Autonomous Construction Vehicles Are Building the Future

Autonomous Construction Vehicles Are Building the Future

Communications of the ACM — While there has been an outsized amount of hype around self-driving cars over the past few years, regulatory and technological challenges likely will delay their introduction until at least the early part of the next decade.

The Effectiveness of Coding Camps

The Effectiveness of Coding Camps

Communications of the ACM — Andrew Sorensen has been working as a software engineer for technology company Expedia for the past 16 months, but unlike many programmers, the former car salesman didn't spend years toiling away at a university studying computer science.

Automating Organic Synthesis

Automating Organic Synthesis

Communications of the ACM — The image of a chemist slaving away in a lab, haphazardly pouring steaming test tubes of multi-colored liquid into bubbling beakers amid stacks of leather-bound reference books has long been relegated to old Hollywood films or TV shows.

Legal Issues with Robots

Using AI for More Accurate Weather Forecasting

Using AI for More Accurate Weather Forecasting

Tractica — Since the beginning of time, humans have tried to accurately forecast the weather, using historical data and patterns to infer what might occur in the future.

Quantum Volume: A New Quantum Metric?

Quantum Volume: A New Quantum Metric?

Tractica — Over the past several years, the benchmark for determining whether quantum computing is a viable commercial technology has been quantum supremacy. This term was coined by Caltech professor and quantum computing guru John Preskill to describe the demonstration of a quantum computer that can carry out tasks not possible or practical with a traditional computer.
