Sophia (robot)

          SOPHIA (ROBOT)

      Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. It has been designed to respond to questions, and has been interviewed around the world. In October 2017, the robot became a Saudi Arabian citizen, the first robot to receive citizenship of any country.

       Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015. The robot is modeled after actress Audrey Hepburn, and is known for its human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous robotic variants. According to the manufacturer, David Hanson, Sophia uses artificial intelligence, visual data processing and facial recognition. Sophia also imitates human gestures and facial expressions and is able to answer certain questions and to make simple conversations on predefined topics (e.g. on the weather). 

      The robot uses voice recognition technology from Alphabet Inc. (parent company of Google) and is designed to get smarter over time. Sophia's intelligence software is designed by SingularityNET. The AI program analyses conversations and extracts data that allows it to improve responses in the future.

      Hanson designed Sophia to be a suitable companion for the elderly at nursing homes, or to help crowds at large events or parks. He hopes that the robot can ultimately interact with other humans sufficiently to gain social skills.

An Exploration of Data Mining and Machine Learning Methods

An Exploration of Data Mining and Machine Learning Methods

       Data mining is the process of sorting through large data sets to identify patterns and establish relationships to solve problems through data analysis.
       Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.

       The wired networks prove to have more layers of defense at firewalls, operating systems and networks. This makes them less vulnerable to attacks than wireless networks, but still a target for cybersecurity issues.
        Methods of data mining and machine learning are very complex and pose challenges for understanding when and how each should be used. The complexity of algorithms also make it harder to tell which method will be most effective when dealing with cybersecurity attacks.
        When determining the effectiveness of the methods, there are many criteria that must be taken into account. They include accuracy, complexity, time for classifying an unknown instance with a trained model, and understandability of the final solution of each machine learning or data mining method.
         There are three types of cyber analysis that work with an intrusion detection system: misuse-based, anomaly-based, and hybrid. Misuse-based are used to detect known attacks based on the signatures of those types of attacks. Anomaly-based techniques identify anomalies in normal behavior and can detect zero-day attacks. Hybrid techniques combine misuse and anomaly detection. They can detect both known and unknown attacks while having a small false positive rate.

Data in DNA !!!

Could DNA be the Future of Data Storage?

Researchers at Harvard have inserted images into the DNA of a living bacteria to demonstrate the possibilities for long-term data storage. Storing digital information in a molecule that is invisible to the naked eye could be the future of data storage.

While all of our family photos, music and movies currently need to be stored on physical devices, researchers hope that one day you will be able to store your data by embedding it into your skin. To test this idea, the researchers used a gene-editing system, and inserted a short animated image (GIF) into the genomes of living Escherichia coli bacteria. They took each individual pixel and converted them into nucleotides.

The researchers inserted the GIF into in the bacteria in five frames and then were able to retrieve it by sequencing the bacterial DNA and reading the nucleotide code. This experiment worked with 90 percent accuracy, although it is specific to bacteria.

IEEE Life Fellow and 2017 IEEE Medal of Honor recipient Kees Schouhamer Immink explains, “Imagine that you could store the whole Internet in a device as large as a pint of beer. Impossible? DNA-based storage has the potential to realize this in practice due to its unique features of density and durability. Surely, there are some planning problems to be tackled, but both the DNA potential and the need for low-cost storage are so huge, these challenges are sure to be met.”

Other scientists have researched DNA for storage because it can still be sequenced after hundreds of years. They used synthetic DNA instead of living cells for the sake of longevity as living cells are always changing or dying off, making it a challenge to host data. Using living bacteria is better protection for data because it can thrive in high temperature environments or even after nuclear exposure.

Evolving Trend: AUTOMATION

                                            AUTOMATION

                                                   Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention, with some processes have been completely automated.

Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers, usually in combination. Complicated systems, such as modern factories, airplanes and ships typically use all these combined techniques. The benefit of automation include labor savings, savings in electricity costs, savings in material costs, and improvements to quality, accuracy and precision.

IFTTT

                                          IFTTT (If This Then That)

           IFTTT is a free web-based service that people use to create chains of simple conditional statements called applets. An applet is triggered by changes that occur within other web services such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest. An applet may send an e-mail message if the user tweets using a hashtag or copy a photo on Facebook to a user's archive if someone tags a user in a photo. IFTTT is an initialism for If This Then That.

In addition to the Web-based application, IFTTT runs on iOS and  Android On February, 2015, IFTTT renamed their original application to IF, and released a new suite of apps called Do which lets users to create shortcut applications and actions. As of 2015, IFTTT users created about 20 million "recipes" each day. All of the functionalities of the Do suite of apps have since been integrated into a redesigned IFTTT app.

