TOKYO, Jan 27, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) today announced the development of a control technology that doubles the efficiency of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in warehouses while maintaining a high level of safety. NEC plans to put this technology into practical use by March 2024 and to have it installed in NEC's cooperative AMRs in Japan.Overview of the autonomous mobile robot control technologyIn recent years, the introduction of robots for transporting materials has accelerated due to labor shortages and large warehouses. However, even when robots have been introduced to automate transport work, it has been necessary to reduce traveling speed to ensure safety, and the improvement of transport efficiency has become a challenge. Since it has been necessary to construct passageways and areas dedicated to mobile robots in order accelerate speed while ensuring safety, it has been difficult to introduce robots into existing warehouses. However, NEC has developed "risk-sensitive stochastic control technology"(*) that can control autonomous mobile robots and meet safety demands. This has been accomplished by utilizing models that can express u...

Hong Kong – Many people have heard the term “cryptocurrency,” but few of people really understand what it means. Let SEAPRWire‘s Experts explore what some people have dubbed “the money of the future.” Back in the 90’s during the tech onslaught, there were a few attempts to create a new market for a new currency: digital currency. Names like DigiCash, Beenz and DigiCash might ring a bell. Unfortunately, they did not work out. The breakthrough came in 2009, the year Bitcoin came on the scene. There is some speculation as to who founded Bitcoin, however one alias that is synonymous with Bitcoin’s founding is Satoshi Nakamoto. According to WikiPedia, Nakamoto was the name used by the individual who was known to author a whitepaper on Bitcoin. Although the general population may not be too interested in or have much knowledge about cryptocurrency technology, this is something that banks and governments have certainly started to tune into. The cryptocurrency systems are typically built on a peer-to-peer network that realizes accounts, balances and transactions. If a peer-to-peer type network is ringing a bell, this was the same foundation that was used by Napster when it first started op...

NEC Develops Secure Biometric Authentication Technology to Enable Certification with Encrypted Face Information

TOKYO, Dec 16, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) today announced the development of a secure biometric authentication technology that allows users to authenticate themselves with encrypted face information. This technology reduces the risk of misuse if face information is leaked and contributes to the expansion of safe and secure biometric authentication use cases.With the application of this technology, all face information handled by service providers is encrypted. Therefore, even if encrypted face information is leaked, the risk of being misused for spoofing is low. Moreover, since users have a secret key for decryption, service providers cannot decrypt face information, enabling users to take advantage of the face recognition service with peace of mind. Face recognition is increasingly being introduced as a means of identity verification, but in the unlikely event that registered face information is leaked, it may lead to misuse, such as spoofing. As a result, greater attention is being paid to technologies that perform biometric authentication while encrypting information, such as face information. Specifically, homomorphic encryption(1) is ...

SINGAPORE - After almost six decades of growth, Singapore Technologies Engineering has entered a new phase of transformation. This has involved divestment of at least a dozen businesses and investment, and a refocusing on new core capabilities for a technology- and digital-driven future. It has consolidated its myriad business units - including aerospace engineering, defence, marine technology and even pilot training - into a more tightly knit, inter-connected and focused organisation comprising two major divisions - commercial as well as defence and public security. These two divisions leverage on a common engineering technology platform, which in turn is supported by shared services and common group corporate functions. Instead of multiple boards, the entire company reports to a single board. Driving these changes is chief executive officer Vincent Chong, a former US-based senior executive of global energy giant Exxon, who took over the helm in late 2016. "We started this journey to build on the success of our pioneers," he told The Straits Times in an exclusive interview. "It was driven by the recognition that having one brand identity is important on the global stage and in a n...
