Scientist dissects the reality TV star's new'Update' beverage which uses paraxanthine instead of caffeine From flattering shapewear to personalised emojis, Kim Kardashian already has a number of successful products under her belt. Now, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has turned her attention to energy drinks, with the launch of a new beverage called Update. Unlike popular brands like Red Bull or Monster, Update is caffeine-free, and instead uses a chemical called paraxanthine. So, what is in the drink, and is it safe?

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Humans have a long history with alcohol--we've been making and consuming it for over ten thousand years, about as long as we've had agriculture. That's a long time for people to come up with all kinds of ideas about the drug and how it works. So, not surprisingly, some of them are wrong. Here are a few common myths about alcohol, debunked by scientific research.

The emergence of large pre-trained models based on natural language has breathed new life into robotics development. Extensive research has integrated large models with robots, utilizing the powerful semantic understanding and generation capabilities of large models to facilitate robot control through natural language instructions gradually. However, we found that robots that strictly adhere to human instructions, especially those containing misleading information, may encounter errors during task execution, potentially leading to safety hazards. This resembles the concept of counterfactuals in natural language processing (NLP), which has not yet attracted much attention in robotic research. In an effort to highlight this issue for future studies, this paper introduced directive counterfactuals (DCFs) arising from misleading human directives. We present DynaMIC, a framework for generating robot task flows to identify DCFs and relay feedback to humans proactively. This capability can help robots be sensitive to potential DCFs within a task, thus enhancing the reliability of the execution process. We conducted semantic-level experiments and ablation studies, showcasing the effectiveness of this framework.

The growing demand for innovative research in the food industry is driving the adoption of robots in large-scale experimentation, as it offers increased precision, replicability, and efficiency in product manufacturing and evaluation. To this end, we introduce a robotic system designed to optimize food product quality, focusing on powdered cappuccino preparation as a case study. By leveraging optimization algorithms and computer vision, the robot explores the parameter space to identify the ideal conditions for producing a cappuccino with the best foam quality. The system also incorporates computer vision-driven feedback in a closed-loop control to further improve the beverage. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of robotic automation in achieving high repeatability and extensive parameter exploration, paving the way for more advanced and reliable food product development.

CES attendees in the mood for a drink were served by a robot, which tailored beverages based on the patron's emotions. Doosan Robotics introduced its Mixmaster Moodie, which uses rubber artificial muscles to serve patrons a cocktail based on visual and audio cues. Those attending CES were invited to visit Moodie's booth, where they stood in front of an AI-powered screen that read their facial expression to create a drink based on their mood. Doosan booth visitors were told if they were one of seven emotions, including happy, sad, angry, annoyed, afraid, surprised, and neutral. Moodie diagnoses a person's mood using a Logitech webcam to identify their feelings based on their photo.

The sounds came out of my mouth with an unexpected urgency. The cadence was deliberate--more befitting of an incantation than an order: one large strawberry-lemon-mint Charged Lemonade. The words hung in the air for a moment, giving way to a stillness punctuated only by the soft whir of distant fluorescent lights and the gentle hum of a Muzak cover of Bruce Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain." The time was 9:03 a.m.; the sun had been up for only one hour. I watched the kind woman behind the counter stifle an eye roll, a small mercy for which I will be eternally grateful.

With the growing emphasis on the development and integration of service robots within household environments, we will need to endow robots with the ability to reliably pour a variety of liquids. However, liquid handling and pouring is a challenging task due to the complex dynamics and varying properties of different liquids, the exacting precision required to prevent spills and ensure accurate pouring, and the necessity for robots to adapt seamlessly to a multitude of containers in real-world scenarios. In response to these challenges, we propose a novel autonomous robotics pipeline that empowers robots to execute precision pouring tasks, encompassing both carbonated and non-carbonated liquids, as well as opaque and transparent liquids, into a variety of transparent containers. Our proposed approach maximizes the potential of RGB input alone, achieving zero-shot capability by harnessing existing pre-trained vision segmentation models. This eliminates the need for additional data collection, manual image annotations, or extensive training. Furthermore, our work integrates ChatGPT, facilitating seamless interaction between individuals without prior expertise in robotics and our pouring pipeline, this integration enables users to effortlessly request and execute pouring actions. Our experiments demonstrate the pipeline's capability to successfully pour a diverse range of carbonated and non-carbonated beverages into containers of varying sizes, relying solely on visual input.

Artificial intelligence has created an alcoholic beverage that tastes like the melted candy found at the bottom of your grandma's handbag - and it got a three out of 10 in taste. This drink, called Grandma's Revenge, is just one recipe generated by the technology, which was asked to make cocktails based on names given by TikTok users. Grandma's Revenge features brandy, sherry and port, while another called Burning Inferno is made with vodka and Tabasco sauce. TikTok account Mob recently shared videos showing him following the instructions to make each drink based on what the AI churned out. TikTok account Mob shared two videos showing cocktails generated by AI.

However, because food inflation was both sharp and sustained, these businesses found their customers willing to accept price increases–and, because inflation was widespread across the industry, those who acted swiftly experienced better performance. In fact, businesses that raised prices sooner rather than later found themselves in a more advantageous position than those who held back. Now that commodity prices have fallen and runaway inflation has started to subside, food, beverage, and agribusiness companies–even those that didn't raise prices–may have some breathing room on the horizon. The food industry is starting to see light at the end of the tunnel despite continued high labor costs and lingering pandemic-related operational disruptions. Food industry margins have been reinforced by a number of post-pandemic shifts that are adding flexibility to the value chain.
