Live Video Production-The Journey to the Cloud (Webinar))

This talk explores the evolution of traditional broadcast production, which relies on proprietary hardware and on-site personnel, and how this model is being transformed through cloud-based solutions. We will examine the transition from on-premise broadcast equipment to modern cloud environments, enabling remote operations from virtually anywhere. Key industry initiatives will be discussed, focusing on how extremely high data rates (up to 0.5Tbit/s) are managed with millisecond latency.

Utilization of NeuroEvolution optimization on the design process of biohybrid actuators

The characteristics of soft robots make them better candidates for applications such as healthcare against their traditional counterparts, due to their enhanced safety, adaptability and trivial human-robot interaction. Different actuating systems have been proposed for soft robotics, with the most interesting one being biohybrid actuators.
