Closing the loop between artificial intelligence and robotic experiments

TSUKUBA, Japan, Aug 24, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The powers of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic experiment systems have come together in pioneering proof-of-concept work at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. The researchers describe the development and demonstration of their "closed loop" automation software in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.
NIMS-OS links AI and robotics for innovative materials research


"The overall aim of our work is to allow experiments exploring materials science to be designed and then proceed automatically, with no human intervention," says physicist and software engineer Ryo Tamura at the NIMS Center for Basic Research on Materials. The AI first performs the information gathering and experimental design tasks normally done by humans, and then controls the robotic systems that can execute the required physical tasks.

The team demonstrated the potential of their system by using it to identify electrolytes that would be suitable for mediating the movement of ions in lithium-metal batteries.

The software, called the NIMS Orchestration System (NIMS-OS), contains two basic types of modules. The first uses AI algorithms to explore archived data on the properties of materials. It selects promising materials and proposes experimental procedures that would allow them to achieve a desired aim. The second type of module generates the instructions needed to control a robotic system that will put the instructions into practice.

To make the whole process as easy to use as possible for a wide range of researchers the team also designed an easy-to-use graphical user interface to control it.

"The results of initial work by the robotic system via NIMS-OS can be fed back to refine the AI algorithms that control it, through several cycles of test and improvement," says Tamura.

In the proof-of-concept task that explored options for making electrolytes that maximize the performance of an electrode in a lithium-metal battery, NIMS-OS utilized systems that were robotically assembled into electrochemical cells and subjected to charging and discharging cycles to analyze their performance. The results clearly identified the better electrolyte composition and indicated there is room for improvement on the electrolytes that are currently widely used commercially.

"Our NIMS-OS is now publicly available as open-source software at the widely used GitHub website," says Tamura. "We now plan to develop it further to allow it to work together with many different types of robotic experiment systems."

Digital Business Card Company Mobilo Secures $4.1M in Seed Funding

NEW YORK, Jul 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Networking just got an upgrade. Mobilo, the maker of the first smart business card for teams and digital business card scene, has raised $4.1 million in seed funding. Thanks to Deepwork Capital, TMT Investments, and some forward-thinking Dutch angel investors, the company is primed to make artificial intelligence (AI) the new best friend of your networking events and meetings, turning casual encounters into lead-generation opportunities.
Digital Business Card – The best digital business card for teams and enterprises.


AI-Driven Networking: Goodbye Paper, Hello Pixels

Here's a crazy stat: 27 million business cards are printed every single day. Mobilo is saying, "Enough is enough." They're ushering in the digital age of business cards, and it's a win-win. Not only are trees breathing a sigh of relief, but businesses are also saving time and money. Sharing your contact details is as simple as tapping your Mobilo digital business card on any modern smartphone.

Pieter Limburg (the founder and CEO), explains: "At Mobilo, we're all about making life easier through technology. And with the help of AI, Mobilo is determined to transform how you manage contacts, handle follow-ups, and convert those vital meetings into leads."

Getting Event ROI Right

You've probably been there. Measuring the ROI of an event is tough, whether you are visiting, exhibiting, or organizing. Traditional methods that involve sales teams manually entering lead info into CRMs are a headache and often riddled with inaccuracies. Mobilo's smart digital business cards are here to save the day (and your sanity). They automate the process, storing lead information directly into the CRM with a quick tap, improving data quality and boosting follow-ups and closure rates.

Your Data is Safe With Us

Mobilo isn't just another tech company; they were the first smart business card provider to bag the SOC 2 certification. That's a testament to their dedication to top-drawer security standards. They've also crafted their own proprietary security layer to take data protection to the next level. With the momentum of the seed funding, Mobilo is primed and ready to continue its journey to reshape the business networking landscape.

Quote from Robert Rees (Rexford Industrial's Director, Cybersecurity & Technology Operations): "We love how Mobilo has streamlined our user experience with their integrated and secure digital business card solution. On top of that, it aligns with Rexford's ESG efforts by eliminating paper cards altogether."

Tailored for Enterprises

Mobilo has a special place in its heart for mid to large-sized businesses and enterprises. Known for its dependability, top-notch security, and slick integration with CRM systems and HR tools, the company's cutting-edge tech can easily manage vast teams of over 10,000 members, such as big names like Marriott, AAA, and Banco Santander. Their technology ensures digital business cards are created and updated automatically, requiring zero manual intervention.

A Word from the Founder

Mobilo's CEO and founder, Pieter Limburg, puts it perfectly: "We're taking care of the mundane tasks like managing new contacts or scheduling follow-ups, so businesses can concentrate on networking effectively and boosting their brand."

With the rapid pace of digital transformation, Mobilo is ahead of the curve, extending its innovative solutions to virtual events as well. With fresh funding in the bank and an unwavering commitment to revolutionizing networking, Mobilo is all set to become a major game-changer in how businesses network and generate leads.

Commenting on his nomination, Davenport shared, "For over a decade, Rekor's mission has been to collect, connect and organize the world's mobility data to deliver safer, smarter, and more efficient transportation. I am very excited to become part of this mission and join the Board at a time when the Company is poised for rapid expansion and growth."
