How the Philippines space program will combat the global waste problem
Posted by Chris J. Kent in category: space travel
Philippines’ first rocket company will use renewable, low-cost rocket fuel to send its first rocket into low earth orbit.
Philippines’ first commercial spaceflight company, Orbital Exploration Technologies, is developing the country’s first suborbital launch vehicles, and they will be powered by renewable, low-cost fuel made from waste plastics.

SpaceX Is Building A Giant Gas Pipeline
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: space travel
S SpaceX Is Building A Giant Gas Pipeline – Silently: SpaceX is not just working on going beyond the earth, but they’re also planning on going into the earth – in search of gas. They’re building a giant gas pipeline.
With the enormity of the things that’ll have to come together for such a project to take shape, why has SpaceX and the mainstream media decided to keep everything about it on a hush? And most importantly, why is a company known for space exploration drilling for oil and building giant gas pipes? W
Assume you’ve hyped up the creation and delivery of a gigantic rocketship capable of transporting humans to Mars. Assume, for whatever reason, you’ve determined that neither hydrogen gas nor conventional rocket fuel (kerosene) will work for this rocket.

Armed with remote-controlled rifles, military robot dogs are now on the move
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: military, robotics/AI
The robot dog has a remote-controlled rifle attached to its back as a human operator can control it via an Android tablet. The robot has been named the SPUR, which stands for Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle.
It features a 6.5mm Creedmoor rifle, from military defense company SWORD International, on top of a Quadrupedal Unmanned Ground Vehicle (QUGV) developed by Ghost Robotics.
The SPUR was first displayed at the US Army’s annual convention in Washington DC on Monday.

Algorithms of war: The military plan for artificial intelligence
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: information science, military, robotics/AI
At the outbreak of World War I, the French army was mobilized in the fashion of Napoleonic times. On horseback and equipped with swords, the cuirassiers wore bright tricolor uniforms topped with feathers—the same get-up as when they swept through Europe a hundred years earlier. The remainder of 1914 would humble tradition-minded militarists. Vast fields were filled with trenches, barbed wire, poison gas and machine gun fire—plunging the ill-equipped soldiers into a violent hellscape of industrial-scale slaughter.
Capitalism excels at revolutionizing war. Only three decades after the first World War I bayonet charge across no man’s land, the US was able to incinerate entire cities with a single (nuclear) bomb blast. And since the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1,945 our rulers’ methods of war have been made yet more deadly and “efficient”.

Facebook talks about an interesting new AI concepts that can see and remember everything it’s user does
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: robotics/AI, transportation
While reading or listening about the future of the world and its technology, you might have heard the term Artificial Intelligence. It surely is the future of technology and applications in the near future, major tech companies have been working on developing better versions of AI and are expecting it to revolutionize technology.
With many companies heavily investing towards Artificial Intelligence, Social giant ‘Facebook’ is not far behind in this race towards the rising industry. Facebook a few years ago took it’s step into the world of AI and is now making big moves by creating AI based products and slowly capturing a large market share in this industry.
AI based developments in Facebook have increased since the company increased its workforce in the AI sector. Recent news suggests that developers at Facebook are working towards another interesting AI program, this one will be able to see, hear and memorize everything users do. Facebook said that it wants the AI to have things such as episodic memory which means that the AI would be able to remember even small details such as where you kept your car keys. Surprising isn’t it?

New fibers can make breath-regulating garments
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI
“Robotic” textiles could help performers and athletes train their breathing, and potentially help patients recovering from post-surgery breathing changes.
A new kind of fiber developed by researchers at MIT and in Sweden can be made into clothing that senses how much it is being stretched or compressed, and then provides immediate tactile feedback in the form of pressure, lateral stretch, or vibration. Such fabrics, the team suggests, could be used in garments that help train singers or athletes to better control their breathing, or those help patients recovering from disease or surgery to recover their breathing patterns.

What Role Can Artificial Intelligence Play in Fixing the Security Skills Shortage?
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: education, robotics/AI, security
Demand for highly desirable digital skills is hitting new heights. A recent Learning and Work Institute report noted that one in four (27%) employers now need the majority of their workers to have in-depth specialist knowledge in one or more technology areas. And 60% of those surveyed expect their reliance on advanced digital skills to increase over the next five years.
The skills gap is particularly prevalent in the security tech sector. A global study from the Center for Cyber Safety and Education predicted a terrifying shortage of 1.8 million security workers by 2022. This is made worse by the number of young people taking IT-related GCSEs in the UK, falling by 40% since 2015 (according to Learning and Work Institute data).
This scarcity of qualified professionals has inflated salaries, making it hard for firms that cannot afford to offer large paychecks and grand benefit packages to secure top talent.

Putting artificial intelligence at the heart of health care — with help from MIT
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI
Artificial intelligence is transforming industries around the world — and health care is no exception. A recent Mayo Clinic study found that AI-enhanced electrocardiograms (ECGs) have the potential to save lives by speeding diagnosis and treatment in patients with heart failure who are seen in the emergency room.
A dedicated practitioner, Adedinsewo is a Mayo Clinic Florida Women’s Health Scholar and director of research for the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program. Her clinical research interests include cardiovascular disease prevention, women’s heart health, cardiovascular health disparities, and the use of digital tools in cardiovascular disease management.
