The Smart Vision EQ has no pedals and no steering wheel. It looks very much at home prowling the streets of Tokyo.

Sophia, the robot designed by Hong Kong-based AI robotics company Hanston Robotics, has been granted citizenship by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It's the first time a robot was given such a distinction, which fuels the "robot rights" debate.

Interesting numbers. China, USA and India are leading the pack.

It will be interesting to see how this develops. How technologists and urbanists go along this project.

"One of the biggest issues is the safety of solely relying on computers to operate ships over vast ocean distances. Some think that autonomous ships would have fewer accidents because the majority of maritime accidents involve collisions or groundings, caused by humans"

Cyborg bacteria covered in tiny solar panels can beat plants at photosynthesis, which means they could be key in creating renewable solar fuels. The bacteria ended up having 80 percent efficiency, compared to about 2 percent for plants.

"Cyborg bacteria covered in tiny solar panels can beat plants at photosynthesis, which means they could be key in creating renewable solar fuels.

Photosynthesis, or the way plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, is crucial for life on Earth — but it’s not a very efficient process. Scientists at a UC Berkeley lab taught bacteria how to cover their own bodies with nanocrystals, which function as tiny solar panels that capture more energy than plants can. The bacteria ended up having 80 percent efficiency, compared to about 2 percent for plants. This form of artificial photosynthesis is a big step toward developing more efficient fuels that generate renewable energy using sunlight. (The results were presented at the 54th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.)..."

Very interesting research about the use of polymers on rechargeable batteries. This could lower the battery cost, increase safety and start a new ball game on battery storage.
