Orchards are among the most species-rich biotopes in Central Europe. But many stands are acutely threatened: Since their management is hardly worthwhile from an economic point of view, the vast majority of orchards are not or only poorly maintained. Researchers are working on the development of an autonomous robot that will largely take over tree pruning independently in the future.

EasyMile and Sono Motors are equipping an EZ10 autonomous shuttle prototype with Sono Motors' patented solar technology, testing a new energy concept for electric and driverless shuttles.

CES is the world's largest and most influential technology event. Held annually in the first week of January in Las Vegas, USA, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced CES 2021 onto an online platform.

For the first time, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras coupled with deep learning to count animals in complex geographical landscapes, taking conservationists an important step forward in monitoring populations of endangered species.

Warnings about misinformation are now regularly posted on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms, but not all of these cautions are created equal. New research shows that artificial intelligence can help form accurate news assessments — but only when a news story is first emerging.

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd has announced the development of a new multi-factor biometric authentication technology to deliver an innovative shopping experience for the "New Normal" era, combining non-contact biometrics that filter the verification target through facial data with identification performed via palm vein recognition.

Redefining sustainability, THE LINE will comprise carbon-positive urban developments powered by 100% clean energy, providing pollution-free, healthier and more sustainable environments for residents. Mixed-use communities will be built around nature, instead of over it.

Physical travel documents such as airline tickets and boarding passes may soon be a thing of the past for passengers at KL International Airport with the first phase roll-out of the Single Token Journey initiative. The initiative utilises facial recognition technology to provide passengers with one single-token biometric identification authentication that will take them through the entire airport journey.

The world's first robotic kitchen features a dexterous robot integrated into a luxury kitchen, that prepares freshly-cooked meals at the touch of a button.

The US Food and Drug Administration released the agency's first Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Based Software as a Medical Device Action Plan. This action plan describes a multi-pronged approach to advance the Agency's oversight of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning-based medical software.
