Automated threat recognition software could speed airport security

Imagine moving through airport security without having to take off your shoes or belt or getting pulled aside while your flight boards—while keeping all the precautions that ensure the safety of passengers and flight crews.

This is the challenge tackled by a team including researchers from Sandia National Laboratories—a challenge that led to development of the Open Threat Assessment Platform, which allows the Transportation Security Administration to respond more quickly and easily to threats to air travel safety.

“When we wanted to change how we screen in response to new threats,” said Andrew Cox, a Sandia R&D systems analyst who leads the OTAP project. “The technology was too rigid. TSA compensated by adding procedures. There’s a shoe bomber and you have to take your shoes off; liquid explosives arrived, and TSA had to limit liquids and gels.”

Hyundai has kicked-off production on novel 4×4 vehicles with robotic legs

They may be the only cars to go more viral than Cybertruck.

Remember that Hyundai concept 4×4 with robotic legs?

The South Korean automotive giant actually means to make it a reality and it has announced a development and test facility in Montana for that very purpose.

Hyundai has a planned investment goal of $20 million over the next five years for its New Horizons Studio, which will employ 50 people.

It will be located in Montana State University’s Innovation Campus in Bozeman, Montana and it will be a unit focused on the development of Ultimate Mobility Vehicles\.
