and systematically analyses feature contribution and dependency correlation. Benchmark experiments in two different regions around the world demonstrate that the forecasting accuracy of TKNFD-discovered features reliably outperforms that of SoTA feature schemes by 16.84% to 36.36% MAPE. In particular, TKNFD reveals many unknown features, especially several dominant features in the unknown energy and astronomical dimensions, which extend the knowledge on the origin of strong randomness and non-linearity in power demand fluctuation. Besides, 4DM-STDs can serve as public baseline databases.
Preventing mass shootings with AI detection: Navy SEALs-inspired invention
CyberGuy explains a new factory in Oregon that can produce 10,000 robots a year. Maine, a state often admired for its serenity and scenic beauty, recently witnessed an unimaginable nightmare. Robert Card, an assault rifle-carrying gun instructor with documented mental troubles, gunned down 18 innocent people. The 40-year-old suspect was found dead two days later after an intense search by law enforcement. As families and communities mourn the loss, an important question is raised: Could alerting the police mere minutes earlier than the first 911 call have changed the outcome?
Facial recognition can help conserve seals, scientists say
Facial recognition technology is mostly associated with uses such as surveillance and the authentication of human faces, but scientists believe they've found a new use for it -- saving seals. A research team at Colgate University has developed SealNet, a database of seal faces created by taking pictures of dozens of harbor seals in Maine's Casco Bay. The team found the tool's accuracy in identifying the marine mammals is close to 100%, which is no small accomplishment in an ecosystem home to thousands of seals. The researchers are working on expanding their database to make it available to other scientists, said Krista Ingram, a biology professor at Colgate and a team member. Broadening the database to include rare species such as the Mediterranean monk seal and Hawaiian monk seal could help inform conservation efforts to save those species, she said.
Opinion: The Rise of the Robots Just Cannot Be Stopped
Automation of the labor force was feared for a long time. In 2017, a website sprung up to answer a question long on the minds of many: Will robots take my job? The creators based it on Bureau of Labor Statistics data and a 2013 research paper from Oxford University about "the susceptibility of jobs to computerization." Things have moved quickly since; even the term "computerization" now sounds desperately out of date. If you plug "journalist" into the site's search bar, for example, the site reveals an "automation risk score" of 9 percent.
