Hey tech fanatics,

Last night, France “Kyll(ian)-ed” Morocco’s fairytale run of the World Cup, and this AI-loaded tournament is now almost at an end as we bring you the latest from our roundup.

Today’s Best Bits:

  • RADDOG, a security dog to make you safe

  • Gelbots to cure diseases in the body

  • Xiaomi’s fast and efficient drummer

  • Gamers to make their own games?

  • World’s first robot warehouse

  • BladeRobots - a new step for wind turbines

  • Picsart’s AI gets an upgrade

  • Fossil-sorting robots up to 79% accurate

  • Indian hospital is testing robots to assist patients

Meet RADDOG, a dog for security

Meet RADDOG, the robot dog that’s made for security purposes. It will become the stuff of your dreams, or nightmares depending on which side of the coin you belong to:

  • Working with several AITX techs to be more efficient, RADDOG gets dispatched when other camera systems activate it upon detecting an unidentified person.

  • The bot comes with tracking features to follow the intruder.

  • Only when the unidentified intruder goes to a geo-fenced area does the robot dog stop and return to its position.

If successful, the RADDOG will make the entire job of a security guard easier, as they won’t have to be on guard at all times since the dog will do so for them.

Gel-Bots to Cure Diseases

Scientists set to take my mom’s “eat jelly when you’re sick” life hack to the next level with these gel bots that can quickly enter the body and fix illnesses.

This is all you need to know about the tiny, creepy, water-like 3-D printed bots:

  • The gel bots are powered by temperature changes.

  • They don’t need any batteries or power supply and can shrink and stretch on their own.

  • They’re opposite to any other plastic and metal material robots, made exclusively to be soft and flexible to fix diseases.

Other News

  • Xiaomi’s bipedal drummer beats expectations, reported to have more control in hand-eye-movement than humans. Of all fields, drummers are the ones bots are coming for?

  • Experts at Polygon believe, with all the AI generation at our disposal, 10 years from now, gamers will simply build what they want to play. Maybe we’ll build GTA-6 ourselves then.

  • Renatus Robotics launches World’s first robot warehouse in an attempt to revolutionize inventory management.

  • Vestas has launched wind turbine robots, BladeRobots, that can do 4x the work than conventional blades.

  • Picsart’s AI gets new updates to make editing more efficient. What’s your answer to this, Canva?

  • Researchers have stated after various tests that fossil-sorting robot is around 79% accurate.

  • Indian hospital is testing out robots to assist patients and take care of them in the ICU. Definitely a step forward in making bots common in the medical industry.

Opinion of the Day

Google executives have given their opinion on why they’re not rushing forward with open-sourcing their AI generative software:

  • Google execs have stated that, while LaMDA Ai does its job well, it still runs the risk of errors when prompted.

  • If Google’s AI starts spewing misinformation, where would that leave Google as the world’s biggest search engine? Will people trust it anymore?

  • Google states that they have “a lot” planned for AI but they’ll roll out their plans slowly and gradually, instead of all at once.

  • The company’s of the opinion that open-sourcing anything too quickly will be an instant recipe for failure, hence they’ll try and test before making anything public.

A smart decision, given Google’s standing in the industry. What do you think?
