in this episode Japanese scientists make sci-fi a reality China builds an aircraft carrier for the Common Man open AI next GPT and more but first highlights from the IFA 2024 let's get [Applause] [Music] it the IFA 2024 consumer electronics exhibition just wrapped up in Berlin as always we got our eyes on the prize bringing you the latest gadgets from the event check out this bad boy or should I say good boy techno's Dynamic 1 this is their first stride into Robotics and they decided to open with a wolf this puppy is controlled via smartphone remote
or voice commands under the hood there's a powerful 8 core processor and Intel re sense D430 camera as well as binocular and infrared sens ensors the robot can climb stairs jump and Shake Hands thanks to its joints with a torque of 33 lb Force foot or 45 Newton met it comes with a 15,000 milliamp battery which is a good call since it's also equipped with hypers sense Fusion system AI to boost performance another robot making an appearance was Bali from Samsung which we thought we'd never see again after The Disappearance of the company's robotic Butler
however ever the Bali project is back with a vengeance and the developers are working hard to make it useful especially for Smart Homes during the demo the robot followed its owner and carried out various commands for instance it could project recommended tourist spots onto the wall using a built-in projector it could also provide information about electricity tariffs and spit out a summary of energy consumption in the owner's home the robot also features a loudspeaker and the ability to make calls is this actually useful you decide in the comments the company has even more interesting smart
home options one of the highlights of Samsung's Booth was a giant smart ring model it reportedly collects data about the owner's health and daily routine using this information to dim the lights turn on a humidifier or activate the AC at the right time this is truly fascinating imagine not needing voice commands or tapping an app your home simply adapts to you would you be sold on this product if it learned how to make a sandwich LG Electronics was also promoting their home robot at the exhibition the AI homehub is expected to go on sale next
year equipped with wheels it can move around your house autonomously respond to voice commands control Smart Home devices summarize books by their covers and even come up with stories based on children's drawings sounds good but we're clearly not in Jetson's territory just yet there were also a few quirky gadgets like a hat that charges your smartphone the power hat from ecoflow is designed for those who can't part with their phones even on the beach its brim is embedded with ultra light solar panels that can charge a 4,000 mamp battery in 3 to four hours usba
or C are at your convenience of course the hat is also protected from moisture and dust so it can be used Outdoors it's available for pre-order for 79 bucks and oops it's already sold out on the more practical side there was the yarbo core robot for yard maintenance it can mow the lawn rake leaves and shovel snow this is all thanks to its modular design you can buy additional attachments like a tow hitch and plow with more tools expected in the future the robot is controlled by a special controller but in the case you're a
friendly vampire and don't want to bother your neighbors at night you can also connect to a VR headset it also works as a security guard tracking and alerting you of intruders on your property the downside the basic model is around 6,000 bucks while extras can be as much as an additional 1100 one major Trend at IFA 2024 was vacuum robots capable of climbing obstacles an inch and a half or 4 cm this is mostly thanks to retractable Wheels as seen in the robot from dream the technology is still in development but the company says it
will soon be part of their product line in other news Chinese flying car manufacturer xon ack introduced a real production version of its modular six- wheel concept the land aircraft carrier this machine is now available for pre-order and is going to cost you about $28,000 however you won't see it until 2026 the 18-footer or 5 1/2 M vehicle features an internal combustion engine that charges its batteries allowing it to travel 620 Mi or 1,000 km and its cargo hold there's a passenger flying vehicle that can automatically land and dock with the carrier public test flights
are already pending and we're expecting to see at least five to six flights on a full charge already in November this year so subscribe to Pro robots and get notified when that happens let's switch gears a little bit while some investors are disappointed by the lack of Returns on AI Investments a startup with 10 employees 3 months of existence and no product has recently raised raised a billion dollar bringing its Market valuation to 5 billion how easy peasy just have ilas sover as your founder after his high-profile departure from open aai where he accused the
company of violating safety rules Suds assembled his own team and promised to create an AI that will never harm humans turns out that was enough how's he going to compete with open a ey though Sam Alman plans to raise billions of dollars to build unique AI infrastructure in in the US and Promises to release gbt next a model 100 times more powerful than gbt 4 and that's all fine in Dandy until you start hearing rumors that openai plans to increase subscription prices 100 times as well how much are you willing to pay for GPT another
