☆ DEEP is building underwater habitats to ‘make humans aquatic’
  + stars: | 2024-09-18 | by ( Amy Gunia | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Last week, DEEP announced a precursor to the Sentinel, a smaller underwater habitat which the company will use to develop systems for the Sentinel but will also be released as a separate product. An underwater habitat placed on the seabed near the wreck could have served as a base for divers instead, said Wolpert. OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Aquarius replaced Hydrolab after it was decommissioned. OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Dennison, of the University of Maryland, said Hydrolab was damp, cramped, lacked indoor plumbing, and had only three beds for four occupants. Wolpert said that DEEP is more than a habitat, it’s also a platform for engaging the next generation.

☆ Amazon is using generative AI to drive more same-day shipping using smarter robots and better routes
  + stars: | 2024-09-17 | by ( Katie Tarasov | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Now, the retail giant is turning to generative AI to drive more same-day shipping. But not all the changes that generative AI may bring to the e-commerce giant are positive. Robots and new rolesThe number of Amazon warehouse robots grew from 350,000 in 2021 to more than 750,000 in 2023, according to the company. "They're using generative AI and computer vision to avoid obstacles and find the right place to stop," Armato said. Amazon's AI is three times better at identifying damaged products than humans are, the company said.

☆ British Navy unveils novel 'Proteus' surveillance ship that can detect underwater threats from adversaries like Russia
  + stars: | 2023-10-21 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Britain has formally dedicated a new surveillance ship capable of detecting underwater threats. The RFA Proteus is the first ship in the UK's "Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance" (MROS) program. The ship, which is a converted commercial vessel, underwent final testing in September. AdvertisementAdvertisementConcerned by threats to underwater pipes and cables that connect it with Europe and the rest of the world, Britain this month formally dedicated a new and unusual surveillance ship called the RFA Proteus. The 6,000-tonne vessel will be crewed by 26 sailors and "augmented by" 60 Royal Navy specialists "responsible for the undersea surveillance, survey and warfare systems," according to the Royal Navy.

☆ Amazon's latest warehouse robot is cute, but it's definitely not going to quell workers' fears of being replaced
  + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Kylie Kirschner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Amazon says Digit is designed to "work collaboratively" with employees, not replace them. AdvertisementAdvertisementAmazon recently began testing a new robot in its warehouse operations — meet Digit, a humanoid bipedal robot with a turquoise torso and smiley eyes. However, most of the other warehouse robots have been cart-shaped or robotic arms, not humanoid like Digit. Unlike the company's other warehouse robots, Amazon says Digit is better designed to operate in spaces designed for humans. In community forums, warehouse workers discussed the possibility that Sparrow might result in empty warehouses, with only small teams of human employees to repair the robots.

☆ Investing in Space: A reality check on SPAC frenzy revenue projections
  + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +13 min
Overview: Forecast or fantasyWe're now at least two years on from when a slew of space companies went public during the SPAC frenzy, and, look, none of them look great. Now a bit further down the road, I want to look at a different financial metric: 2023 revenue projections. I ran an informal series for a while to mark when a space company announced it was going public. The rest of the pack isn't as on the mark: A few companies are roughly halfway to their earlier 2023 revenue projections, or performing even better. Spire forecast 2023 revenue of $227 million and is closing in on about $107 million.

☆ Amazon's new robot should strike fear into its hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers
  + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Amazon unveiled Sparrow, a robot capable of handling individual items on Thursday. The robot could reduce the company's reliance on human warehouse workers. Sparrow is the first robot Amazon has revealed of its kind and it has the potential to wipe out significant numbers of the company's warehouse workers. The arm can identify approximately 65% of Amazon's inventory, the company told CNBC. In June, Amazon unveiled its first autonomous robot called Proteus, which can lift and move package carrying carts.
☆ Amazon unveiled a new warehouse robot that can identify and pick 65% of the items it sells. 'This will take my job,' one warehouse worker said.

The robot's capabilities have sparked fears among some Amazon workers that Sparrow could leave them without work. Sparrow "will take my job," one Amazon warehouse worker said, after reading Amazon's description of the robot. "Everyone knows that Amazon wants to replace human labor with robots," said Ryan Brown, an Amazon worker and the president of the union Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment. One of Amazon's robot arms is installed at Brown's facility, he said, but "interestingly enough, the robot that we have is always down." "These robots collapse," agreed Brett Daniels, an Amazon worker and Amazon Labor Union organizer.
