World’s largest AI robot to reduce aircraft inspection costs
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: military, robotics/AI
Norse Atlantic Airways is teaming up with Avinxt to use their giant robot fueled by green tech and artificial intelligence to perform functions like de-icing, washing, and even giving the engines a good scrub.
The bonus? Regular exterior washing doesn’t just keep the planes looking sharp but cuts down on air resistance, saving up to two percent on fuel burn.
Avinxt will start building the robot in 2024, and will be able to handle big passenger planes, smaller private planes, and even military aircraft, announced Norse in a press release.

Scientists discover that your ears speak to your eyes and vice versa
Posted by Gemechu Taye in category: futurism
“You can actually estimate the movement of the eyes and the position of the target that the eyes are going to look at just from recordings made with a microphone in the ear canal.”
Duke University researchers have discovered that when the eyes move, the ears generate a tiny almost imperceptible murmur and the other way around. Now, they are close to uncovering what they say.
