#Resistive RAM (ReRAM) technology | onsemi Treo platform to provide embedded non-volatile memory | ReRAM integration into Bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) process | Potential alternative to flash memory | Demand for faster, more efficient, and scalable memory solutions increasing | Lower power consumption | Less vulnerable to common hacking tactics | ReRAM can be integrated easily into chip designs without interfering with power analog components

#A-list celebrity home protector | Burglaries targeting high-end items | Burglary report on Lime Orchard Road | Burglar had smashed glass door of residence | Ransacked home and fled | Couple were not home at the time | Unknown whether any items were taken | Lime Orchard Road is within Hidden Valley gated community of Los Angeles in Beverly Hills | Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lawrence, Adele and Katy Perry have purchased homes there, in addition to Kidman and Urban | Kidman and Urban bought their home for $4.7 million in 2008 | 4,100-square-foot, five-bedroom home built in 1965 and sits on 1¼-acre lot | Property large windows have views of the canyons | Theirs is one of several celebrity properties burglarized in Los Angeles and across country recently | Connected to South American organized-theft rings

#Professional athlete home protector | South American crime rings | Targeting wealthy Southern California neighborhoods for sophisticated home burglaries | Behind burglaries at homes of professional athletes and celebrities | Theft groups conduct extensive research before plotting burglaries | Monitoring target whereabouts and weekly routines via social media | Tracking travel and schedules | Conducting physical surveillance at homes | Attacks staged while targets and their families are away | Robbers aware of where valuables are stored in homes prior to staging break-ins | Burglaries conducted in short amount of time | Bypass alarm systems | Use Wi-Fi jammers to block Wi-Fi connections | Disable devices | Cover security cameras | Obfuscate identities

#ROS 2 | The second version of the Robot Operating System | Communication, compatibility with other operating systems | Authentication and encryption mechanisms | Works natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS | Fast RTPS based on DDS (Data Distribution Service) | Programming languages: C++, Python, Rust

#Dexterous robot | Manipulate objects with precision, adaptability, and efficiency | Dexterity involves fine motor control, coordination, ability to handle a wide range of tasks, often in unstructured environments | Key aspects of robot dexterity include grip, manipulation, tactile sensitivity, agility, and coordination | Robot dexterity is crucial in: manufacturing, healthcare, logistics | Dexterity enables automation in tasks that traditionally require human-like precision

#Agentic AI | Artificial intelligence systems with a degree of autonomy, enabling them to make decisions, take actions, and learn from experiences to achieve specific goals, often with minimal human intervention | Agentic AI systems are designed to operate independently, unlike traditional AI models that rely on predefined instructions or prompts | Reinforcement learning (RL) | Deep neural network (DNN) | Multi-agent system (MAS) | Goal-setting algorithm | Adaptive learning algorithm | Agentic agents focus on autonomy and real-time decision-making in complex scenarios | Ability to determine intent and outcome of processes | Planning and adapting to changes | Ability to self-refine and update instructions without outside intervention | Full autonomy requires creativity and ability to anticipate changing needs before they occur proactively | Agentic AI benefits Industry 4.0 facilities monitoring machinery in real time, predicting failures, scheduling maintenance, reducing downtime, and optimizing asset availability, enabling continuous process optimization, minimizing waste, and enhancing operational efficiency

#Incremental encoder | Rotary or linear sensor | Generates a series of pulses as it moves | Using two output channels to determine direction | Measures relative motion by counting pulses from a known starting position | Providing high resolution and speed measurement capabilities | Unlike absolute encoder, incremental encoder requires a reference point or homing procedure to establish an initial position | It does not maintain absolute position information when powered off

#Field Foundation Model (FFMs) | Physical world model using sensor data as an input | Field AI robots can understand how to move in world, rather than just where to move | Very heavy probabilistic modeling | World modeling becomes by-product of Field AI.robots operating in the world rather than prerequisite for that operation | Aim is to just deploy robot, with no training time needed | Autonomous robotic systems applucations | Field AI is software company making sensor payloads that integrate with their autonomy software | Autonomous humanoid Field AI can do | Focus on platforms that are more affordable | Integrating mobility with high-level planning, decision making, and mission execution | Potential to take advantage of relatively inexpensive robots is what is going to make the biggest difference toward Field AI commercial success

#Large Language Model (LLM) | Foundational LLM: ex Wikipedia in all its languages fed to LLM one word at a time | LLM is trained to predict the next word most likely to appear in that context | LLM intellugence is based on its ability to predict what comes next in a sentence | LLMs are amazing artifacts, containing a model of all of language, on a scale no human could conceive or visualize | LLMs do not apply any value to information, or truthfulness of sentences and paragraphs they have learned to produce | LLMs are powerful pattern-matching machines but lack human-like understanding, common sense, or ethical reasoning | LLMs produce merely a statistically probable sequence of words based on their training | LLMs are very good at summarizing | Inappropriate use of LLMs as search engines has produced lots of unhappy results | LLM output follows path of most likely words and assembles them into sentences | Pathological liars as a source for information | Incredibly good at turning pre-existing information into words | Give them facts and let them explain or impart them

#Retrieval Augmented Generation. (RAG LLM) | Designed for answering queries in a specific subject, for example, how to operate a particular appliance, tool, or type of machinery | LLM takes as much textual information about subject, user manuals and then pre-process it into small chunks containing few specific facts | When user asks question, software system identifies chunk of text which is most likely to contain answer | Question and answer are then fed to LLM, which generates human-language answer in response to query | Enforcing factualness on LLMs

#Large Behavior Model (LBM) | Controlling the entire robot actions | Joint research partnership between Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute | Collaboration aims to create a general-purpose humanoid assistant | Whole-body movements: walking, crouching, and lifting to complete tasks that involve sorting and packing

#Vision-language model (VLM) | Training vision models when labeled data unavailable | Techniques enabling robots to determine appropriate actions in novel situations | LLMs used as visual reasoning coordinators | Using multiple task-specific models
