Though the sky has always been the limit regarding the innovation and advancement of 3D printing, a group of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab may have pushed that ceiling a little higher. According to a recently published paper, the team says it's developed a novel method for 3D printing fully operational robots in just a single print. Furthermore, these same robots only require a simple battery and motor installed before they can literally walk right off the printing table. By creating a new printing process which utilizes what MIT has dubbed "printable hydraulics," the team hopes to facilitate a breakthrough in rapidly fabricating operational machines. Concerning the process itself, the researchers used an Inkjet 3D printer capable of dispersing bits of material that measure roughly half that of a human hair. While printing structures, the printer places photopolymer material on surfaces of the print and hardens them with a UV light, leaving liquid portions of the project untouched.

Take a three year-old to the zoo, and she intuitively knows that the long-necked creature nibbling leaves is the same thing as the giraffe in her picture book. That superficially easy feat is in reality quite sophisticated. The cartoon drawing is a frozen silhouette of simple lines, while the living animal is awash in color, texture, movement and light. It can contort into different shapes and looks different from every angle. Humans excel at this kind of task.

Ask any dog owner and they'll tell you – when it comes to playtime, certain phrases are guaranteed to get a reaction. Researchers from Barnard College combed through almost 200 videos of dog-human play sessions to find out more about this unique type of interaction. The team was able to determine the 35 words that people use most frequently when playing with their dogs, and also discovered that women were more likely than men to play hands-on. Ask any dog owner and they'll tell you – when it comes to playtime, certain phrases are guaranteed to get a reaction. This resulted in more than 30 common play routines, including tug, fetch, roughhousing, and even teasing.

Shares of graphics chip maker Nvidia (NVDA) are down 6 cents at 35.69, following yesterday's annual meeting with analysts. A webcast replay of presentations CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and other executives, and the Q&A, can be viewed from the company's investor relations page. Huang made the pitch that with new frontiers of machine learning and artificial intelligence, Nvidia "are no longer a co-processor," meaning a handmaid to the PC microprocessor. "There is no workload we run," said Huang, such as a video game. Instead, he said, with the company's programming technology, "CUDA," "we run an application that a developer writes on top of it."

We've covered robot writers before, but to date it has never been much of a concern for actual writers. Robots just aren't that good at doing what we do; although Microsoft's'Tay' did prove to be pretty great at going from zero to off-the-rails after dealing with some nasty Twitter comments -- something any writer can relate to. Until now, "robot writers" -- artificial intelligence programs taught to write -- were mainly only good at penning quick stories based on data-heavy reports. Box scores, stock reports, and the like were basically all the programs were capable of doing well. This year's edition of TNW Conference in Amsterdam includes some of the biggest names in tech.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Channel Mark Ventures announced today that it will be launching Inteladesk through their technology development and sales company CenturySoft Ltd. This next generation customer helpdesk management solution is powered by a revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) platform. "Inteladesk's AI-based engagement solution is the ideal complement to our insight-driven approach of sales acceleration for our clients at their specific domain level," said Dan O'Shea, CEO at Channel Mark Ventures. In discussing their Inteladesk product O'Shea explained that "Inteladesk essentially drives a personalized sales experience. Inteladesk helps companies perfect their knowledge base by explaining misstep queries or missed opportunities to improve FAQs. Combined with the technology, Inteladesk users will have the ability to reduce incoming customer service emails and calls. With Inteladesk at work, new processes will emerge as the technology helps companies introduce new service enriching CRM processes not previously possible or financially feasible. In turn, employees can take on higher-level roles to formulate new ways to enrich customer service. We are beyond thrilled at the prospects here. There is nothing like it available on the market today. The Live Agent learns as it works and provides high-quality responses consistently, every day of the year, in every language your customers speak. Cognitive Code's technology is truly game-changing."

Since the rise of modern medicine, the pharmaceuticals industry has relied on the brainpower of chemists and biologists to discover and develop new drugs. Their painstaking work has brought about dramatic advances in human health yet the slow pace of progress has prompted a search for new approaches. As in so many areas, some of the most promising ideas are coming from Silicon Valley. In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, could computer algorithms provide a short-cut to the next generation of medical breakthroughs? Among the pioneers of computer-based drug discovery is a Californian company called Verseon.

Isabel Dedring, Deputy Mayor, Transport at Greater London Authority will be a keynote speaker at the event of 28th June, hosted at The House of Lords. Dedring will explore how policies have to change in order for cities to be able to adapt to these changes in an ideal way. To download the brochure and to attend the Intelligent Mobility event, please visit http://frost.ly/78. The two major concerns connected to cars are accidents and pollution – which will be significantly reduced or even eliminated, once electric vehicles and autonomous driving work together. AI enabled automated driving also has the potential to eliminate traffic jams, as Frost & Sullivan Senior Partner Sarwant Singh explains: "Today, when you are caught in a traffic jam, it is already too late. In future, AI combined with data analytics could predict a traffic jam, avoiding not only you getting into the traffic jam but preventing congestion in the first place."
