Samsung ready to unveil flip and foldable phones

Samsung ready to unveil flip and foldable phones

Samsung is expected to announce some new flip and foldable phones. As per the reports, Samsung will make the official announcement at the galaxy unpacked event to be held on August 11th. Samsung itself revealed the event details in the official Twitter handle. Samsung’s website post reads, “For the past decade and we’ve seen smartphone innovations change our daily lives. Why change a good thing? We are about to give you better. Get ready to unfold.” Samsung’s first foldable phone was the galaxy fold that came to market in September…

Faster & efficient robotic window cleaner

Faster & efficient robotic window cleaner

A new robotic window cleaner has been made by researchers that ensure more potential than the current methods. As per the note released by one of its co-founders, Mohammed dabri, their robotic window will increase efficiency and abolish the risk of injuries. Mohammed dabri says, they developed a robotic window cleaner after witnessing the tragic death of a window cleaner who fell from the 10th floor of a building. “Then, a man lost his life just so the windows are cleaner for a few weeks, which is very unfair trade,”…

The Bluebird suspends 8 accounts pushed for the audit of the US presidential election

The social media platform Twitter suspended eight accounts that propelled the audit of US presidential election results. Twitter claims the suspension is not related to the hate spread and undermining of the American democratic system. The suspended accounts include @arizonaaudit, @AuditWarRoom, @Audit_Arizona, @Audit_PA, @AuditGeorgia, @AuditMichigan, @AuditNevada, and @AuditWisconsin. These accounts were created for promoting the Republican-led election audit in Arizona and shoving for audits to be performed in other states as well. @arizonaaudit billed itself the official Twitter account for the audit and verified. Twitter confirmed the suspension in a…

Latest energy dissipation device: Simple & cost-effective

University at Buffalo engineers developed the latest energy dissipation device claimed to be having wide applications in transportation & safety. The device is cost-effective since it uses low-cost metallic materials and it has a simple design. The device is designed in a way to possess both high stiffness( the ability to bear loads and resist collapsing) and high damping which means it can dissipate energy. It has various applications from automobiles, and ship buffers to helicopters, drones and more.   “Most energy absorbers carrying high stiffness work by crushing or…

Mixed precision approach for modelling large geospatial datasets

The international team of researchers could speed up the modelling of large geospatial datasets with benchmark accuracy when implemented on a computing system based on highly parallelized graphics processor units. Computers can perform large calculations in a short time. But due to the constraint on the way the digital system stores data, calculation resulting in a longer sequence of digits will be curtailed. Accumulation of precision errors in geospatial datasets can lead to faulty modelling outcomes. The latest development in the field seems to be an elegant solution for this…

Instagram rolling out new security feature to protect teens

Facebook-owned Instagram announced that it is updating Instagram with additional security features on Tuesday. With the new security feature, Instagram will change the account type of teen users under 16 to “Private”. As per the report, The social media platform uses AI to detect user’s age.   “We think private accounts are the right choice for young people, but we recognize some young creators might want to have public accounts to build a following,” Instagram said in a blog post. “We want to strike the right balance of giving young people…

Hackers can hide malware codes inside AI neural networks

A group of researchers at cornel University has discovered that it is possible to inject malware code into Ai neural networks. The study says This way cybercriminals could access computer systems that run AI applications.   AI-empowered systems process a high volume of data to perform tasks assigned, but such networks are vulnerable to infiltration by foreign code. The team demonstrated it by embedding malware into the neural network behind an AI system called AlexNet, despite it being rather hefty, taking up 36.9 MiB of memory space on the hardware running…

Real me flash has features similar to iPhone…!

Realme has declared their upcoming smartphone “Realme Flash” with some brand new features.  GSM Arena reported that the Realme flash will be the first-ever android phone that supports magnetic charging as it will come with Realme Magdart. It will clip into the back of the phone and charge the smartphone similar to apple’s MagSafe. Realme MagSafe consists of a fan to check on thermal and is big compared to apple’s MagSafe.The charging speed is expected to be more than 15W making it the fastest magnetic charger in the world.   …

The cassie robot made history by running 5km

The robot named Cassie developed by the OSU spinout company has made the headlines by traversing 5 kilometres in just 53 minutes. Cassie, the first bipedal robot was launched in 2017. Hurst the co-founder says” The dynamic robotics laboratory students in the OSU College of engineering combined expertise  from biomechanics and existing robot control approaches with new machine learning tools.” Cassie used deep reinforcement learning algorithm to develop the ability to run. The algorithm is a powerful method in AI that enables robots to develop skills like running, skipping, and…

Smart robot for the healthcare sector

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed a robot that realized simultaneous disinfection of both air and object surfaces. The technology behind this robot can automatically detect disinfection objects and control the positioning of the manipulator concerning users’ needs. It has been observed that the robot may have wide applications in medical environments, like Intensive Care Medicine (ICU), Disinfection Supply Center and Static Delivery Center, etc. The researchers used teleoperation and deep learning technology for training the robot to identify…
