Today, I am reading: Amazon will develop autonomous delivery robot tech in Finland

-

Amazon has announced plans to develop automated delivery robot technology in Finland.

In a blog post published on July 1, the tech giant said its new development centre in Helsinki would take on over two dozen engineers.

The Finnish team will carry out research and development for Amazon Scout, the company's autonomous delivery service currently operating in a few locations in the US.

According to Amazon, the Finnish team's focus will be on developing 3D software which "simulate the complexity of real life," in order to "ensure Scout can safely navigate around obstacles/ˈɒbstəkl/ while making deliveries".

Amazon takeover

It was reported in January that Amazon had acquired Umbra, a Helsinki-based 3D modelling specialist.

Umbra's co-founder Seppo Lappalainen, who now works for Amazon Robotics in Helsinki, highlighted some of the company's previous products on his LinkedIn profile. They include "a cloud-based service for optimising/ˈɒptɪmaɪz/ and delivering massive 3D datasets to virtually any platform".

"The prime use-case revolves around 3D scanning of real environments," he wrote.

Before Umbra's takeover by Amazon, the company had won roughly €3 million in funding from venture capital investors.

Not the only drone/drəʊn/ in town

Amazon's arrival in Finland follows that of rival tech giant Alphabet, whose Wing drone delivery subsidiary began a pilot operation in the Nordic country in 2019.

Wing's unmanned/ˌʌnˈmænd/ aeria/ˈeəriəl/l drones operate a delivery service in the eastern Helsinki suburb of Vuosaari.

According to social media posts by Wing, Vuosaari residents can order products from a local grocery chain, food from a Helsinki catering/ˈkeɪtə(r)/ service and chocolates from one of Finland's best-known brands, Fazer.

Amazon has announced plans to develop automated delivery robot technology in Finland.

Amazon đã công bố kế hoạch phát triển công nghệ robot giao hàng tự động tại Phần Lan.

In a blog post published on July 1, the tech giant said its new development centre in Helsinki would take on over two dozen engineers.

Trong một bài đăng trên blog được xuất bản vào ngày 1 tháng 7, gã khổng lồ công nghệ cho biết trung tâm phát triển mới của họ ở Helsinki sẽ tiếp nhận hơn hai chục kỹ sư.

The Finnish team will carry out research and development for Amazon Scout, the company's autonomous delivery service currently operating in a few locations in the US.

Nhóm Phần Lan sẽ thực hiện nghiên cứu và phát triển cho Amazon Scout, dịch vụ giao hàng tự động của công ty hiện đang hoạt động tại một số địa điểm ở Mỹ.

According to Amazon, the Finnish team's focus will be on developing 3D software which "simulate the complexity of real life," in order to "ensure Scout can safely navigate around obstacles/ˈɒbstəkl/ while making deliveries".

Theo Amazon, trọng tâm của nhóm Phần Lan sẽ là phát triển phần mềm 3D "mô phỏng sự phức tạp của cuộc sống thực", nhằm "đảm bảo Scout có thể điều hướng an toàn xung quanh các chướng ngại vật / ˈɒbstəkl / trong khi giao hàng".

Amazon takeover

It was reported in January that Amazon had acquired Umbra, a Helsinki-based 3D modelling specialist.

Vào tháng 1, có báo cáo rằng Amazon đã mua lại Umbra, một chuyên gia lập mô hình 3D có trụ sở tại Helsinki.

Umbra's co-founder Seppo Lappalainen, who now works for Amazon Robotics in Helsinki, highlighted some of the company's previous products on his LinkedIn profile. They include "a cloud-based service for optimising/ˈɒptɪmaɪz/ and delivering massive 3D datasets to virtually any platform".

Người đồng sáng lập của Umbra, Seppo Lappalainen, hiện làm việc cho Amazon Robotics ở Helsinki, đã nêu bật một số sản phẩm trước đây của công ty trên hồ sơ LinkedIn của anh ấy. Chúng bao gồm "dịch vụ dựa trên đám mây để tối ưu hóa / ˈɒptˈɒmaɪz / và cung cấp bộ dữ liệu 3D khổng lồ cho hầu hết mọi nền tảng".

"The prime use-case revolves around 3D scanning of real environments," he wrote.