Mohan of the tech World Elon Musk has promised to send Starship on its maiden voyage to Mars in 2 years the mission will be unmanned and aims to prove the feasibility and safety of Landing the spacecraft on the red planet surface musk also added that if the test is successful a man Mission will follow in 4 years after that the number of flights to and from Mars is expected to increase exponentially which could allow the first inhabited City on Mars to be built within about 20 years on a side note Elon controls 2/3 of the
satellites currently operating in space with around 7,000 of them in orbit not only that but Tesla has reserved War Brothers Studios for October 10th they literally rented a small City it's expected that the robo taxi presentation will take place on the site where Batman and friends were filmed meanwhile in New York the world's first automated window washing system osmo was installed in a 45-story office building robots placed on a platform suspended from the roof wash the windows three times faster than traditional cleaning crews the robot cleaners equipped with brushes and scrapers are based on CA
robots they're not only fast but also delicate Force sensors help the robots gauge the fragility of the glass to apply the right amount of pressure lar ensures precise localization and positioning and AI algorithms provide stability in challenging weather conditions it's a simple task but complex Tech however the system developed by Skyline robotics is still controlled by an operator on the roof in the future it should become fully autonomous another example of robots at work you UB Tech has shared new functions of its Walker s light robot on the production line of the Fall Volkswagen plant
in king da according to reports the humanoid checks for quality on the assembly line which is cool but aren't robots supposed to be doing physically demanding work and Engineers from heie robotics got our producers all excited with their new video however instead of introducing a new super capable robot they showcased a robotic table that delivers food tools and drinks to you wherever you are heie here's a little secret that's why you have kids and engineers at the Italian Institute of Technology are something else one of their previous projects was to turn a childl looking robot
into an Iron Man for rescue operations now they've introduced a new project where they've equipped robotic dogs with hooks for carrying loads the robots are designed to work with other machines or humans to transport cargo across difficult Terrain is it me or does it look like they're running out of ideas and Chinese startup forier intelligence has announced the upcoming release of their new robot gr2 according to developers it will be a leap in robotic capabilities intriguing but let's see what you got going for you gr2 will feature a pure Vision system based on presence sens
and cameras Transformer models and bird's eye view imagery it will have agile Working Hands and the ability to analyze its own interaction experience with various objects remembered how it big brother gr1 showed a load capacity of 110 lb or 50 kilos even though it didn't use its hands looks like Fier decided to change things up the robot is designed to assist in patient rehabilitation with special handles on its hips for patients to grab onto in order to stand up and move the gr1 could also understand voice commands and mimic human actions but we've never seen
it handling anything it seems that the GR r 1 aims to make up for this although how is yet to be seen now get this Japanese scientists have ventured into the realm of Science Fiction researchers from the National Institute for Material Sciences have developed a metal alloy that can change and retain a new shape without losing strength it could be used to create aircraft with morphing shapes and ultr artificial muscles for robots yeah we've seen something like this before T1000 Rabel anybody the new titanium nickel alloy can stretch 20 times its length and function in
a wide temperature range from 1112 to 176 F or80 to 80 C thanks to the special three-stage processing method the new material boasts the strength of steel and the elasticity of rubber the cool part it can be easily reproduced in any lab what do you guys think what can Humanity do with this meanwhile in China they've taught robots to fear humans oh yes Engineers kicking them is the scariest thing in a robot's life from now on aside from a dying battery now x30 robotic dogs prefer to back away when they see people or moving objects
according to developers artificial fear is designed to help robots perform tasks more effectively in disaster zones if anyone out there has a guess as to why please let us know in the comments what they did was they took a 5,000 ft or 500 met roof 200 ft or 70 M off the ground and set it on fire they burned everything there from wood to tires and other combustibles the temperature at the site reached 1500 F or 800° C the culprit was fuao jeongu Aviation which is actively promoting its Z50 drones for use by firefighters the
drones are indeed powerful in 20 seconds they were able to ascend to the required height smash through tempered glass and begin extinguishing the fire with a 50 mm Cannon hose how effective were they you ask we'll let you decide there's more but we're out of time so subscribe to the channel like our videos and stay tuned for more from the world of high-tech [Music] w [Music]
