Using simulations, the autonomous aircraft are trained to become faster, more agile, and more efficient. Scrubbers with an artificial brain Artificial Intelligence makes robots mobile and autonomous. This is of particular interest for the manufacturers of cleaning equipment and their clients: Several 10.000 cleaning robots are currently deployed – and because of Corona, the number of smart cleaning machines is growing. The Digital Artisan Esther Hunziker creates digital art. In doing so, she fabricates parallel universes. But this has nothing to do with the fantasy genre. Surgery from a distance A joystick-controlled robot could help surgeons operate on stroke patients remotely. This would allow patients to be treated during the critical time window after a stroke - even if they are far away from a specialist. Biosphere II: Earth in miniature Exploring the world of tomorrow - in the world's craziest laboratory: 30 years ago, the artificial ecosystem "Biosphere II" in the Arizona desert achieved cult status through spectacular experiments. Today, scientists are rediscovering planet Earth in miniature. Based on sounds: AI determines species diversity According to a study, an automated analysis of animal sounds can provide a good indication of the development of species diversity in the area. The analysis was tested with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) on tropical reforestation areas. A sensor without chip and battery A skin sensor developed at MIT is as thin as adhesive tape and sends signals - without a chip or battery. The device can vibrate in response to a person's heartbeat or the salt in their sweat, as well as generate a readable electrical signal. The house from the 3D printer Open design ideas instead of rectangular geometries: Houses from the 3D printer not only look different from conventional buildings. Suppliers from the industry also promise that the technology is faster and more resource-efficient. But, Is that really true? A Covid passport that gets under the skin A Swedish company has developed a Covid passport for microchip implants. The head of the company is chipped himself. He is not worried about his privacy.
