Toyota sells Kirobo, a companion robot for the car
#Toyota has decided to produce and sell #Kirobo, a small "companion" #robot for drivers. In the last five years the car manufacturer has in fact invested around a billion dollars in studies on artificial intelligence and technology. The latest product will be Kirobo (which will be launched in January 2017), a robot designed to help drivers (and not just them). Kirobo will be sold directly in the brand's dealerships. The launch will take place first of all in Tokyo for almost 40 thousand yen (about 350… Read more
The app that allows you to see is coming
It's called Aipoly and it's an app that allows blind or partially sighted people to "see" what's around them. Aipoly is an artificial intelligence app that allows you to explore the world in a different way, through a technology that communicates what you are framing with a guiding voice, obviously thanks to the use of the smartphone camera. The app currently allows you to identify around 1.000 different objects and 900 colors in real time. Aipoly was presented for the first… Read more
Nail printers: does nail art retire?

Technical tests of 'replicator': here is the morphic table that transmits objects in real time
We are approaching the 'mimetic' era in which devices will not simply recognize our words, our actions, our objects but will begin to reproduce these things in three dimensions. The device that we show you in the video is the result of the work of Keiichi Matsuda, a Japanese architect and filmmaker who has been studying applications and installations based on the interaction between sensors and servomotors for years (in the photograph there is a frame of his previous work based on reality increased). This is a 'morphic' table... Read more
Make way for the Magic Finger
From the advent of touch screens onwards there has been a flourishing of mobile devices and tablets: our way of interacting with these devices has changed at an impressive speed. Today someone may mistakenly imagine that the 'finger-on-screen' scheme is the one on which the fortune of future technologies will be built, but it is not written anywhere: a prototype currently under study promises to let us use a device 'by touching ' any surface. Magic Finger is a joint project developed… Read more
