Though fans may not always notice, professional athletes put thought into their outfits off and on the field. They'll choose custom sneakers on the court, fancy jackets at the press conference and color-coordinated headphones in the locker room. Professional video game players rarely do better than jeans and oversized hoodies. So at its first of several planned ventures to amp up e-sports, a Los Angeles start-up is hoping to give the growing industry a sophisticated look. Ultimate Media Ventures on Monday launched ULT Kills, a fashion line of T-shirts, hoodies, hats and eventually footwear that, in the words of co-founder Nate Eckman, isn't the usual "super-embarrassing … kitschy, nerdy gamer wear."

Japan's most famous novelist is set to return to his alma mater and teach -100 years after his death. Soseki Natsume is being recreated as an android by Nishogakusha University Graduate School, and will be programmed to read material out loud and give lectures. Created in a sitting posture, the robot will be 130 centimeters high and built using 3D scans of a death mask and vintage photos. Soseki Natsume is being recreated into an android by Nishogakusha University Graduate School, which will be programmed to read out material and give lectures. Students from Nishogakusha University Graduate School plan to explore Nastume's life and gather information regarding his physical appearance and size for a closely accurate robot, which they have been granted access to a large college of photos and works by the major newspaper Asahi Shumbun – a former employer of Nastume, reports RocketNews24.

In a lab in California, ten robots are gearing up for a project that might solve some of the biggest mysteries in our universe. Scientists in Berkeley plan to use 5,000 galaxy-seeking robots to create the most detailed 3D map of the universe yet. Now the scaled-down prototype system is about to be tested. DESI robots (right) will poke out from 10 wedge-shaped'petals' that will be fitted together in a Focal Plate Assembly. Over its lifetime, the ends of the fibre-optic cables will be turned almost 200,000 times.

After his comments, Kris is interviewed by MIT Technology Review's Nanette Byrnes. Kris Hammond is Narrative Science's chief scientist and a professor of computer science and journalism at Northwestern University. Before joining the faculty at Northwestern, Kris founded the University of Chicago's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. His research has been primarily focused on artificial intelligence, machine-generated content, and context-driven information systems. Kris currently sits on a United Nations policy committee run by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR).

A robot which has the capacity to decide it will inflict pain on humans has been invented - breaking one of the standard rules for artificial intelligence. From Will Smith movie I, Robot, one of the laws of robotics is commonly considered to be that it cannot injure humans. But scientists and artist Alexander Reben has invented "The First Law", a robot named for the very rule it breaks. The basic robot is programmed to be capable of pricking a human's finger. However, as Mr Reben is intending to provoke discussion on AI, The First Law will not'decide' to inflict pain every time.

Back in December, when Slack integrations launched, I wrote Clippy's Revenge about the potential of "smart messaging" to become a new platform. Since then, big players have done much to nurture that possibility -- as if on some secret, jointly agreed-upon master schedule. This looks like the battleground of the next tech war, and all eyes are on Apple this week. But how much of the bot craze is hype, and what's worth paying attention to? The frenetic energy around this emerging ecosystem is well-placed, but often confusing. After meeting with more than 50 founders in this space, I'd like to offer a structured explanation of the emerging conversational economy and to propose some opportunities (for both big companies and startups).

This includes the future of messaging, photos, maps, and more. SAN FRANCISCO – Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference took place in San Francisco Monday morning, where the company introduced significant upgrades to iOS and its other operating systems, including redesigns to Apple Music and Messages. Apple also opened three key features – Siri, Maps and Messages – to third party developers and created the Home app to make for easier control of HomeKit using an iPhone, iPad or Watch. Details of the new features, plus reactions from our staff and other attendees, can be found in the live blog of the conference below. Thanks the audience and Apple community and ends WWDC.

Kate Stanners, Worldwide Creative Director, Saatchi & Saatchi, said, "How to build on 25 years of the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase and an archive of incredible directing talent, whilst producing a screening at the Palais des Festival in Cannes which lives up to our reputation as an agency on the frontier of technological and creative innovation? That's the challenge that we faced this year, and we are rising to it by working with Team One in Los Angeles to explore how Artificial Intelligence and machines can be used to enhance human creativity, a subject that is on the creative radar right now."

In fact, unit shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) systems used in infotainment and ADAS systems are expected to rise from just 7 million in 2015 to 122 million by 2025, according to IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight. The attach rate of AI-based systems in new vehicles was 8 percent in 2015, and the vast majority were focused on speech recognition. However, that number is forecast to rise to 109 percent in 2025, as there will be multiple AI systems of various types installed in many cars.

After a whirlwind two days of game and hardware reveals, Nintendo is slowing things down on the final day of E3 2016. Prior to the press conference, Nintendo made it clear that "The Legend of Zelda" will be the only title it brings to E3. Nintendo has changed its tune slightly, but "Zelda" will remain in the spotlight. To find out if there will be any surprises, the Nintendo E3 2016 live stream begins at 9 a.m. With Microsoft revealing the Xbox One S and Project Scorpio during its press conference Monday and Sony confirming its PS4 upgrade last week, there has been a lot of hardware at E3 2016. Unfortunately for fans, Nintendo will not unveil is new console during its press conference.
