AI Can Now Manipulate Peopleâs Movements In Fake Videos
A new AI algorithm can create the most advanced deepfakes yet, complete with emotions and gestures, after just a few minutes of training.
Robot chefs are popping up in restaurants around the world
âDoughbotsâ in California speed up stretching pizza dough from 45 seconds to just nine.
CREATOR, a new hamburger joint in San Francisco, claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6âin other words, to provide the quality associated with posh restaurants at a fast-food price. The substance behind this claim is that its chef-de-cuisine is a robot.
Until recently, catering robots have been gimmicks. âFlippyâ, a robotic arm that flipped burgers for the entertainment of customers at CaliBurger in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, earlier this year is a prime example. But Flippy could perform only one task. Creatorâs bot automates the whole process of preparing a burger. And it is not alone. Other robot chefs that can prepare entire meals are working, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of America, and in China and Britain.

Artificial Intelligence And Prosthetics Join Forces To Create New Generation Bionic Hand
âOur main goal is to let patients control them as naturally as though they were their biological limbs,â says Professor Dario Farina from Imperial College.
A team of scientists from Imperial College London and the University of Göttingen have teamed up to create a ânext generationâ bionic hand. This bionic hand is special because it uses artificial intelligence to improve its functionality.
All Ears: Always-On Listening Devices Could Soon Be Everywhere
Kind of think it would be a dumb idea to try and make every separate device smart. Focus on an AI assistant for the house that can manage all of the devices.
Tiny microphones are moving us toward a world in which all gadgets can respond to a voice command. For those worried about privacy: meet a $200 trash can.
How Nantes teamâs 3D printing may alter shape of homes to come
For some months now, a 3D printed house in Nantes has drawn lots of attention, not just because a printer was involved but also because it went up from start to finish so quickly (54 hours to print, then add some more time for the windows and roof). Interesting Engineering said it took some more time to add the roof, windows and doors.
A robot printer was used to print layers from the floor upwards to form the walls, and videos show a beautiful result of five rooms with rounded walls.
Now comes the latest news of the worldâs first family to move into a 3D-printed homeâthat is now home for the Ramdani family, consisting of the two parents and their 3 children, to enjoy life in the 4-bedroom house in Nantes, France.
New Quantum Computer Milestone Would Make Richard Feynman Very Happy
A commercially available âquantum computerâ has been on the market since 2011, but itâs controversial. The D-Wave machine is nothing like other quantum computers, and until recently, scientists have doubted that it was even truly quantum at all. But the company has released an important new result, one that in part realizes Richard Feynmanâs initial dreams for a quantum computer.
Scientists from D-Wave announced they have simulated a large quantum mechanical system with their 2000Q machineâessentially a cube of connected bar magnets. The D-Wave canât take on the futuristic, mostly non-physics-related goals that many people have for quantum computers, such as finding solutions in medicine, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Nor does it work the same way as the rest of the competition. But itâs now delivering real physics results. Itâs simulating a quantum system.
