The creators of a lifelike “sexy robot” were left red-faced when a technical glitch captured on CNBC led the android to claim it will “destroy humans.” David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, was demonstrating “Sophia” at the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology show in Texas when the slip-up occured. After jokingly asking “do you want to destroy humans?…Please say ‘no’,” Hanson was answered by the unblinking machine. “OK. I will destroy humans.” It’s a far cry from the actual reason Hanson Robotics is developing the lifelike Androids. According to the company, the ‘bots will serve in theme parks and care facilities […]
A new version of Atlas, designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings. It is specialised for mobile manipulation. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain, help with navigation and manipulate objects. This version of Atlas is about 5′ 9″ tall (about a head shorter than the DRC Atlas) and weighs 180 lbs.
This is awesome!! Really want to try this.

This is pretty incredible… If you have the chance, watch the whole way through, it’s pretty amazing! It’s being coined ‘Holoportation’ and it’s a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time.

I’m working on the UX and structure for an exciting app at the moment, and I’ve learnt so much. It’s easy to get ‘tunnel vision’ when working on big projects for such a long period of time, so you have to constantly remind yourself to take a step back put yourself in the user’s shoes. During research, I came across this awesome article on how to win the trust of the user in order to gain permissions to enhance the app experience, and the different ways you can go about this. It covers permissions for contacts, photos, location and push notifications. Enjoy!
Thought I’d share these nice animation examples on sites I’ve seen recently, and my advice on how to produce these.

Some lovely parallax animations here. Very nicely done. Rally Interactive Absolutely love this animated ribbon menu – you can pull left and […]

This is great! Dolmio have developed a pepper grinder that, when used, turns off all devices in range – allowing for families to reconnect at dinnertime. When I googled this, the first thing that came up was ‘Dolmio Pepper Hacker price’. Understandably, it looks like a lot of mums are wanting to buy!
