Check in, pay and collect your room key at a hotel kiosk. Straiv's Kiosk | PULSE brings those steps together with identity checks and checkout, so hotels can offer self-service without needing someone at the desk for every arrival.
Can AI help write software for systems where mistakes could be dangerous? This open-source traffic-control demonstration lets AI coding assistants make changes, then uses separate tools to check the results against strict requirements. The idea is to test the work independently rather than take the AI's word for it.
Laser calibration checks whether a machine moves exactly where it should. The catch is that the air itself bends the laser's measurement, so a warm, humid or low-pressure workshop can skew the results. Renishaw's XC100 measures the air every two seconds and corrects the readings as it goes.
Car factories use robots to seal, clean and move parts before and during painting. EcoRS Generation 2 puts several of those jobs on a shared robot and control platform. That could make the equipment simpler to connect and maintain, with fewer different spare parts to keep on hand.
Factory robots are getting a new set of tools for working alongside people. Gen 7 brings redesigned robot arms, built-in sensors and better support for camera-based tasks, opening up more possibilities for robots that respond to what is happening around them.
Building an app involves much more than writing what appears on the screen. Serverpod brings more of that behind-the-scenes work into one place, with quicker previews, tools for putting apps online and support for AI coding assistants. Developers can use different assistants rather than commit to one.
A scanned page is easy for a person to read, but software needs help turning it into usable text. jina-ocr-v1 does that job and converts documents into a format other tools can work with. It is designed to run on relatively inexpensive graphics cards, which could make processing documents on your own computers more affordable.
Cameras inside cars need to see drivers and passengers clearly, including in low light. SafeSense VD56GA is a new image sensor with sharper images and better sensitivity to infrared light than its predecessor. It could make these monitoring systems easier to bring to more cars.
