Smart Eye, a world-leading producer of AI-powered eye tracking technology for semi-autonomous cars, announces two additional contracts with a global Korean OEM. The new nomination extends Smart Eye’s driver monitoring systems to two car models, on top of the 14 previously communicated design wins with the customer. The agreement also expands the functionality of the driver monitoring systems with additional advanced safety features.

Production of the premium car models containing Smart Eye’s technology will begin in late 2021. The estimated revenue for the two models is 100 MSEK, based on product life cycle volume projections.

"I am very happy to be able to take our collaboration with our existing Korean customer to the next level.

This demonstrates Sogou’s industry-leading capabilities in search and recommendation.

The MIND News Recommendation Competition is committed to promoting the research and practice related to news recommendation, which is a challenging task due to the ever-accelerating complexity of news information and updates, as well as the diverse and dynamic interests of users.

Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien: The Prize in Economic Sciences 2020: Their theoretical discoveries have improved auctions in practice

Leave a comment

MALMOE, Sweden, Oct. 12, 2020 —

This year’s Laureates, Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson have studied how auctions work. They have also used their insights to design new auction formats for goods and services that are difficult to sell in a traditional way, such as radio frequencies. Their discoveries have benefitted sellers, buyers and taxpayers around the world.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2020 to Paul R. Milgrom, Stanford University, USA and Robert B. Wilson, Stanford University, USA, "for improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats".

People have always sold things to the highest bidder, or bought them from whoever makes the cheapest offer. Nowadays, objects worth astronomical sums of money change hands every day in auctions, not only household objects, art and antiquities, but also securities, minerals and energy. Public procurements can also be conducted as auctions.

Using auction theory, researchers try to understand the outcomes of different rules for bidding and final prices, the auction format. The analysis is difficult, because bidders behave strategically, based on the available information. They take into consideration both what they know themselves and what they believe other bidders to know.

Robert Wilson developed the theory for auctions of objects with a common value – a value which is uncertain beforehand but, in the end, is the same for everyone. Examples include the future value of radio frequencies or the volume of minerals in a particular area. Wilson showed why rational bidders tend to place bids below their own best estimate of the common value: they are worried about the winner’s curse – that is, about paying too much and losing out.

Paul Milgrom formulated a more general theory of auctions that not only allows common values, but also private values that vary from bidder to bidder. He analysed the bidding strategies in a number of well-known auction formats, demonstrating that a format will give the seller higher expected revenue when bidders learn more about each other’s estimated values during bidding.

Over time, societies have allocated ever more complex objects among users, such as landing slots and radio frequencies. In response, Milgrom and Wilson invented new formats for auctioning off many interrelated objects simultaneously, on behalf of a seller motivated by broad societal benefit rather than maximal revenue. In 1994, the US authorities first used one of their auction formats to sell radio frequencies to telecom operators. Since then, many other countries have followed suit.

"This year’s Laureates in Economic Sciences started out with fundamental theory and later used their results in practical applications, which have spread globally. Their discoveries are of great benefit to society," says Peter Fredriksson, chair of the Prize Committee.

TOKYO, Oct. 12, 2020 — Innophys Co., Ltd., which develops and sells wearable work-assisting robot MUSCLE SUIT Every, was selected as a finalist in the "2020 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific," one of the world’s most prestigious PR awards, on September 24 for its publicity campaign to encourage younger people to present their parents with the product on Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. The company won the honor in addition to winning the "2020 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific" on August 26 for the same campaign.

Innophys conducted the PR campaign in April-May in cooperation with BlueCurrent Japan.

About MUSCLE SUIT Every:

MUSCLE SUIT Every is a wearable work-assisting robotic suit developed by Innophys Co., Ltd., a venture company that originated in Tokyo University of Science. The robotic exoskeleton suit uses pneumatic artificial muscle to assist movements, such as lifting up heavy items or a person and maintaining a half-crouching position, with up to 25.5kgf of assistive force to lighten the load on the backs. MUSCLE SUIT Every is excellent in that it can be used for jobs outdoors or with water because the machine does not need electric power. Since it was released in 2014, MUSCLE SUIT Every has been in widespread use at nursing care, farming, manufacturing, distribution and construction sites, and in other labor-intensive activities. By the end of June 2020, MUSCLE SUIT Every has sold over 13,000 units.

The latest model of MUSCLE SUIT Every, which was placed on the market in Japan in November 2019, is the lightest of all MUSCLE SUIT models, at only 3.8 kilograms, while maintaining its capacity to provide auxiliary force up to 25.5kgf. The price of the latest model has been reduced to below 30% of its past models, making it easier for not only corporate customers to introduce the robot for use at work sites but also individual customers to buy the machine to provide nursing care for their elderly family members or grow vegetables at home, among other purposes.

As part of its overseas expansion, the company began to sell MUSCLE SUIT Every in Taiwan this past summer, making it easier for both corporate and individual customers in the region to buy the robotic suit.

About the campaign to encourage younger people to present their fathers and mothers with MUSCLE SUIT Every on Father’s and Mother’s Days:

Innophys has been selected as a finalist of the 2020 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific and winner of the 2020 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific for a twitter campaign it conducted in April and May this year for Father’s and Mother’s Days in Japan. In the campaign, those who wanted to present their fathers and mothers with MUSCLE SUIT Every were invited to tweet messages describing the specific scenes where they wanted their fathers and mothers to use the robotic suit with a hashtag, "okuru kinniku" ("muscle as a present"). The company offered MUSCLE SUIT Every to prize winners in the campaign at heavily discounted prices, and MUSCLE SUIT Every was sent directly to the parents of the winners. Many winners subsequently uploaded photos of their parents smiling after receiving the product to their twitter accounts. As a result, information regarding MUSCLE SUIT Every reached over 900,000 people online.

About SABRE Awards, IN2 SABRE Awards:

The SABRE Awards honor is one of the world’s most prestigious PR awards. SABRE, which stands for "Superior Achievement in Branding and Reputation," honors PR campaigns that made outstanding performance in branding and reputation building.

Among the SABRE Awards, the IN2 SABRE Awards, which Innophys won just recently, commends excellent solutions. IN2 stands for "Insight + Innovation."

Innophys’ campaign to encourage younger people to present their parents with MUSCLE SUIT Every was highly commended as a campaign that made effective use of digital media based on the concept of PR-driven business practices, and won the award for the "Best Use of Global Social Networking Platforms."
