Robots in agricultural farms .

Spraying with chemicals, monitoring and harvesting of crops that are labor intensive farmers take time. Scientists are already developing a robot that can perform some of these functions using radio frequency identification. Such a robot that can perform several processes at the same time thought it would help reduce the cost of farmers.

A robot with cameras and radio frequency sensors moving along the vineyards. Is an experimental mission during which the vines are sprayed with chemicals that need to be addressed. The prototype called "IdaBot" was developed by an engineering team at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa Idaho State.
"You can program to set the trees that are defined here need chemicals. Each tree will have a tag, which is read by IdaBot to spray chemicals needed. "
Mr. Griffin said that the autonomous robot can be integrated with other technologies such as monitoring reverence. It sends drone camera view of trees, which are processed by a computer program. The red color of the light, the more chemicals will have tree.
The robot will help farmers save costs on working hours and allow spraying the trees only have needed.

Robots, "Enemy No. 1". Are we heading toward the utopia?



Henry Ford started to sell Americans the famous "Model T" almost a year ago. To tell the truth, the machines were in production since 1908, and only in 1909, Ford said leaders of his company: "Customers can have a car with what color they want, as long as it is black". But only in 1914, the black politics as the only option available was finally implemented. Since 1918, the Model T Ford cars accounted for half of automobiles sold in the US. Of course, they were all black. Ford's success is explicable with its innovative trend that took shape in particular with the creation of the chain assembly, originally conceived to replace human personnel and individual construction and automobile manual. All models Ford T were identical, it emphasized a strategy of "black policy of" advantages were low cost and reliability of vehicles.

The nature of work is not transformed dramatically. There was always the new technologies eleminonin ancient crafts, but creating others. When the transport industry abandoned wagons and horses to automobiles, artisans came however to transfer their skills to new technologies - built frames for vehicles. While Ford's assembly chains were quite another thing: the production of a vehicle was decomposed into a series of simple operations, conducted each worker not specialized and more frequently repeated.

The fastest in the world with 130 kuadtrilion calculations per second .



Japan plans to build the fastest supercomputer in the world, to help to develop self-driving cars and robots.
The country will spend $ 139 million on the computer, which should make 130 kuadtrilion calculations per second. This means 130 petaflops in scientific way of speaking.
It is part of government policy to keep pace with South Korea and China, which are currently home computer that performs best in the world.

Engineers of the country will be charged with the task to build computer within the next year, the sources told Reuters.
130 petaflops computer would be Japan's first Taihulight China Sunway, which is able to reach 93 petaflops.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to companies and politicians to work closer so that Japan can win in areas such as artificial intelligence.
The computer must advance artificial intelligence technology that works with algorithms that mimic the human brain neural routes.

The future of sex? Robots






Technology is being introduced fast in every aspect of our lives and it is not long now that this will make it even in the bedroom.


Ian Pearson has published a report which tries to predict the future of the relationship between man and his intelligent creatures; robots.
The report deals with many things, but most unsettling is his prediction that within little more than 3 decades, intimate relationships between man and robot will exceed those between human and human.
Dr. Pearson says he has reached this conclusion by analyzing the propagation speed 'sex toys' in the last century, but also the spread of pornography.
"Very soon, pornography through virtual reality will become a common phenomenon," he says.
       

Among the predictions made by him it is that 2030 people will see through virtual porn stark realities just as today browsing adult sites. Precisely in this period, he says in the report, will appear before the robots forms the "bedrooms", that because of the price of salt will be purchased primarily from wealthy families.
By 2050, these robots will evolve and their price will drop significantly, enabling a massive expansion. He estimates that this market can cost more than 10 billion dollars after 2050.

Meet Cobo, your next colleague



Humans and robots working together in a factory in Germany Baden-Wurrtemberg. CNN has devoted an article Cobo, the robot behind business success.

Carmen is one of dozens of "Cobo", German koloegët robots produce engines Sew line. It is designed to raise the weight up to 500 kg, and help in setting engines easily.
When added Carmen, Tanya, Jessie, and other robots, all with feminine names, company Sew there was an increase of 15% in productivity, and a decrease of 40% of production time. In this factory produced more than a million different engines.

The key, says manager Sew is Cobo how to help people. "We have created a different way of working: a man-robot cooperation that puts in the center of the human workforce," says Johann Söder manager Sew-EURODRIVE.

German factories are focusing increasingly on the revolution of robots Suhm. This year, Adidas announced that new shoes are manufactured with robots they called "speed-factory". Volkswagen also use robots to produce its cars.


However Sew not see robots as part of an automated factory, but as helpers.
