Siemens has been researching neural networks for about 30 years and has made significant progress in applying this technology to artificial intelligence. For example, the company's Software Environment for Neural Networks (SENN) is being continuously refined and adapted to new and evolving applications, including the optimization of gas turbines and wind turbines. "We hold something like 50 patents for learning processes," notes Sterzing. Siemens Power Generation Services and CT have developed a system that continuously optimizes the operation and control of combustion in gas turbines. Based on AI from CT, the system, which is known as a Gas Turbine Autonomous Control Optimizer (GT-ACO), is currently being installed at a top customer in Asia.

A model of EHang 184 and the next generation of Dubai Drone Taxi is seen during the second day of the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Monday, Feb. 13, 2017. When the ruling family decrees that a quarter of all journeys in a city state will be autonomous by 2030, someone somewhere is obliged to make that start happening as soon as possible. In Dubai, that person is Mattar Al Tayer, chairman of the city's Road and Transport Authority. He said Monday that he hopes Dubai will have autonomous taxi drones zipping around its skyline this summer. Actual drones that people can sit inside without fearing for their lives.

Flying, driverless cars are expected to become a reality in Dubai by the summer after an initial test run of an autonomous aerial vehicle was launched Monday by the Roads and Transport Authority and Chinese firm Ehang. The vehicle – called Ehang 184 – should be able to transport people automatically and is scheduled to start services in the near future. "The autonomous aerial vehicle exhibited at the [World Government Summit] is not just a model; it is a real version that we have already experimented the vehicle in a flight in Dubai sky. The RTA is making every effort to start the operation of the AAV in July 2017," Al Tayer, the chairman and director general of the Roads and Transport Authority, said. The car will be able to hold someone up to 220 pounds along with a small carry-on and will have a battery allowing a half-hour flight time for a distance of around 31 miles.

Samurai don't tend to be something you be, but something you see. And that's best done from afar, given the amount of blood and guts that they have spilled in popular culture. But with the release of Nioh, the new but long-awaited action game for PlayStation 4, that's about to change. The game puts you right in the middle of the life of a samurai – with all the mystery, training and beautiful violence that you'd expect. That's done largely through the main character, based on William Adams, an Englishman who was one of the first ever from his country to reach Japan and the first known western Samurai.

A team of researchers has devised a way of accurately tracking web users across multiple browsers. The breakthrough could prove particularly useful to advertisers, enabling them to continue serving targeted ads to internet users, even if they tried to avoid them by switching from Chrome to Firefox or Windows Edge. The research can be found in a paper penned by Lehigh University's Yinzhi Cao and Song Li, and Washington University in St. Louis' Erik Wijmans, titled (Cross-)Browser Fingerprinting via OS and Hardware Level Features. The technique reliably identifies the'digital fingerprint' of users' browsers, based on information such as extensions, plugins, time zone and whether or not an adblocker is installed.

The robots are gradually taking over the world. According to IDC, robotics is considered to be one of the six innovation accelerators that propel digital transformation, opening new revenue streams and change the way work is accomplished. It believes that robotics will change the model of business operations in several industries, drive innovation and have a profound impact on the IT functions of enterprises. The increasing presence of robots and intelligent operating systems in our workplaces will lead to the creation of a Chief Robotics Officer role. According to the IDC survey, 30 percent of the top organizations will either have a chief robotics officer role or have a robotic specific task within their business.

Mini drones sporting horsehair coated in a sticky gel could one day take the pressure off beleaguered bee populations by transporting pollen from plant to plant, researchers said. Roughly three-quarters of the world's flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world's food crops depend on animals to pollinate them, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Some of nature's most prolific pollinators are bees, but bee populations are declining around the world, and last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed a native species as endangered for the first time. Now, researchers from Japan said they've taken the first steps toward creating robots that could help pick up the slack from insect pollinators. The scientists created a sticky gel that lets a $100 matchbox-size drone pick up pollen from one flower and deposit it onto another to help the plants reproduce.

A Dutch vehicle manufacturer has made flying cars commercially available for the first time ever. PAL-V has created the Liberty Sport and Liberty Pioneer, a pair of two-person three-wheelers capable of flying at speeds of up to 112mph. The Sport is the cheaper of the two, with the base model starting at $400,000. The Pioneer, meanwhile, comes in at $600,000.

The phone, originally released in 2000 and in many ways beginning the modern age of mobiles, will be sold as a way of getting lots of battery life in a nearly indestructible body. The new incarnation of the old 3310 will be sold for just €59, and so likely be pitched as a reliable second phone to people who fondly remember it the first time around. It will be revealed at Mobile World Congress later this month, according to leaker Evan Blass who first revealed the details.
