New batteries for electric cars and wearables, backed by multi-million US$ funding, are both fire resistant and flexible

Posted by in categories: climatology, computing, sustainability, wearables

Batteries are regarded as crucial technologies in the battle against climate change, particularly for electric vehicles and storing energy from renewable sources. Anthro Energy’s novel flexible batteries are presently available to wearable manufacturers and could be employed in a variety of areas, including electric cars and laptops.

The innovative batteries score well in fire safety, thanks to new materials and design features that eliminate internal and external mechanical safety risks like explosions. Many of today’s batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, contain a flammable liquid as an electrolyte.

Anthro Energy’s David Mackaniac and his team have created a flexible polymer electrolyte that is malleable like rubber. The new technology provides increased design flexibility for use across a range of devices, with adaptable shapes and sizes to suit specific applications.

Elon Musk unveils X chatbot “Grok,” which answers “spicy” questions others won’t

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, internet, robotics/AI

With “Grok”, Elon Musk introduces a chatbot built with “X” data for “X” premium users. In contrast to OpenAI with ChatGPT, Musk gives the chatbot more creative leeway in its responses.

Musk and his company describe Grok as a humorous, witty, and rebellious chatbot that can answer almost any question. Grok uses its model knowledge based on Internet and X data, as well as real-time information from X, to provide answers. According to xAI, the chatbot also answers “spicy questions” that would be rejected by most other AI systems.

Researchers use generative simulation to unlock infinite training data for robots

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Researchers present RoboGen, a generative robotic agent that automatically learns new skills in a generative simulation.

The work by researchers from CMU, Tsinghua IIIS, MIT CSAIL, UMass Amherst, and the MIT-IBM AI Lab aims to leverage recent advances in generative AI to generate infinite training data for automated robot learning.

According to the team, RoboGen is a generative robotic agent that learns various robotic tasks automatically and en masse through generative simulation. The team is using existing foundation models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, to “automatically generate diversified tasks, scenes, and training supervisions, thereby scaling up robotic skill learning with minimal human supervision.”