"Trường hợp sử dụng chính xoay quanh việc quét 3D các môi trường thực", ông viết.

Before Umbra's takeover by Amazon, the company had won roughly €3 million in funding from venture capital investors.

Trước khi Umbra tiếp quản bởi Amazon, công ty đã giành được khoảng 3 triệu euro tiền tài trợ từ các nhà đầu tư mạo hiểm.

Không phải máy bay không người lái / drəʊn / duy nhất trong thị trấn

Amazon's arrival in Finland follows that of rival tech giant Alphabet, whose Wing drone delivery subsidiary began a pilot operation in the Nordic country in 2019.

Sự xuất hiện của Amazon ở Phần Lan theo sau sự xuất hiện của gã khổng lồ công nghệ đối thủ Alphabet, công ty con của hãng giao hàng bằng máy bay không người lái Wing bắt đầu hoạt động thử nghiệm tại quốc gia Bắc Âu vào năm 2019.

Wing's unmanned/ˌʌnˈmænd/ aeria/ˈeəriəl/l drones operate a delivery service in the eastern Helsinki suburb of Vuosaari.

Máy bay không người lái không người lái / ˌʌnˈmænd / aeria / ˈeəriəl / l của Wing vận hành dịch vụ giao hàng ở ngoại ô Vuosaari phía đông Helsinki.

According to social media posts by Wing, Vuosaari residents can order products from a local grocery chain, food from a Helsinki catering/ˈkeɪtə(r)/ service and chocolates from one of Finland's best-known brands, Fazer.

Theo các bài đăng trên mạng xã hội của Wing, người dân Vuosaari có thể đặt mua sản phẩm từ một chuỗi cửa hàng tạp hóa địa phương, thực phẩm từ dịch vụ ăn uống / ˈkeɪtə (r) / của Helsinki và sôcôla từ một trong những thương hiệu nổi tiếng nhất Phần Lan, Fazer.

today, I'm reading: Chinese firms are increasing diversification outside of China, says HSBC CEO

Noel Quinn, chief executive officer of HSBC Holdings Plc, speaks during the Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit in Hong Kong, China, on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023. Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter, which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world. Hong Kong CNN   — Diversification away from China is increasing, and it doesn’t just affect foreign companies, according to HSBC CEO Noel Quinn. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy forum in Singapore on Wednesday, Quinn said the head of one of HSBC’s units had recently reported a 70% jump “in activity in helping Chinese clients diversify their business model outside of the land mass of China. So that’s an interesting shift.” Quinn, who was appointed CEO in 2020, said data showed there was more activity on “Chinese clients going out of China at this point in time than there is activity into China.” He was responding to a question on firms de-risking from ...

What it’s like to work with ADHD AJ Willingham, senior culture writer at CNN, sits in her home office. CNN   —Editor’s Note: AJ Willingham is senior culture writer for CNN.   “When you move again, you are going to go downstairs, and you are going to collect the clean clothes from the dryer.”   This is what I tell myself as I sit at my desk and stare out the window, paralyzed by the mounting weight of this simple task. It’s the end of the workday, and my 3:30 p.m. Adderall is coursing through my veins like blue lightning. If I don’t try to move now, I could find myself staring vacantly at a computer screen for the next two hours. I don’t want that. I want to go downstairs and gather the laundry that’s sitting in the dryer, because laundry is one of those things that I, a functional person, should be able to do with basic fluency. “And, while you’re there,” my brain adds, “you can get a trash bag.” A trash bag, to bring to my home office where I work as a se...

Today, I'm reading: Are we living in a computer simulation? This physicist says his study supports the theory.

 A physicist in the UK has published research that he says provides some support to the theory that the universe is essentially a giant computer simulation.   A physicist in the UK has published research that he says provides some support to the theory that the universe is essentially a giant computer simulation. - Copyright Canva Dr Melvin Vopson published the research in AIP Advances which suggests that the universe behaves just like a computer, ordering and deleting unnecessary information. What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis isn’t a novel idea and it’s enjoyed some mainstream appeal through movies like The Matrix and high-profile proponents like Elon Musk. Now a physicist working at the University of Portsmouth in the UK has published research in the AIP Advances journal that he says provides support to the strange theory. “I don't want to paraphrase Morpheus from The Matr...
