This year's E3 may be over, but we'll feel the ripples for months. Here's a rundown of some of the heavily scrutinized industry trade show's biggest events and takeaways. It'll need more in the years to come, but for E3 2016 at least, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild seems like the knockout punch so many have been hoping for. The action-adventure game, which stars longtime series hero Link, transpires for the first time in an open world festooned with objectives, unique biomes and completely new-to-the-series activities. You can cook, (manually) jump, climb nearly anything and go anywhere you like in a painterly multifaceted playground as vast as any yet seen. It's a full rethink of the Zelda formula, reformulated from the footings up, and crafted so that players of the Wii U version won't feel left behind by the "NX" version when the game ships for both Wii U and Nintendo's forthcoming platform reboot next March.

Even the smartest of intruders would struggle to slip past this security guard. Armed with lasers and infrared cameras, a new security robot is promising to take over the tedious task of patrolling buildings. RAMSEE can provide round-the-clock monitoring of an area by scanning its environment as it trundles through rooms, looking for motion, along with signs of fire, smoke and gas leaks. Lidar is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by shooting a laser at a target and analysing the light that is reflected back. The technology was developed in the early 1960s and uses laser imaging with radar technology that can calculate distances. It was first used in meteorology to measure clouds by the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

AI is everywhere, from movies and media coverage through to fashion statements at awards ceremonies (cue Zayn Malik's robot arms). We're being told AI presents a scary future where robots and machines take over the world - if you haven't already then watch Ex Machina and you'll get the picture - that we're entering a future where machines are much cleverer than us, take all our jobs and basically make us humans completely redundant. But does the advent of AI really spell the end of humanity? It's much less about the death of humanity and more about making humans better than we could ever be without technology. I was lucky enough to attend the inaugural'AI Summit, London' to learn all about how AI is affecting business and how to transform what we do in order to intelligently use machines' super-powers.

Navid Khonsari wants to make honest video games. Not just games that say something about the world, but games that draw on real events and bring a documentary approach to an interactive experience. "The 1979 Iranian Revolution is a defining moment in the twentieth century," he says. "The rifts it started define what the Middle East is now and what the West is. The moral decisions: who do you protect, who don't you protect?"

Whether you're reading this article on a smartphone, tablet or laptop, chances are the device in front of you contains components from at least six countries spanning three or more continents. Its sleek exterior belies the complicated and intricate set of internal parts that only a global supply chain can provide. Over the past century, finished products made in a single country have become increasingly hard to find as globalization -- weighted a term as it is -- has stretched supply chains to the ends of the Earth. Now, anything from planes, trains and automobiles to computers, cellphones and appliances can trace its hundreds of pieces to nearly as many companies around the world. And its assembly might take place in a different country still.

At a theoretical level, the concept of artificial intelligence has fueled and sharpened the philosophical debates on the nature of the mind, intelligence, and the uniqueness of human beings. Insights from the field have proved invaluable to biologists, psychologists, and linguists in helping to understand the processes of memory, learning, and language. Today, we're continuing our Q&A with Maggie Boden, Research Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Sussex, and one of the best known figures in the field of Artificial Intelligence, answers four more questions about this developing area. ANNs are computer systems made of large number of interconnected units, each of which can compute only one (very simple) thing. They are (very broadly) inspired by the structure of brains.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is here. If you are reading this post, some kind of AI has decided it's worth your while. On social media, algorithms learn to know you intimately. They study what you like and compare your interests to a huge pool of users. And almost magically, platforms like Instagram then shows you a selection of photographs you find surprisingly pretty.

Even in the highly technical world of brain surgery, the success of an operation still depends largely on the experience and ability of surgeons. But this may change dramatically with the introduction of "smart" surgical care units, in which everything from computer monitors, robotic arms, microscopes and sensors are connected via the internet to help doctors follow the right course of action. A prototype of an advanced version of such units, the Smart Cyber Operating Theater (SCOT), was showcased Thursday at Tokyo Woman's Medical University in Shinjuku Ward. The project was funded by the state-backed Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED). Development of such units is expected to push forward the advent of so-called Medicine 4.0, a paradigm shift in the medical industry built on advanced information communications technology, said Yoshihiro Muragaki, a brain surgeon and professor at the university who is leading the project.

With everyone from Google to Elon Musk warning about artificial intelligence or AI, this story is especially timely. A Russian robot learning to promote a company's products and'automatic movement profiles' escaped from its testing grounds in Perm, Russia, near the Ural mountains. The machine made it to a busy intersection, snarled traffic, and the police were called. "The robot was learning automatic movement algorithms on the testing ground, these functions will feature in the latest version of the Promobot." The co-founder of the robot's maker, Oleg Kivokurtsev, told ura.ru news agency.

In 2012 they went bankrupt. And according to a recent post by Dr Robert Goldman when technological singularity really kicks in, the same fate awaits many industries over the next decade. Self-proclaimed "Antiaging & Sports Medicine Pioneer" Dr Bob is a rather exuberant character and seemingly a big friend of the stars (he is pictured on the home page of his website with the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Yet I'm far more interested in his recent Facebook / LinkedIn post entitled'Future Predictions' which has gone viral and already been shared well over 100,000 times. Dr Goldman initially asks us to go way back to 1998 (where is the Doc's DeLorean when you need it?) It's interesting given that digital cameras had actually been invented over 20 years earlier.
