Interesting to see where this leads to. If these robots boss work in a network mode communicating between them this will be a game changer inthe working place.

Meet the New Boss: The World’s First Artificial-Intelligence Manager?

'Last week, the Japanese multinational conglomerate Hitachi quietly issued an intriguing announcement. Apparently, the company has appointed its first AI boss.

Well, kinda-sorta. The announcement details a new initiative in which artificial intelligence (AI) technology is being used to determine workflows and employee duties in real time. Specifically, an AI “boss” was put in charge of a warehouse management system, where it managed to effect an 8 percent increase in efficiency among its human servants workers.'

A small robot rides a bike like a boss. Probable in the future the little robot will try to participate in the Tour de France 😊

Amazing, fuell cells are going many places. How they manage to do it inside a mobile phone is amazing.

Monsaraz. Close to Alqueva, Portugal. Clear weather, 37.5°C. Hot and dry. Going to get a cold beer.

Very interesting use of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in transport systems. This solution for commuter trains in Europe uses Fuel cells eliminating the need for overhead lines. This solution would also be great in developing countries, where trains are Diesel and lines not electrified, reducing the polution levels.

NO MORE AERIAL POWER LINES ON RAILWAYS

Look: if you bring the power generator with you, you don't need to grab electricity from a flying wire.
No longer line losses, no more poles spoiling countryside, just hydrogen refill dispensers on the way, to keep running...

We here have another confirmation that #Fuelcells  and #FCEV  are  nicely spreading the transportation systems, including #railways .
And from these we'll switch to home, commercial and industrial users.

How Groningen invented a cycling template for cities all over the world

Motorists woke up one mid-70s morning to find new one-way streets made direct crosstown journeys impossible by car. Forty years later Groningen boasts two-thirds of all trips made by bike … and the cleanest air of any big Dutch city.

Traffic lights with rain sensors to give quicker priority to cyclists on wet days … Heated cycle paths so cyclists won’t slip during bouts of frost … This might sound like science fiction to you, but in the Dutch city of Groningen it will soon be everyday reality.

The inhabitants of this lively northern university city regard their homestead as the cycling capital of the Netherlands. They might very well be right: 61% of all trips in Groningen are made by bicycle, rising to more than 70% for trips made to educational institutions.

You might think the city authorities would be satisfied with these statistics. But apparently it’s not enough, and new plans are in the pipeline to push cycling even more.

Now how is this for an unusual politician.... how many politicians travel to work by bicycle:
“The bike is the number-one mode of transport in the centre of Groningen,” says local politician Paul de Rook, who rides his bicycle daily to the city hall, “but we have to make an effort to keep it that way, because our population is growing and public space is severely under pressure. We want cycling to really become part of our local pride.”

Interesting idea on a possibility that in the future AI could evolve to a different set of values and concepts we have.

In Europe, fuel cell technology is developing in new ways. CGH2 owrking under the 700 bar and CCH2 under 350 bar. It is important to have a standard across Europe for mass deployment. Other field of application is forenergy storage for the surplus eletricity from renewable energy. This technology complemented with battery energy storage could provide interesting solutions for green energy

After Hunday and Toyota,now also BMW rolls out its Fuel Cell powered car.
Though that, as automotive OEMs start investing in research in this specific source, systems' prices will shortly fall down, the hydrogen storage power will become the real 4th revolution in energy.
I suggest to keep eyes on.

Very interesting article on AI and the possible merge of biological intelligence (people) with AI. This might not be so far fetched as some will think.

The Strange Future of Hybrid Thinking, According to Google’s Director of Engineering

Will human brains and technology merge within the next 30 years? One prominent thinker says so

Ray Kurzweil is a fascinating man. He's an author, a computer scientist, an inventor, and he's currently serving as a Director of Engineering at Google. That's a big position for anyone to fill, seeing that Google has been on the forefront of developing new technologies since 1999.

The tangible achievements and developments led by Kurzweil, such as the voice-recognition technology responsible for enabling Google Now to process your spoken requests, are impressive and innumerable, but it's Kurzweil's futurist predictions that have heads truly spinning
