SINGAPORE: British technology firm Dyson, known for its vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans, opened a new £330 million (S$587 million) research and development centre at the Singapore's Science Park on Monday (Feb 13).

The facility will focus on developing new technologies for the future, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, fluid dynamics and vision systems.

It will house the Global Technology Centre of Excellence, which will lead downstream research and development for new product categories and Internet of Things technologies to support the firm's move into the smart homes market.

Dyson's founder and chief engineer James Dyson said engineers at the new facility will work on bringing hardware, electronics and software together.

"The software is propelling hardware companies at a faster rate than software is propelling software companies. The power comes from the two working together,” he said. “Dyson is focusing on developing intelligent technology and making products which know and anticipate what you want before you do. Machine learning gives our products the intelligence to understand and react to the environment."

Speaking at the launch, Trade and Industry (Industry) Minister S Iswaran said Singapore will continue to work with industry partners to support innovation and internationalisation.

"These efforts will better position our enterprises to seize opportunities in growth sectors such as advanced manufacturing and the digital economy, as well as create good job opportunities for our people,” said Mr Iswaran.

Dyson, which currently employs 1,100 people in Singapore, said it plans to grow its Singapore-based engineering team by 50 per cent. It is seeking talent across a broad range of engineering disciplines, including connectivity, motors, sensors, robotics and software. The new centre will create an additional 190 jobs over the next five years.

Sutra in Forty-Two Sections

Sutra in Forty-Two Sections
Section 4
Clarifying Good and Evil

The Buddha said, "Living beings may perform Ten Good Deeds or Ten Evil Deeds. What are the ten? Three are done with the body, four are done with the mouth, and three are done with the mind. The three done with the body are killing, stealing, and lust. The four done with the mouth are duplicity, harsh speech, lies, and frivolousspeech. The three done with the mind are jealousy, hatred, and stupidity. Thus these ten are not in accord with the Way of Sages and are called the Ten Evil Deeds. To put a stop to these evils is to perform the Ten Good Deeds."
