Harvard reveals incredible shape changing building blocks

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Researchers have developed a simple way to make intricate shape-shifting building blocks. The team used a computer to model nearly a million designs to find the perfect blueprint that could make structures on a large scale. They say the'toolkit' could let engineers, architects and others create radical shape changing structures far more easily. Researchers have unveiled a toolkit for designing intricate shape-shifting blocks on a larger scale. Harvard researchers developed a framework for designing reconfigurable metamaterials.


Samsung Android 7.0 Nougat update: How to download the new software

The Independent - Tech

Samsung has started rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat to its devices, with its flagship smartphones first in line for the software upgrade. Owners of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge can update to Nougat from today, by navigating to About Phone and System Updates in the Settings menu. Android 7.0 Nougat isn't quite the latest version of Android – Google's own Pixel handsets run version 7.1.1 The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Robot delivery bots hit the streets in California and DC

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Take-out customers in the US can now get food delivered right to their doorstep by a robot. Starship Technologies has announced that DoorDash and Postmates are beginning pilot tests with the robots in Redwood City, California and Washington, DC. The service won't cost you any extra, and each robot is expected to make about 10 deliveries each day. Take-out customers in the US can now get food delivered right to their doorstep by a robot. Unlike robots designed to resemble humans, the Starship's bot is purely functional with a large compartment to hold deliveries, the equivalent size of two grocery bags.


Computer can tell doctors when your heart will fail

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence software that can predict when a heart is going to fail by analysing scans of it beating has been developed by British scientists. The technology could help doctors to identify patients at greater risk of death sooner and provide more intensive treatment straight away. The machine-learning software, developed by researchers at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London, analyses moving images of a patient's heart captured during an MRI scan. It uses advanced image processing to build a digital model which replicates the way more than 30,000 points in the heart contract during each beat. The team fed the system historic data from hundreds of patients.


Julian Assange will stand by offer to go the US after Barack Obama releases Chelsea Manning

The Independent - Tech

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange stands by his offer to go to the USA now that Chelsea Manning is being released, he told a press conference. Mr Assange had previously committed to hand himself in and face any possible extradition to the US, should Barack Obama offer clemency to Ms Manning. But when that happened, his lawyers suggested that he wouldn't actually fulfil that commitment – arguing that Ms Manning wasn't being released quickly enough. Now Mr Assange has said that he will stand by the offer. He said that there will be "many discussions" on his future before Ms Manning leaves prison in May.


Tesla won't have to recall its cars after one drove into a truck and killed its driver, report finds

The Independent - Tech

Tesla won't have to recall any vehicles despite a crash that left a man dead when his car hit a truck. Officials have finally brought a close to a six-month-old investigation that followed the high-profile crash, exonerating Tesla. The controversy and worry emerged after a man's vehicle ran into a truck while using Tesla's "Autopilot" software, which allows to car to operate semi-autonomously. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that it hadn't found evidence of a defect that would require it to ask for a recall of the cars.

Iris Automation raises $1.5 million to help drones sense and avoid obstacles

#artificialintelligence

Iris Automation Inc. has raised $1.5 million to bring "sense and avoid" technology, and truly self-flying capabilities, to drones used for industrial tasks. Even for human pilots, identifying obstacles and deciding precisely how to maneuver a fast-flying aircraft around them poses a serious challenge. Iris' technology analyzes and draws insights from videos captured by cameras onboard a drone in real time. "We're designing this to work like a human pilot's vision and decision-making process," says Iris Automation CEO and co-founder Alexander Harmsen. Iris Automation, a Y Combinator company, is not alone in the quest to develop computer vision systems that can make unmanned aerial vehicles, and eventually other robotics and vehicles, truly autonomous.

iPhone 8 will have facial recognition and other features that mean it sells more than any phone before it, analyst claims

The Independent - Tech

That will be just the headline feature of a phone expected to pack in so many new features that it could even go by another name. The next iPhone could have so many features and changes that it is being referred to by some as the "iPhone 10", or "iPhone X" – it is also the 10th anniversary model – and analysts have suggested that it could sell far more than even the most popular iPhone. In fact, the iPhone 8 might not even be one phone at all – but rather three. The company cold launch an extra, bigger, model alongside updated versions at the current 4.7- and 5.5-inch phones.
