The AI Supply Chain Whisperer
When Anthony Noguera arrived at UC Berkeley in the 1990s, he could not have foreseen that his graduate studies in industrial engineering and operations research would one day take him all over the world and allow him to redefine how global supply chains operate. After more than two decades at NVIDIA, Anthony is harnessing the…

Professor Goldberg was highlighted in a recent article by The Economist on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Ken Goldberg and Vinod Kumar, the chief executive of Tata communications, created an optimistic report detailing the possible effects of AI on blue collar and white collar workers. Their report highlights the possibility of increasing job satisfaction by removing mundane…
Read MoreAUTOLAB research featured in New York Times
The UC Berkeley Laboratory for Automation Science and Engineering (AUTOLAB) was featured in the New York Times today for its research on robotic grasping. The article featured AUTOLAB’s Dex-Net robot which can pick up and sort objects that it has never encountered before using machine learning and neural network algorithms. “What you really want is…
Read MoreNew York Times showcases AUTOLAB research on robot grasping
Today, the New York Times featured research being conducted at the UC Berkeley Laboratory for Automation Science and Engineering (AUTOLAB) led by IEOR Professor Ken Goldberg. AUTOLAB is breaking new ground in the area of robot grasping by helping robots teach themselves to reliably grasp irregularly-shaped objects that they have never encountered before. The robot uses a neural network to analyze a…
