The popular show'Black Mirror' may be on hold due to the pandemic spreading across the globe, but fans of the dystopian world can create a part of the sci-fi series on their own. A Stanford student built a robot dog similar to that used in the episode titled'Metalhead' that hunts and kills humans in an apocalyptic setting. The miniature version, called the Stanford Pupper, was developed using a 3D printer, a PlayStation controller and other common pieces - and the team has shared all the details for the public to use. It has 12 degrees of freedom, meaning it can goes backwards, forwards, side-to-side and also features a'sneaky mode' that mimics the movement of a real canine creeping on the floor.

The AI industry has been growing rapidly over the past few years, to such an extent that some now class it as an industry which has gone from "emerging" to one that has fully "emerged." As we enter 2020, it seems like the perfect opportunity to assess the industry as a whole. It is easy to forget just how quickly technology has advanced over the last 10 years. For instance, we take fingerprint and facial recognition for granted now as we do with so many other features when using our devices every day. However, at the turn of the last decade, social media was still in its infancy and many products, such as Amazon's Alexa, were still years away from being released.
