Ultra raises $62 million for fast-growing ‘robots as a service’ business, announces tie-up with AI research firm Physical Intelligence
Ultra, a Brooklyn-based warehouse robotics startup, raised $62 million across a $50 million Series A led by Framework Ventures and a $12 million seed led by Y Combinator and Next View. The company announced a deepened partnership with Physical Intelligence, the AI 'robot brains' firm valued at $5.6 billion, under a 'body and brains' approach where Ultra builds the hardware and PI supplies the AI. Ultra's robots have packed more than half a million orders for shipping across U.S. warehouses.
Leveraging IoT‐Aided Robotics for Enhanced Efficiency in Urban Traffic Management Utilizing Multi‐Component Attention Graph Convolutional Neural Network Intended for Real‐Time Traffic Monitoring Systems
ABSTRACT Maintaining traffic restrictions has become more difficult because growing number of vehicles on the road, particularly in locations with high populations. Efficient traffic monitoring and road safety management have become critical challenges due to the rapid increase in vehicular density in urban environments. This paper proposes a novel IoT-aided robotic framework, termed MAGCNN-RTMS-IoT-AR, for real-time traffic sign detection and recognition using the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) dataset. Initially, the input images are pre-processed using an Inn
