The robot dog of the future

Italian designer Gaetano De Cicco imagined the pets of tomorrow, and more precisely the robots canines as we are starting to see some of them. This is a Samsung robot dog with four thin metal legs, and it is equipped with an elastic and waterproof suit. On his "muzzle", a screen that translates his mood, his desires and his questions.

A computer watch on the wrist

We are used to smart health connected watches, but the TicWris Max takes us to another dimension. With its screen color 3 inches, it has everything of the James Bond watch. Sold for around 150 euros, it has the equipment of a smartphone with a camera, a processor four cores, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Its 2.880 mAh battery is comfortable and it unlocks with a system similar to FaceID. All with chips GPS, Wireless and 4G which allow you to make and receive calls without a smartphone.

Drones, kings of the prisoner ball

Avoiding obstacles is essential for drones. Engineers from the University of Zurich have developed a new system that gives devices exceptional reflexes. Experts say most current obstacle avoidance systems take around 20 to 40 milliseconds to process changes in their environment, and if that's enough to avoid an tree or a building, it is however insufficient for objects in movement like birds or just another drone. According to these researchers, their cameras allow this reaction time to be reduced to only 3.5 milliseconds, and they demonstrated this by launching a ball as in a prisoner ball game.
