A Robot That Finds Your Lost Stuff and More AI-Enabled Gadgets to Come

#artificialintelligence

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a prototype toilet that uses an artificial intelligence-trained camera to track the form of feces and monitor the color and flow of urine. A "lab-on-a-chip" device built into the toilet will analyze micro stool samples to detect viruses like Covid-19 and blood, says Seung-min Park, the lead researcher on the project. This digital diary could yield valuable health insights and facilitate early, noninvasive diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome or colorectal cancer, Dr. Park says. A look at how innovation and technology are transforming the way we live, work and play. An app would allow users to track health parameters.
