There is little doubt that in the future, more jobs will be rooted in technology than ever. This means that just like topics like maths and science, kids these days should also start learning about technology at a young age. This sentiment has been shared by many around the world, some of whom feel that such topics should be mandatory in schools.
The idea that one day robots could eventually replace certain jobs isn’t exactly a new one. In fact, over in New Delhi, India, it seems that some jobs are already on the verge of being replaced where what could be a first in India, a restaurant has rolled out a pair of robots named Champa and Chameli who will be capable of taking orders and serving customers.
We have known what 3D printers are capable of – from designing a school project to a real-world model, it has a lot of applications.Usually, we imagine something small or portable to be 3D-printed. But, this time, a report by WIRED reveals that some huge AI-powered robots are in the process of 3D-printing an entire rocket.The startup ‘Relativity Space’ is all set to combine the power of Artifical Intelligence and […]
Last Thursday at TC Disrupt 2019, we encountered Matternet, the first drone technology that will deliver UPS packages up to 5 pounds. On October 1st, 2019, UPS subsidiary UPS Flight Forward Inc announced it has received the first full Part 135 Standard certification to operate a drone airline, using Matternet’s drones.We covered the announcement of Matternet and UPS partnership a few months back, and last week, the U.S. government made […]
Unlike humans, robots do not come with the ability to think for themselves. This means that what a robot can do is pretty much what its creator has programmed it to do. While this is useful in factories on the assembly line where a robot might only have a few things to do, it becomes less useful when interacting with the real world.
Our brains are amazing things and we have all see movies where characters can use their minds to control objects or even people. While it might seem far-fetched, there is a grain of truth in such movies, especially when in real-life, we have seen scientists and researchers develop tools that can be controlled using our brain.
DJI is a staple in the drone market, but it seems that Skydio could pose a serious threat to the company with their latest drone, the Skydio 2, the successor to the Skydio R1 that comes in a more compact and lightweight package. In terms of specs, the Skydio 2 will feature a main 12MP camera with a 3-axis gimbal and is powered by Qualcomm’s RedDragon QSC605 technology, allowing the […]
As a delivery company, UPS has certainly done a lot in terms of trying to improve on its operations with hi-tech solutions. In fact, more recently, it seems that you might be able to expect to start seeing more UPS drones making deliveries, thanks to the FAA recently giving the company’s subsidiary, UPS Flight Forward, the approval to act as a “drone airline”.
Drones are great for photography and videography, but it seems that drones are now an excellent tool for law enforcement. According to a report from the New Zealand Herald, it seems that a Chinese fugitive on the run from authorities for the past 17 years was finally caught after a drone had spotted him living in a secret cave.
As realistic as some robots can look, it can be obvious that they are still robots namely due to their movements which can come across looking unnatural. This is because unlike humans, robots do not possess the muscles nor the thought processes needed to move more naturally, but researchers at Virginia Tech are hoping to change that.
Boston Dynamics, which is a robotics company is finally ready to take orders for its dog-like robot ‘Spot’. It will cost you less than the price of a car (but it will still be expensive for the consumers), as reported by IEEE Spectrum.You can just head right into their official product page and submit a request to take one for lease. Even though the price does not attract general consumers, […]
The folks at Boston Dynamics have been making huge strides with their robot designs, where in the past we have seen the company create dog-like robots that can run and jump and traverse rocky terrain. We’ve also seen them introduce humanoid robots like Atlas that can walk on two legs, but now it looks like the robot has managed to learn some new tricks.
