MetAI Technology, a Taipei-based startup that makes 3D simulations for logistics and manufacturing industries, said on Wednesday it had raised $4 million from

Nvidia has been doubling down on the opportunity to build robotics and other industrial AI applications, with the launch of its Omniverse platform, and

Taiwan’s MetAI has developed a model that can quickly generate ‘SimReady’ (simulation-ready) digital twins using AI and 3D technology, by converting CAD files into functional 3D environments within minutes.

San Diego gene sequencing giant Illumina is investing more in artificial intelligence to fuel the company’s growth strategy through a partnership with Nvidia. Nvidia — the Santa Clara tech company at the forefront of artificial intelligence computing — and Illumina are combining their strengths to make genomic sequencing more efficient for researchers.

Illumina will offer its DRAGEN analysis software on Nvidia’s accelerated computing platforms through the next-gen sequencing giant’s Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA) platform.
