Seen here looking suspiciously like an electric wheelchair somebody tore the seat off of and replaced with some type of space-age vibrator, a new stealth robot prepares to infiltrate my dreams and turn them into nightmares. The robot, developed by a lot of jerks at the CSIRO Autonomous Equipments Laboratory in Australia, takes benefit of background noise to understand when it can slip around quietly and undetected.

Geared up with a camera, laser scanner, notebook computer, and a sound pressure level meter, the as yet unnamed four-wheel robot has the capacity to predict how long background seems like mobile phone, cars, and animal calls will persist, permitting it to time its very own motions and seem emissions for maximum stealth.

The robotic can use its sound calculations to topics up to 160 feet away, as well as has the capacity to map terrain for shadowed areas most effectively for hiding.

I suggest, sure, but I do not care how silently it can navigate– it still stands out like a giraffe at a hippo celebration. They require to make it appear like a rock or something. Or– OR– make it look like it simply exploded and is now a smoldering piece of busted shit. I elect the 2nd one.

Thanks to Niknak and Boomsling, who agree robots shouldn’t be quiet, they ought to have sirens and flashing lights attached so they cannot sneak up on you.

Samsung is keeping its fans entertained during the lull between Christmas and New Years with a several announcements and teasers:  a CES 2013 Smart TV teaser video, a sneak peek at its Smart Hub, a content platform for Samsung Smart TV, and a new version of ChatON that turns its cross-platform messaging app into a social media network.

First ChatON gained traction in its efforts to render SMS obsolete. Now with ChatON 2.0, Samsung is positioning the service, available in over 200 countries in 60 languages, as a “micro” social networking platform where users can create personal profiles and post status updates for friends to comment on.

The new version also makes it easier to leave comments or content, including photos and videos, for friends in “the Trunk,” which Samsung describes as an alternative to, or at least a first-stop before sharing on Facebook and other social networks. ChatON 2.0 adds a multiscreen feature that makes it possible to chat up with up to five connected devices on a single account. Users can invite friends to ChatON conversations from different platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Weibo.

The new Smart Hub’s updated home screen allows users to simultaneously watch live broadcasts and movies while using apps and looking at personal photos. Samsung also said that in 2013, Smart Hub will offer a “more intuitive experience with various contents, live TV broadcasts, VOD, apps, Internet and such.” The “Flipping” function will allow users to flip through five screens like a book with Samsung’s motion control function.

What does Samsung want consumers to use the Smart Hub and ChatON 2.0 on? Presumably its Smart TV, which won’t be launched until CES in two weeks. But in the meantime, Samsung fans can get a sneak preview with this video Samsung posted today on its blog:

YouTube has been experimenting a whole lot with its appearance of late, but an intriguing new spin on its video clip player has actually really grabbed our eyes. By right clicking on any type of video clip on its pc website (control clicking for Mac users) and choosing “Pop Out,” you could see a minimalistic new user, and by then clicking on the “home” icon, a YouTube Trends option along with a column of brand-new icons. Up until now, those do not seem to operate, and we haven’t learnt through Google yet regarding whether this appearance presages something much more long-term for the website. Thinking about the means Mountain View’s been futzing lately with its “broadcast yourself” portal, do not get comfy simply yet.

The Pebble will certainly have the ability to connect using Bluetooth to your iOS or Android smartphone, and can easily be set to alert you of inbound emails, texts, calls, and additional alerts through an app. This isn ’ t automatically unmatched, but since the display makes use of e-paper modern technology, the battery lasts up to seven days– way longer than your typical LCD display would certainly.

He also displays a demo of e-mail, incoming phone calls, and the new music application. All appear to be fairly stunning and practical, however feel free of charge to verify that for yourself below.
