As Nvidia Corp. announced new robotics innovations at last week’s Conference on Robot Learning in South Korea, the company continues to extend its product line with new capabilities and enhancements. Nvidia announcements at CoRL included: The Isaac GR00T N1.6 open foundation reasoning vision language action model that provides robots with humanlike reasoning to break down complex instructions and execute tasks using prior knowledge and common sense.
Last week I was at the industry event, RSAC and this week I’m at IBM Think, a vendor event and this got me thinking about the difference between the two types of conferences and how much they’ve changed over the years. Flashback to 15 years ago: If you wanted to experience a blockbuster tech event, you were probably booking your ticket to something like Networld + Interop.
Today is the 25th opening day at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team, and the latest Oracle Park renovations showcase new technologies aimed at enhancing the fan experience. In mid-March, the Giants held a media event to discuss the latest and greatest with the team. Though much of the discussion was with the new players as well as fun information, such as which players would have bobbleheads this season, I was there to learn about the technology upgrades coming to the park.
‘Tis the season to ponder what to get that someone in your life who has everything. If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping and have $249 to spend for a piece of technology about four inches wide, three-and-a-half inches high, and 1.3 inches thick, then Nvidia Corp. has the perfect gift. The tech giant introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit this week. Though that’s a big name for such a small product, don’t be fooled. The latest innovation from Nvidia packs a big wallop in its little package.
At last week’s Climate Week and the Global Citizen Festival in New York, both committed to making the world a better and more livable place for future generations, technology was viewed by many as the driving force to shift to a cleaner, more sustainable future. One of the more interesting events was held at the Midtown Accenture Innovation Hub, where industry leaders shared insights on digital innovation.
