> The company plans to launch the production of fully autonomous robotics without a rudder or pedal musk sees the new cars as the driving force of the next stage of tesla growth and plans to dedicate it to a separate event next year robowatto according to the entrepreneur will highlight among the competitors the lowest price per kilometer of the trip and we are excited for the details the american startup green launch introduced a hydrogen gun for inexpensive and environmentally friendly satellite launch into earth orbit essentially the development is a long tube filled with a mixture of hydrogen helium and oxygen the payload is accelerated by a rapid expansion of the gases inside the tube and according to developers the hydrogen cannon can fire satellites every 60 to 90 minutes low earth orbits at altitude between 300 and 1000 kilometers can be reached in less than two hours and some are much faster in this case the projectile should be a mini rocket with a second stage which will help the instrument to reach the correct orbit in essence a hypersonic cannon replaces the first stage of a rocket which reduces the cost of launching and reduces the environmental load engineers at the beijing institute of technology are developing a rat robot to work in disaster zones and monitor pipelines the skew row robot can walk crawl and climb objects as well as turn sharply with unprecedented dexterity also the skew row can recover from falls as can its biological prototype to create the robot scientists used x-rays of real rats to better understand the animal's anatomy especially the joints they then developed the skew road to have structure movement models and degrees of freedom similar to that of the rodents they had studied this includes two degrees of freedom in each limb waist and the head the robot successfully passed all of the experiments that the robot was assigned including carrying 200 grams of cargo 91 of its own body weight over a field with a gradient of up to 20 degrees lonestar startup announced plans to establish data centers on the moon equipment for the verification of the concept namely the server and storage module will be sent as

applied to the international telecommunication union for the use of radio frequency spectrum on the moon ion q and hyundai motor will use the quantum technologies to classify images and recognize 3d objects ion-q has already made great progress in classifying 43 types of road signs using its own quantum capacity the next step will be to combine quantum machine learning with the hyundai test environment and reproduce a variety of scenarios possible in the real world ion q and hyundai intend to find a wider application of quantum technologies for example in addition to road signs three-dimensional objects such as pedestrians and cyclists will be recognized the newest quantum computer ion cue aria will be responsible for data processing the japanese company jr west introduced a robot for railway maintenance it's a platform with an integrated humanoid robot on a retractable structure the robot can perform various works with heavy equipment at high altitudes the robot's controlled by an operator who sees the first person image and can receive feedback from the machine about the interaction with the objects control of the bot requires almost no training and while the robot itself can interact with objects of any shape it's not afraid of shocks this development will go on sale in 2024 and should improve the productivity and safety of railway workers for the past five years researchers at the tokyo information somatics laboratory have been testing the capabilities of additional robotic limbs that could help a person perform various actions similar to those of dr octopus in the marvel comic book series the aim is to find the ways to restructure the human body paying particular attention to increasing and multiplying the capabilities of our upper limbs originally the upper limbs were controlled by leg movements but now they respond to shoulder movements work is in progress but it will be interesting to see the final results apple demonstrated the work of its robot daisy capable of dismantling the iphone to recycle device parts the reported robot performance is 200 iphone per hour i.e one daisy bot can recycle up to 1.2 million iphones per year the robot has four modules the first is responsible for removing the display and the second separates the battery from the device since the battery is glued to the back of the iphone the robot uses a strong gust of very cold air to loosen the glue the third module then unscrews the screws from the phone the fourth module places all components and parts on a conveyor belt so that people can put them in containers and depending on the type of material for further processing the robotics research team at google is developing a new way to train robots people can learn just by watching but robots can't because of differences in their construction with the human body to solve this problem the team introduced a self-control method for cross-embodying reverse learning with reinforcement or x-irl according to him instead of trying to directly replicate human actions the robot discovers their ultimate goal he then summarizes this information as a reward function that is independent of physical differences such as the shape and effect of finite effectors and learning to get there by trial and error at the same time robots learn more when video examples were varied experiments have shown that the new method of learning has led to an increase in learning efficiency with reinforcement of two to four times the endo and suzumori laboratories of the tokyo institute of technology have developed a soft tensorgrit robot driven by a thin artificial muscle the robot for exploring unknown spaces is constantly striving to move forward adapting to the shape of the environment and literally pressing against the walls of space engineers have also created a neural network capable of recognizing the shape and structure of a tensor grit robot in this way researchers can recognize the shape and size for example of underground caves or entrances into rubble check out the galactic wings from the collision of two galaxies in the lion constellation filmed by the hubble telescopes from the world of hype in korea mass production of humanoid robots at the gluck plant has begun the 3d printing and 3d design company has released a batch of ultra realistic humanoids using its fleet of cubicon sla large format 3d printers the robots were designed and created as mechatronic works of art designed to be installed in a simulated robotic assembly line all robot parts were printed on a 3d printer with extremely photorealistic surface treatment a urethane coating was also applied to ensure the durability of photopolymer 3d printing parts and in the future the company plans to open a line of 3d metal printing so that it will be able to move to the manufacture of more durable and functional models the united states will allow human clinical trials of the first commercial brain computer interface from syncron and when implanted stentrode electrodes move to the brain through the blood vessels the system then starts converting brain activity into electrical signals allowing you to work with text messages emails online shopping or any other relatively simple task and if successful the system will be universally usable giving new opportunities to patients with paralysis but first the interface needs to confirm its security as well as the ability to effectively work with digital devices without the help of hands boston dynamics has updated the spot robot it can now charge in an hour and supports 5g new payload options include the spot core io an external module that allows spot to process data in the field inside is the nvidia jetson xavier nx platform with a powerful gpu and a 6 core arm processor it also includes a 5g modem the second payload variant