FusionGPT. More warehouse humanoids. Aerospace coalition ensures integrity. Digital twins for... marketing? 3D printed speaker enclosure.
Mar 01, 2024

鈥淣ever be limited by other people鈥檚 imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.鈥

鈥 Dr. Mae Jemison


1. FusionGPT

An AI recently figured out how to smash two atoms together! So, what鈥檚 next? Mutually assured destruction or a (seemingly) infinite well of energy? Regardless, a sun鈥檚 worth of power hypothetically could be coming out of New Jersey, thanks to some Princeton researchers. The team's AI, trained on DIII-D National Fusion Facility data, predicted and prevented tearing instabilities in real time, improving plasma stability.

2. More Warehouse Humanoids

Not for nothing, but Boston Dynamics鈥 CTO, Aaron Saunders, said humanoids a while back, and, well, it seems some robotics companies have retorted with 鈥渉old my beer.鈥 Respect. The Figure 01 humanoid, designed for autonomous warehouse tasks, showcases its ability to pick up and move boxes. It learns through teleoperation and simulated learning, adapting autonomously and making real-time corrections.


3. Aerospace Coalition Ensures Integrity

A lot of companies use the adage 鈥淭here is no policy until you need a policy.鈥 Unfortunately, bad things have happened in the aerospace industry to necessitate an 鈥渋ntegrity coalition鈥! Bad things like unauthorized parts with forged certifications. This is why we can鈥檛 have nice things.

4. Digital Twins for鈥 Marketing?

We (九色视频) have been talking about digital twins a lot 鈥 almost as much as supply chain but not as much as additive. Yet, I鈥檝e never discussed how digital twins streamline content creation and offer sustainability benefits by cutting down on extensive photoshoots. Well, by pulling a digital twin into different platforms (like Photoshop), marketers can manipulate the model for different campaign segments, redefining omnichannel marketing and enabling versatile content creation 鈥 all from the comfort of their desktop.


5. 3D Printed Speaker Enclosure

Movie time! It鈥檚 been almost a year since I鈥檝e forced #youpeople to read some nonsense regarding high-fidelity audio reproduction. Listen (zing!), there鈥檚 always a lot going on in the audiophile world 鈥 it鈥檚 not my fault it often intersects with our world of manufacturing! Only this time I鈥檓 not pushing $600 earbuds on you. This time it鈥檚 free! Well, open source. But you don鈥檛 need to be an MTConnect engineer to know they鈥檙e almost the same thing.
