Top Trends: TheCompilation of Up-to-date Information in the World of Data News
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, innovative solutions are being developed to revolutionise various industries. Here's a roundup of some groundbreaking advancements that are making waves across the globe.
Researchers from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine and Monash University in Australia, in partnership with Leidos Holding, are pioneering an incision-free autopsy method using augmented reality. This novel approach creates a 3-D reconstruction of a shooting victim, which is then segmented into multiple planes and directions. This allows investigators to determine bullet trajectory and locate bullet fragments with unprecedented accuracy.
Moving on to healthcare, researchers from the University of Minnesota have developed an AI algorithm to identify possible COVID-19 cases from abnormal lung patterns in chest x-rays. The algorithm, currently used by 450 hospitals, was trained using 118,000 chest x-rays, including 18,000 COVID-19 positive cases.
Meanwhile, Bigmate, an Australian computer vision company, has developed a system to reduce workplace accidents using machine learning. In one Singaporean factory, the system decreased the amount of unsafe incidents by 22 percent.
Elsewhere, Telenor, a Norwegian telecommunications company, has created an application that helps fish farmers understand salmon feeding behaviour using neural networks. Lab tests show the application has an accuracy of 80 percent.
In the realm of robotics, the Japanese company ZMP Inc. has acquired the robots used for restaurant service from the Californian company Bear Robotics.
Lastly, Flock Freight, a Californian freight technology company, is reducing carbon emissions by using machine learning to combine shipments of freight trucks. This innovative approach has led to a reduction of 4,335 metric tons.
These advancements are just a few examples of how technology is transforming industries, making processes more efficient, safer, and environmentally friendly. As we move forward, it's exciting to imagine the limitless potential of technology to shape our world.
