Japanese manufacturing giant Panasonic unveiled Cocotto, the rolling, smiling robot who wants to help you raise your kids, at CEATEC, or the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, in Chiba, Japan on Tuesday. The spherical robot is designed as an "educational companion" for children and is programmed to entertain kids but also to help them form good habits, like brushing teeth, eating, and going to the bathroom.
A new technology developed by Japanese tech company OMRON may have a solution to help prevent crashes caused by driver fatigue. OMRON's Onboard Driving Monitoring Sensor uses facial recognition and artificial intelligence to tell if a driver is falling asleep or texting while driving, and prompting them to pay attention and drive safely.
One research group in the Czech Republic claim to have built the most powerful laser in the world. Lasers are becoming more and more important for the advancement of industry and laser technology has been developing at a rapid pace. British, Czech and other scientists from all over the world tested a super laser they claim to be ten times stronger than any other in existence in Dolni Brezany near Prague on Thursday. The device, called Bivoj, which is named after a mythical Czech strongman, was developed by a team of 280 scientists and technicians as a joint project by Britain's Central Laser Facility and High Average Power Pulsed Laser, or HiLASE, a Czech state research and development project. Bivoj weighs around 44,000 pounds, puts out over 1000 watts of energy, and costs about $50 million. The researchers expect that the machine will make waves in industries such as semiconductors and metals processing. Of course, Bivoj may have some military uses as well.
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.
KFC China has started using a new kind of technology to deliver a new type of experience for its customers. Believe it or not, if you stop in to order chicken at the KFC in Beijing’s Fuxingmen district, you will have your face scanned and the KFC computer will recommend a meal for you based on your appearance. The facial recognition technology is designed to remember customer's faces as well as their orders and to make suggestions based on customer data gathered over time. The Kentucky Fried Chicken Chinese branch has partnered with the country’s search giant Baidu to build a new location for its artificial intelligence and augmented reality technology. The new device is capable of analysing a customers’s facial features, and makes use of traits such as age, gender and facial expression to determine what each person should be eating at any given time. Even though the ability of artificial intelligence to detect behavioural traits using physical variables, called physiognomy, has not yet been developed to be completely effective, KFC China's pioneering use of facial recognition technology is certainly going to change customer experience and may even change how we think about fast food in general.
Silk produced by wriggling silkworms genetically crossed with creepy crawly spiders has caught the eye of an unusual fashion designer - the US Army. Kraig Biocraft Labs is creating hyper strong, elastic silk with genetically altered silk worms in their Indiana lab. It's so strong that they've called it Dragon Silk and it may just become the new standard for bulletproof vests.
