Once, a long time ago, a shovel was a marvel of modern technology. Today, a shovel is $3.99 at the hardware store. Who says the same won't happen with robotics ?

I've been thinking about the potential of integrating machine learning into vehicle maintenance systems to automate the detection of component failures. Imagine a scenario where sensors throughout your car continuously monitor its various components, and if any critical part fails, the system detects it and alerts you or initiates necessary actions automatically.
I'm curious about the community's thoughts on this concept. Do you think leveraging machine learning in this way could significantly improve vehicle safety and maintenance efficiency? What challenges do you foresee in implementing such systems, and how could they be addressed?
Additionally, I'm interested in any real-world examples or experiences you may have with similar technologies or approaches. Have you come across any vehicles or systems that utilize machine learning for failure detection, and if so, what has been your experience with them?
Hi there, I am trying to solve an issue at my work which is going through the process of upgrading our digital filing system, which is currently a database type set up in File Explorer to an ECM system.We have been asked to tidy up and name thousands of data files spanning decades. Naturally, I am trying to automate a solution for my team as the time this would take is unachievable.
I have already been able to find a solution using Exiftool to add custom 'keywords' or tags for all the jpgs using a script that scans a parent folder and then all the sub-folders, and then assigns a common tag relating to that parent folder, in this case a site code. This is so that when you search for a site in the new ECM, any file with that site code will show up by using the associated metadata tag.
I am hoping to do the same for the hundreds of .mp4 and .mov files. I understand that Exiftool is limited when writing metadata to video files, and I am struggling to find the best solution. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I am a Cost Accountant at a medical device manufacturer in the US. I want to learn more about the future of manufacturing and become more a part of Capex decision and/or research. I know basically nothing of any kind of engineering, so I don't want to get into anything too niche right now. Are there any good events that I should attend?
So every week I need to open a list of URLs (around 350) to check for news updates. I have all of them in a Google Doc categorised by country, and I would like to find a way to automate the process. Any suggestions?
I have zero coding knowledge and I can’t install any app… Even just finding a way for me to not having to open each link manually would be helpful.
Thanks!

We're building an AI tool that creates podcasts on any topic by doing online research for you.
You can use it for free at anytopic.io.
You simply provide a description (prompt) and the tool will do research online to find content related to the topic you're looking to learn about. It will use one or multiple sites (news articles, blogs, social media, etc.) to create your episode. This is usually a 3-20 min podcast depending on the topic.
We found this to be a great way to do research on very specific topics and learn about them. This can be a question, something you saw online that was interesting, topics related to your work or just news. For instance, you can ask for interesting content related to automation or robotics or something more specific within that. I use it every day to learn about multiple topics without having to read or do online research on these. If it sounds interesting or you have any questions I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I have a Google sheet of URL's (300 to 400 in total).
How should I execute this?
This would really help me out, thanks!
So, I want to know if my work can be automated, basically, I have a google sheet where in every row I have, clients name, clients email, what he wants to sell, all obviously on different columns, and on the next row my boss writes what to do with this client. Basically there are different options based on what my boss writes on his column, but all the options involve sending emails. One of the options involves putting what he wants to sell on a different list in a email draft, all the other ones involve sending him a email, that I already have written out for all scenarios, to the email of the client. I wanted to know if I could automate this, and if someone is willing to help me or do it for me as a commission please DM me or help me out in the comments.

Hello, Im new here so I just wanted to know if this is possible.
Do you think I can automate what Im doing, So, my work basically consists of looking at a google sheet and sending emails to the clients email, the email I send is different depending what my boss wants, and he lets me know what he wants by, close to the clients email, telling me what to say to him. There is more than that so if someone is willing to do something like this please DM me.

Hi Everyone,
I do not know much about automating things but I have been interested. Currently, I have to take data from a website and copy/paste it to an excel sheet and then upload that sheet to the site. Is this something I can automate? I have to do this for about 70 items a day.
I hate that reddit forces the banner on bottom, can I use the Automate (By LlamaLab) app to crop the pics once I download them?? Sorry if this is more specific than this sub is for usually, but I'm open to solutions outside of the Automate app!! Just tired of the banner BS

Hello,
I just accepted a job as a Data Entry Specialist for a telecommunications company and I am working in their regulatory department. I am looking to automate processes in my new role and I figured this is the right sub to ask.
I am tasked to read a wide array of Regulatory documents and update the data in company systems. I am essentially performing data scrubbing on company databases. The problem is that the documents are all in pdf format. Worst yet, some of these documents are essentially images in pdf format and some are quite old like from 30 years ago.
One example is site surveys done by different environmental consulting companies so the layouts and formats vary depending on time-period of the survey and the company that is doing it. This is just one type of document I am expected to handle.
There is no standardized format or layout of the documents I am reviewing.
Is there a way to automate this process?
