Facebook's Meta Rebranding
On October 28, Facebook's rebranding to Meta, aimed at establishing the company's stronghold in the Web3 sector, marked a year. Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), CEO of the FTX crypto exchange, seized the opportunity to share his thoughts on Facebook's massive overhaul. The crypto tycoon has claimed that Meta's growth has stalled since the rebranding because the social networking giant "has no more room to grow." SBF claims that Meta's attempt to distrac
Xiaomi's CyberOne Robot
As the newest member of Xiaomi's Cyber series, joining last year's quadruped robot Cyberdog, CyberOne is fitted with advanced arms and legs, supports bipedal-motion posture balancing, and reaches a peak torque of up to 300Nm. Also demonstrated was the ability to detect human emotion, advanced vision capabilities, and functionality allowing it to create three-dimensional virtual reconstructions of the real world, alongside a host of other advanced technologies.
Apple’s AR/VR headset
Apple’s in game once more to compete with the best. This time, they want to be the best in the market for VR headsets. The AR/VR headset is not yet officially launched by Apple but we can see that TimCook, the CEO of Apple in his recent interview with China Daily USA, gave us a sneak peak to what could be the marketing strategy of this one of a kind headset.
Taking bionic parts to a whole new level!
How far can we go when it comes to experimenting with bionic parts? For those who don’t know what bionic parts are, they are the replacement and enhancement of organs in the body. This is done by replacing the parts with mechanical versions. They are so much different from prostheses because the bionic parts are much more accurate in mimicking the actual function of the body.
Kawasaki shows off the robot Capricorn Bex
Robots that you can ride are quite rare, but now Kawasaki, the Japanese company that manufactures motorcycles, engines and defense materials, has shown one. The robot is called Bex and was shown at last week’s 2022 International Robot Exhibition (iREX) in Tokyo.
Smallest Robot Ever
Have you heard of the smallest robot ever? Engineers from North Western University have created a remote-controlled walking robot that's regarded as the smallest ever robot. It is just a half-millimeter and looks like an adorable peekytoe crab. Although the research is in the paper and discussion, researchers believe that this could be a great start to exploring the possibilities of micro-sized robots that can be used to perform practical tasks inside a confined environment.
The smart lens of the future is here.
Something like this would have only been seen in movies, but how incredible is it to realize that it is now a reality? Assume you're preparing to give a speech and, instead of glancing down at your notes on the podium, you can see them right in front of you. It sounds too wonderful to be true, yet it is already a reality.
Scientists craft original human skins for robots
This may seem like science fiction, yet it is happening right now in the world of science and technology. From action heroes to villains, we all want to see our robots become more human-like, and scientists in Japan are working to duplicate human-like traits for robots without the use of artificial parts, such as real-skin or self-healing functions.
Innovative 3D-Printing Technology
Say hello to a revolutionary new method of 3D printing glass. Yes, you read that right. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley collaborated with experts at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in Germany to develop CAL, a 3D printing technology. This was created three years ago and is currently being developed into what they call micro-CAL. We can print considerably finer details in glass using micro-CAL technology.

New FAA Rules Clear Delivery Drones for Takeoff
Final rules governing unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, were released Monday by the Federal Aviation Administration, a move expected to open the door for delivery of consumer packages by air.
The rules establish minimum standards for safety so drones can fly over populated areas and at night, under certain conditions.
According to an FAA statement, the rules come at a time when drones represent the fastest-growing segment in the entire transportation sector. Currently there are more than 1.7 million drone registrations and 203,000 FAA-certificated remote pilots, the agency stated.
"These final rules carefully address safety, security and privacy concerns while advancing opportunities for innovation and utilization of drone technology," U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao said in the statement.
A cornerstone of the new rules is a requirement that drones flying over populated areas include remote identification.
"Remote ID is essential to identify the location, altitude, velocity, flight path, and performance characteristics of unmanned drones in public or any airspace," explained L. Nicole France, a principal analyst and vice president at Constellation Research.
"That airspace awareness ensures safe operation for other aircraft and people on the ground," she told TechNewsWorld. "It ensures that the FAA, including air traffic control, national security agencies, and local law enforcement can also distinguish compliant aircraft and operations from those that may be dangerous or illegal."
Machine Learning Is Changing the Future of Software Testing
The majority of software development teams believe they don't test well. They understand that the effect of quality defects is substantial, and they invest heavily in quality assurance, but they still aren't getting the results they want. This is not due to a lack of talent or effort -- the technology supporting software testing is simply not effective. The industry has been underserved.
