Nanjing subway station revealed its automated guided vehicle (AGV) robotic parking garage, which significantly reduces the time and space needed to park a car. Drivers simply need to book a space using a mobile phone application, leave their vehicle at the entrance of the garage, where a lifter delivers the car underground and a robotic roller transports the car to the parking space. Parking time is between two to three minutes and the design uses up to 40 percent less space than the average lot. The recently completed system, which is currently in its final test phase, is expected to be put into operation following the Chinese New Year.
McDonald's franchisee Chris Habiger gave a tour to media at his technologically advanced restaurant in in St. Joseph, Missouri, on Wednesday, just a day before his next generation McDonald's restaurant is to open for customers on Thursday morning. Increasing use of robots in fast food comes amid a country-wide push to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Of course, robots don't need a salary.
With the debut of the next-generation iPhone likely three months away — a new one traditionally launches each September — the Apple rumor mill is heating up right on schedule. Allegedly leaked photos of Apple's upcoming iPhone, presumed to be called the iPhone 6S, reveal an exterior casing that looks nearly identical to the iPhone 6 but comes with some internal updates. The details come from tech site 9to5Mac, which has a solid track record of correctly identifying leaks ahead of an Apple launch. Despite initial rumors that the next-generation 4.7-inch iPhone could be even slimmer than the iPhone 6, the leaked photos show no changes to the casing. If the photos are legit, any differences in thickness, length or width are too small to notice. This doesn't come as a huge surprise, considering the iPhone is on an "S" cycle this year, which traditionally has fewer design changes and more internal upgrades.
It's all Retina display and 64-bit from here on out. 9to5Mac noticed that Apple quietly removed the original iPad mini from its website and store, suggesting that the device is no longer available. Until its removal on Friday, the first-generation iPad mini was the only iOS device without a Retina display that Apple was still selling. The iPad mini 2, released in 2013, doubled the first mini's pixels. Last year, Apple released the iPad mini 3 with some modest updates, namely the TouchID fingerprint sensor and a gold color option.
If don't want to charge your Apple Watch every night, a new company called Vector has a smartwatch that wants to liberate you from the charging cable. It isn't going to liberate you from checking your phone like the Apple Watch (theoretically) will, but it splits the difference between that and a traditional watch. Vector seems to be trying to win over the hearts of those who already wear traditional watches, rather than the tech-obsessed users of the Apple Watch and other Android Wear devices.
Windows 10 arrives this summer. A Mashable reviewer says after years of problems with Windows 8, Microsoft is finally getting its act together with its upcoming operating system. Windows 10 will be available as a free update for all users with official Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 licenses until July 29, 2016. Users who don't have a previous Windows license will have to pay for a fresh copy of Windows 10.