Cloud Computing

                                                        CLOUD COMPUTING
                  Cloud computing is a type of internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Grid Computing

GRID COMPUTING

            Grid computing is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. Grid computing is distinguished from conventional high performance computing systems such as cluster computing in that grid computers have each node set to perform a different task/application. Grid computers also tend to be more heterogeneous and geographically dispersed (thus not physically coupled) than cluster computers. Although a single grid can be dedicated to a particular application, commonly a grid is used for a variety of purposes. Grids are often constructed with general-purpose grid middleware software libraries. Grid sizes can be quite large.

vein identification

                                                      VEIN IDENTIFICATION 

     The biometric identification and security device known as PalmSecure.

     It works by identifying the vein pattern in the palms of our hands.

     Similar to our fingerprints, vein patterns are unique to each individual. The purported advantages of this technology is that it is less expensive, easier to manage, and is more reliable than traditional methods of identification. -

                                                          AIR INTO WATER

      The WATERMILL- This latest technology invention produces fresh water at a cost of about 3 cents a liter. Originally designed for areas that do not have clean drinking water, the Watermill is for households that prefer an eco-friendly, cost effective alternative to bottled water.

       Atmospheric water generators convert air into water when the temperature of the air becomes saturated with enough water vapor that it begins to condense (dew point).

      "What is unique about the Watermill is that it has intelligence," says the inventor Ritchey. This makes the appliance more efficient. It samples the air every 3 minutes to determine the most efficient time to convert the air into water.

The Piano Door Bell lets your guests tickle the ivories with a new tune every time they come over.

Cool la...!!!

          SMART BELT: THE WELT

The smart belt called the WELT looks indistinguishable from a standard belt, but contains an array of sensors packed into the back of its buckle and a micro USB port for charging on its side.

There's just one catch: it's called the Welt as in wellness belt. The device is made by a team within Samsung's Creative Lab, which is an in-house incubator that lets company employees play with ambitious ideas and turn them into full-fledged startups. The products aren't exactly designed to be fast-tracked as consumer products. They're mostly proof-of-concepts and prototypes, though you wouldn't guess that by looking at Samsung's smart belt. Created by three employees, the gadget is surprisingly fully formed and even quite a bit dressy when it comes to style.

          The Welt pairs with a smartphone app that immediately identifies your waistline and counts your steps throughout the day. There's also a feature to monitor your over-eating, which the app infers from changes in belt tension. Because the Welt is a Creative Lab project, there's no pricing or availability. But the team says it is considering turning the belt into a consumer product sometime in the future.

            3D printing of nerve tissue with low cost BioBot 3D bioprinter

When it was first released, the BioBot 3D bioprinter was met with an overwhelmingly-positive  response and for good reason.  The bioprinter is capable of 3D printing human tissue and could eventually be used to print functional organs for those in need of transplants.The main motive of BioBot is to fabricate synthesized nerve tissue. The key is developing the right “bioink,” or printable tissue. The nano-material could be used to help regenerate damaged nerves for patients with injuries – including those with sensitive spinal cord injuries. This will also be useful for researchers...!!!

Easy Selfie...!

Snap Selfies Without Selfie Sticks: This Drone Captures Photos and Videos in Midair…!!!

            

   Instead of extending your arm or using a selfie stick to snap shots of you and your crew, you could use a new pocket-size drone — dubbed the "AirSelfie" — to help you remotely capture aerial photos and videos.

   The AirSelfie is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot full high-definition. People, groups and companies can take pictures of themselves, their backgrounds and their projects from distances, heights and angles that they never could using their arms or a stick.

   The AirSelfie is controlled via a free iOS or Android app. The app can make the drone take off; adjust its height and direction; let it hover autonomously; and help users take an HD aerial shot or video with just a push of a button. Users can also activate a 10-second timer, giving people enough time to hide their phones so they don't appear in the picture or video. The drone can take up to eight consecutive shots.

   The AirSelfie uses Wi-Fi to send photos and videos wirelessly to smartphones. The app also allows users to post photos and videos taken with the drone immediately on social media.

   After snapping photos, the drone can return to its departure point automatically with the touch of a button. Users can also guide the AirSelfie back manually, and its manufacturers said it is safe for the drone to land on a person's open hand, or even for people to grab the drone while it is still hovering in midair.

   A rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives the AirSelfie a flight time of 3 minutes. The drone is expected to hit the market in 2017.   Thank u for reading my post guys…!!!
