ACCELERATION-ROBOTICS
16.6.2022 07:02:04 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Acceleration Robotics S.L., a robotics semiconductor startup based in the Basque Country and focused on designing customized brains for robots to hasten their response time via FPGAs and GPUs released ROBOTCORE ™, a hardware acceleration framework for the Robot Operating System (ROS) , the standard in robotics. Delivering semiconductor building blocks for robots, the company creates custom compute architectures for high performance robots through hardware acceleration while remaining robot and accelerator-agnostic (supporting popular FPGAs and GPUs).

ROBOTCORE™ allows robotic engineers to create ROS and ROS 2 API-compatible Intellectual Property (IP) cores that increase the robot's performance, including latency and throughput. These “robot cores” make robots faster, more deterministic and power-efficient . ROBOTCORE™ launches with support for more than 10 development boards, including the most popular hardware acceleration solutions to build robots with ROS.
The framework builds on top of proven open-source software in robotics, such as ROS 2, so that roboticists don't spend time redeveloping what already works and focus instead on delivering higher performance robotic applications. While providing a vendor-agnostic ROS-centric development flow, ROBOTCORE™ solves customer design challenges in robotic areas including sensing, perception, mapping, localization, motion control, low-level control or actuation, with speedups surpassing 500x modern processors .
“Robots are networks of networks, with sensors passing data to compute technologies and actuators. These networks can be understood as the nervous system of the robot. Like with the human nervous system, low latency and real-time information is fundamental for the robot to behave coherently. Faster robots (or with more dexterity) require faster computations. Hardware acceleration with ROBOTCORE™ empowers exactly this. With ROS being the common language roboticists use to build “robot brains”, ROBOTCORE™ extends ROS and deals with GPU and FPGA vendor-proprietary libraries, empowering hardware acceleration across silicon vendors”. – Víctor Mayoral-Vilches , Acceleration Robotics, Founder.

WSJ Intelligence Study: Uniquely Human Skills Deemed "Non-Replicable" in Automated Future23.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
Philip Morris International and WSJ Intelligence reveal a "Human Premium" in the AI era, warning of cognitive atrophy risks alongside rapid corporate automation Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) and WSJ Intelligence, the in-house thought leadership consultancy for The Wall Street Journal's commercial sales organization, today revealed topline findings from a forthcoming study at Journal House during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The study delivered a clear takeaway for global businesses: human cognition must be the absolute forefront of the modern corporate landscape. The findings show that uniquely human skills are vital, non-replicable, and increasingly valuable in an AI-embedded future, with creative empathy and critical thinking among the most distinctive workplace advantages. Surveying over 2,500 business professionals across the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa and Brazil, the joint initiative is the largest-scale research pro
