The future of transportation: Autonomous boats that can be 3D-printed
On your next visit to Amsterdam or Bangkok or Venice, that gondola you board might be driven by a robot instead of a human – and 3D printed rather than built. An article in Science Daily states that automated boats could one day ply the canals and rivers of cities, laden with cargo and passengers […]

Next-gen devices could operate not on electricity or batteries but on LIGHT
A future generation of electronic devices could do away with the need for batteries or the local power grid by drawing energy from light. And by “light,” the joint research group working on these devices means all forms of light, not just sunlight, a Nano Werk article states. Such devices can dispense with the need […]

CLAIM: Organ transplants to become “parts replacement” by 2070 when we will be able to “upgrade” organs that wear out with robotic pieces
Mark down 2070 as the earliest year when humans will be able to replace their worn-out biological organs with full-fledged robotic parts, says a Daily Mail article. And if Microsoft has its way, you’ll have your “robot second self” in 2020. The Daily Mail cites the example of “biohackers” who underwent surgery to install computer chips inside their bodies for […]

U.S. military spending millions on missile-destroying lasers that can be mounted on drones
The Pentagon wants a fleet of animal-inspired flying drones armed with lasers that can destroy any potential threat to the U.S., including enemy missiles waiting to be launched from their pads, reported The Daily Mail. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has put in a budget request of $9.9 billion for 2019. Of that amount, $66 […]

Deep-learning AI can determine what song is playing in your head
California-based researchers are showing off the latest version of their mind-reading artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. In a Digital Trends article, the deep-learning AI can read a person’s thought patterns in order to identify the song playing from your device – and in your head. Apps like Shazam employ similar machine learning that let them identify […]

Researchers develop AI system that can design and assemble themselves
It is worrisome enough that humans are programming artificial intelligence (AI) systems that might one day be able to think for themselves. Now, an article in Alpha Galileo states that U.K. researchers want to give the AI the ability to design, build, and reprogram itself in order to exceed the performance of human-designed systems. The […]

Atlas, the “world’s most dynamic humanoid”, is able to run, hop, bend, and move just like a real person
The mythical Atlas is a strong but stupid Titan who is forced to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders as punishment for fighting against the Greek gods. Boston Dynamics’ much more unnerving Atlas is a humanoid robot that can bend, hope, move, and run like a human being, a Live Science article stated. Built […]

Engineers develop a “soft robot” that uses responsive materials to swim through water
American researchers presented the very first swimming robots that do not need motors, servos, or a supply of power for propulsion. In a Science Daily article, the soft robots are made of responsive materials that change their shape whenever the temperature shifts. The regular deforming and reforming of their materials allow the robots to paddle […]

Mars Helicopter to travel with NASA during Red Planet Rover mission scheduled on 2020
NASA has already put space probes in orbit around Mars and rovers on its surface. In a few more years, it will put a helicopter in the skies of the Red Planet, the space agency announced on its homepage. When the Mars 2020 planetary mission takes off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, it will be […]

Insects turned into “soft robots” as they have artificial devices embedded on their backs
As if actual robots were not eerie enough, Singapore-based researchers reported their recent success at transforming beetles into “soft robots.” A Soft Robotics article detailed their method of planting artificial feedback devices on the backs of the insects, allowing them to assume direct control over the animals’ flight. Theirs is the first study to report […]
