We've all seen the new trend of bezel less phones, only, with notches that many people hate and are wishing for a completely bezel less phone with no notch. Well, Samsung might have just answered your prayers with their notch less bezel less phone. Samsung recently did a presentation, and in that presentation, they talked about UPS (Under Panel Sensor). This means that all the sensors that you usually find on the top bezel or notch of your phone, (i.e. camera, light sensor, e.t.c.) will be imbedded in the screen. They also talked about on display fingerprint sensor. This tech isn't necessarily a new trend, but what's different is that Samsung will be using ultrasonic technology for the fingerprint sensor, which means it will be more secure. Next, they talked about SOD (Sound on Display). This means that there won't have to be a cut_out hole for the sound to come out from. They talked about HOD (Haptic on Display), for gami...
When we watch sci_fi movies (e.g; The Jetsons), many of us wish that the fiction become reality. However, with the steady advancement in science and technology, the future is getting closer and closer to becoming reality, and that also includes our homes. One aspect in which this has become true is in the building process. "Pre fabricated houses" are buildings built in factory along an assembly line just like cars. This method cuts the time of building from months to mere days! Another area is "energy consumption". Homes of the future will most likely be able to produce their own power from renewable energy sources, this means that they will be able to survive " black outs". Energy consumption in the home can be monitored and adjusted. The homes of the future will also be smart. Having smart lights and refrigerators and they all will be connected, so no need for a million remotes or apps and maybe, we might even have A.I. ass...
How do you think robots of the future will look like? It seems that they are becoming soft by the passing of time, literally! For example, this robot fish made by M.I.T that swims along side marine life. How do they work? Their main characteristics if these bots is that they are soft, made out of rubber, polymers and even fabric other than the traditional plastic, steel and aluminum. The moving parts like the "actuators" that usually use electric motors are replaced with hydraulics or pneumatics which pump compressed fluid through them making them move in a predictable manner. Others use shape memory alloys that coils and crawls when heat is applied to them, like this octopus robot from "Bio Robotics". Some have plans to even replace the actuators with actual " living muscles ". One of the reasons these new breed of robots are promising is because of their ability to adapt, which gives them a wide range of applications. They also help in...
