HUMANOID ROBOTS

Humanoid robot is a robot that resembles humans in terms of physical features. AI plays a major role in deciphering commands, statements and questions asked to the humanoid and also random human ramblings at times. It also empowers them to give witty and sarcastic replies. Android refers to males and gynoid is the term for female robots.

Building a humanoid robot:

 A thorough study of human anatomy and understanding the behaviors of mimicking.

·         Determine the purpose of creating humanoid and listing tasks it needs to achieve.

·         Create an apparatus that resembles human parts and testing their functionality

·         Coding process

Five humanoid robots you must know:

·         Nadine:

Nadine, a customer service agent at AIA Singapore is a humanoid robot developed by Kokoro Japan with her software platform developed at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. She is well built-in with 3D depths cameras, a microphone, and a webcam. Along with responding to customers and greeting them, she can also converse in 6 different languages.

·         Sophia:

One of the most popular robots, Sophia is officially a citizen of Saudi Arabia. Resembling features of Audrey Hepburn, a famous Hollywood actress, Sophia has appearances in several shows. Mr Hanson of Hanson Robotics is her creator and believes that Sophia can successfully assist old and manage crowds in events. She uses Machine Perception to successfully interact with humans.

·         Erica:

Erica is a news anchor from japan developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro. She cannot walk but she is capable of interacting with humans and changing facial expressions with the conversation. Erica incorporates 15 inbuilt infrared sensors speech-generation algorithms, facial recognition technology, and forty-four degrees of freedom.

·         Jia Jia:

Jia Jia is created by a team from the University of Science and Technology of China. Jia Jia is known as the most beautiful woman in China. She is also known for her conversations with humans as she is successful in catching different gestures and emotions. She has speech-generation algorithms and facial recognition technology 

·         Junko Chihira:

A creation of Toshiba she is a tourist guide in japan successful in greeting and interacting with tourists in three languages. She derives this from speech synthesis technology and natural language processing inbuilt in her. Kanae Chihira, her advanced version can be trained to speak in any language

Pegasus Spyware: Flying Through The Air

 Hundreds of millions of people can't imagine life without their smartphones. Almost every aspect of their daily lives, from the most mundane to the most intimate, is within easy reach and hearing distance of their smartphones. Only few people realize that their phones may be used as surveillance devices, with someone hundreds of miles away secretly extracting their messages, photographs, and location while also activating their microphone and recording them in real time. Such capabilities are present in Pegasus, a spyware produced by NSO Group, an Israeli maker of mass surveillance weapons. What is Pegasus? Pegasus is a hacking software – or spyware – that is developed, marketed and licensed to governments around the world by the Israeli company NSO Group. It has the capability to infect billions of phones using either iOS or Android operating systems. The spyware is named after Pegasus, the white winged horse from Greek mythology. It is named so because it "flies through the...

Database Management in the Cloud Computing Era

Cloud Database Introduction- Cloud computing is the driving force behind many successful services, the reason being it offers businesses computing resources at scale. Database management can be an expensive and complicated operation, and many agile-minded teams aren’t satisfied with the slow progress of the database development process. That’s where cloud database management comes in. This guide outlines the basics of cloud database management and reveals how a cloud database management tool can help you achieve your desired goals. What’s Different About Cloud Database Management? Since Big Data arrived on the scene, database management has become more complicated and difficult. In addition to traditional, structured data like product intelligence and business contacts, we now have unstructured and semi-structured data, which is significantly harder to analyze. A significant amount of unstructured and semi-structured data comes from the mobile web. With more people around the world acc...

Unhackable Internet

  W hy it matters?   The internet is increasingly vulnerable to hacking; a quantum one would be unhackable. Quantum Computing    A quantum internet could be used to send unhackable messages, improve the accuracy of GPS, and enable cloud-based quantum computing. For more than twenty years, dreams of creating such a the quantum network have remained out of reach in large part because of the difficulty to send quantum signals across large distances without loss.   Now, Harvard and MIT researchers have found a way to correct for signal loss with a prototype quantum node that can catch, store and entangle bits of quantum information. The research is the missing link towards a practical quantum internet and a major step forward in the development of long-distance quantum networks.   The U.S Department of Energy (DoE) explains how a quantum link will make it happen through two quantum phenomenon: the first is quantum entanglement, where two-particle ...