the rajant kinetic mesh radio kit allows spot to be deployed in an isolated network without infrastructure changes the equipment provides coverage of up to two hundred thousand square feet the robot's hardware has also been updated the five stereo cameras on the case now provide the operator with a full color image when building 3d maps the spot control tablet received intuitive control with a touch screen 8 hours of autonomous operation protection from impacts and weathering but boston dynamics also offers a physical joystick to control the spot arm and virtual joysticks to control the robot itself the scientists at the mit artificial intelligence laboratory have created an algorithm to solve the most complex problems of computer vision assigning a mark to each pixel in an image without human intervention the stetgo algorithm is based on the dyno algorithm which knows almost everything about the world thanks to its database of 14 million images but the new algorithm improves the basis of dyno through a learning process that mimics our ability to piece together coherent pictures for the stetco unmanned vehicle datasets stetgo has successfully segmented roads people and road signs with much higher resolution and detail than previous system in images from space the system smashed every square foot of the earth's surface into roads vegetation and buildings to detect these simple objects without human assistance the algorithm searches for similar objects that appear in the data set he then ties these objects together to construct consistent views of the world this system is essentially capable of giving a real vision to any tech from a robot to an autonomous car starlink satellite internet became portable users were allowed to take terminals on trips for 25 dollars a month the service was called portability and now remote workers can live and work in places where there's never a fixed connection nor 5g the truth is that the traffic communication is not working yet and also users were warned that priority in the provider's network will be given to fixed registered subscribers tesla's building a new plant in shanghai with the capacity of 450 000 electric cars per year it will be located right next to the operating plant together the two factories will have to produce more than a million cars a year providing demand in the local market and supplying cars for export the date of construction of the plant is not yet been released rocket lab launched its electron rocket 26 times and for the first time tried to catch its first stage helicopter the technology was developed in 2020 but then the copy of the first stage was used this time it was real but went a little off plan a modified sikorsky s92 helicopter equipped with a stage grab hook waited in a specific area to catch the missile that had already deployed its parachute after capture the helicopter was able to deliver the spent stage to the platform for maintenance and reusability the capture itself was successful however the helicopter hit the missile at an altitude of 1980 meters but the pilot found that the actual rocket stage was much heavier than the replica and he had to drop it into the ocean before delivery the spin launch startup showed a video of a test of its kinetic system for putting satellites into orbit the system unrolled the load with a centrifuge camera giving it a speed of 1600 kilometers per hour and then launched it into the atmosphere the entire flight lasted 82 seconds and reached a height of 7620 meters it's noted that during testing a small part of the capacity of the plant was used electronics on load at the same time withstood the load which became an important indicator of the test the full scale spin launch l100 launcher will be three times larger than the a33 mock-up currently being tested it will be able to launch up to 200 kilograms spacecraft at 8 000 kilometers per hour and it's assumed that in this way satellites with a small rocket may be able to fly to outer space boundary after which the rocket will use its own engines to move the objects to given orbit launcher tested 3d printed rocket engine another startup launcher first showed on video a full-scale test of its e-2 rocket engine fully printed on a 3d printer the company's working on the development of the launcher lite rocket which will launch into orbit a payload weighing up to 150 kilograms the e2 engine camera is fully printed on a 3d copper alloy printer launcher uses amcm and 4k printers to assemble parts of the propulsion system and although the startup rocket will not be reused the company hopes in the future to create a new version with nine engines and reusable first stages [Music] undefined technology has tested another prototype of its ion-propelled drones the new model became much more noisy at 90 decibels compared to seven decibels of the very first prototype however the new model lasted 2.5 minutes in the air and in the future the company plans to reduce the noise level to at least 7 db and increase engine thrust the commercialization of drone unique ion propulsion technology is out of the question developers at the california institute of technology presented a model of deep machine learning that could adapt drone movements to weather in real time the method called neural flying uses a separation strategy that requires only a few neural network parameters to be updated in real time this effect researchers say is achieved by means of meta-learning algorithms which pre-trains the neural network that to effectively adapt to a changing environment only certain key parameters need to be updated the system was tested in a wind tunnel and as a result testing drones learned to withstand strong winds in just 12 minutes of flight scientists from the mit laboratory of computer science and artificial intelligence at mit have developed a scalable conveyor for the design and manufacture of new act soft pneumatic actuators the system uses machine knitting processes to create banana fingers as the authors call them the person sets the pattern of stitches and sensors in the system to program how the drive will move and simulates its shape the finished textile part is attached to an inexpensive silicone tube a conductive thread that reacts to touch is responsible for the perception of the knitted drive the combination of elastic and touch stitches allows you to program the bend of devices when inflating as well as taking into account the feedback when you're using it the technology can also be used to create medical exoskeletons as it relieves some of the load from human muscles the indie autonomous challenge set a new world speed record for land-based autonomous cars the dalara av-21 was programmed by the poly move team at the polytechnic university of milan in italy in coordination with the university of alabama he was able to reach a speed of 309 kilometers per hour and keep her at that pace for a thousand meters this was due to engine upgrades which were able to deliver power of thirty percent more than previous models it will now be installed on all unmanned challenger racing cars and all cars in the race are the same and equipped with lidar six cameras sensors four radars automatic drives nvidia quadro rtx 8000 graphics processors and an automated driving system that each team develops itself the nvidia developers have introduced a learning model that helps robots naturally give and receive objects from actual people they predict which way the robot will take the object from the human hand checking up to 500 possible trajectories of the robot's capture from its initial location to the object the model updates the robot solution several times in a second this allows him to quickly adapt the plant trajectory and his decisions on where to take the object the researchers assessed the performance of their model in several experiments where the robots transmitted and received various objects interacting with four people call mott
