The KickScooter T60 is a new self-driving scooter that was introduced in China to drive itself to a charging station. Most countries are falling behind with the new technology, having to gather their scooters around the town every night for them to be charged. However, this new idea prevents all that work as it uses AI to navigate its way back to the charging stations without a person. https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/16/20809002/segway-ninebot-electric-scooter-self-driving-uber-lyft-charging-station
A three year old Germany startup is on its way to taking advantage of the low-code movement globally. Having raised USD$4M seed funding recently, Next Matter hopes teams are well and truly over the emails/ spreadsheets/ chat/ productivity tools and apps and looking for something more end to end.An end to end operationally focussed toolchain, that integrates with the usual salesforce, hubspot, slack etc?Look forward to more drag & drop user interfaces wrapping around these tools to simplify our working lives!https://www.nextmatter.com/image credit: pixabay
As few as one-in-1000 sea turtle hatchlings survive the perilous journey from nest to ocean.A world-first artificial intelligence system has been developed to analyse thousands of photographs of remote beaches to identify evidence of turtle nests and their predators.A collaboration by the CSIRO, Aak Puul Ngantam (APN) of the Cape York Indigenous rangers and Microsoft, the cloud-based system is trying to boost the survival rates of turtle hatchlings in Australia's remote far north.https://thewest.com.au/technology/ai-used-to-protect-qld-turtle-habitats-ng-s-2050072
There’s been research to date on kinetic energy, using human gait as an identity fingerprint and others for new battery like contraptions and more. As a side note, this Editor hopes we skip the Matrix phase above!The latest US researchers are trying to find ways for our human body heat and energy to power wearable devices. If they succeed, what environmental & sustainable benefits could we see? No more pesky 6month battery lives? If our energy and movement could be distinct, perhaps it is a bio marker for identity and more? https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/02/12/wearable-tech-using-body-battery-created-colo-researchers/6735709002/image credit: The Matrix movie
