Need a teacher, airport guide, care taker, and customs control officer all in one? Standing at just under 3 feet tall with big cartoon eyes and flipper arms, Sanbot looks more helpless than helpful, but don't let that cute appearance fool you. Sanbot is packed with features to help "her" get the job done. Sanbot has 14 of them scattered throughout its three foot frame. Many of these are touch sensitive, allowing the robotic lady to respond with human-like emotion to a particular tap.

NEW YORK – Samsung on Wednesday unveiled its new Galaxy S8 smartphones, incorporating the virtual assistant Bixby, as the market leader seeks to rebound from a chaotic handset recall and a corruption scandal. The South Korean giant's mobile chief, DJ Koh, told a New York event the Galaxy S8 and S8 handsets marked "a new era of smartphone design." Fitted with screens of 5.8 and 6.2 inches, the two handsets include Samsung's upgraded digital assistant Bixby, competing in a crowded field that includes Apple's Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. The most striking feature of the new phones is what Samsung dubs an "infinity display" -- an expanded glass screen that covers the entire front of the device and appears to curve seamlessly around its edges. The home button has been replaced with a pressure-sensitive section embedded under the screen.

Samsung's latest flagship phones have ditched the physical home button found in their predecessors and introduced a new virtual assistant. The screens of the Galaxy S8 and bigger S8 are also larger despite the devices being smaller than last year's S7 and S7 Edge. This time, both models feature displays that curve round the phones' sides. The launch follows Samsung's botched release of the Note 7, which was recalled twice after fires. The South Korean firm blamed the problem on battery faults and said it had since put in additional safety measures, including X-ray scans of batteries.

Samsung has launched the highly anticipated Galaxy S8, the latest - and quite possibly the greatest - flagship mobile on the market. For many consumers, the battle for smartphone supremacy has long been a war between Apple and Samsung. However, early impressions suggest the South Korean firm has blown all of its rivals away with its latest device. If you're looking to purchase a new high-end handset, here's why you should choose the Samsung Galaxy S8 over the iPhone 7. Apple's biggest advantage over all of its competitors has traditionally been design, but that's no longer the case. The iPhone 4, launched way back in 2010, is to date the best-looking version of the iPhone.

With over 1 million customers, $109 million in new financing and a new product set for release in April, the Ring isn't just a doorbell anymore. The video doorbell, out since 2013, has expanded into a suite of products that also include new motion detection lights with companion camera (new), a standalone security camera and chimes to bring traditional audio to the doorbell. The added inventory helped push the company to sales that more than doubled in 2016. Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff has positioned the company as a tech Batman, a product that can help keep the burglars away. The Ring doorbell connects to Wi-fi, and when it's rung, you get a notification on your phone that allows you to see who's out there, and say "Who's at the door?" from inside the house, at work, or even on vacation.

Samsung officially revealed the new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus here in New York, and it seems safe to say that we got what we expected. The lack of a home button; the new AI assistant; the near bezel-less, curved screens; the rear-mounted fingerprint sensors -- all the leaks were true. What ultimately matters more than the lack of surprises are ambition and keen execution, and Samsung clearly embraced both when building the S8s. It's a good thing too: After the Galaxy Note 7's rise and fiery fall, Samsung needed to prove that it could craft some flawless smartphones. Well, I'm not sure about flawless, but the S8 and S8 Plus are both gorgeous and full-featured -- for now, the good certainly seems to outweigh the bad.

As our population ages, these caregiver robots will also be useful for the old as well as the young. This is not a rhetorical question. So-called robot nannies are already a hit in Japan and China, and are now beginning to appear stateside. The numbers show why this is an attractive proposition. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 4 million babies are born annually in the United States. What's more, 62% percent of women who gave birth within the last year work outside of the home, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

After months of leaks and countless rumours, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has been officially unveiled. The eagerly-awaited iPhone rival features a radical redesign to allow a massive 5.8-inch screen to be squeezed in to a device with a relatively small footprint. The device is one of two new phones with the S8 landing alongside the even larger 6.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S8 . Both feature facial recognition technology that allows users to unlock the phone with their face, and a Bixby'personal assistant' button. They are available for preorder on March 30th and will be shipping on April 21st.

This robot has eyes that appear to follow you around the room. Called Transgazer, the robot was designed by researchers at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation in Japan, who think that eye contact could be the key to improving human-robot interactions. The robot has a concave eye design that makes it appear to stare at you even if you are not standing directly in front of it. "We thought'why be restricted by human eyes?' Robot eyes could be very different," says Yuki Kinoshita, one of Transgazer's creators. Human eyes only give the impression of looking at someone when we actually are.
