2021-10-11 09:11:00 Robot dog Boston Dynamics found a new job

Now she can guard data centers.

Novva Data Centers has a new member of the security team: WIRE, a customized version of Boston Dynamics' Spot Robot Dog. The company's experts have created a new security guard with a photographic memory and a keen sense of temperature.

WIRE welcomes people it recognizes. If the robot does not recognize a person on the object, it sends an alert to the central command post, marks the guest and his position, and also takes pictures of the stranger.

During the day, WIRE performs different missions in accordance with predetermined or random patterns of patrolling and behavior. If the robot suddenly loses connection with the center, it will automatically lie down or sit down until the connection is restored. In the future, dogs will open doors, carry loads and perform other tasks instead of humans. Open / Comment

The car company Hyundai and the British company Urban-Air Port have planned to create a network of flying taxis.

The companies plan to create a network of more than 200 flying taxis around the world in the next five years.
Transport will deliver passengers to any territory, not only in the city center. Taxis are charged using hydrogen fuel cells.

Earlier, AirCar conducted a 35-minute test flight between the airports in Nitra and Bratislava. The developed transport can turn into an airplane in 2 minutes 15 seconds, and then take off from a small runway. Open / Comment

2021-10-08 09:11:00 The European Commission proposes a single standard for charging smartphones

According to the EU representative, the solution will be environmentally friendly and more user-friendly. The format of the proposed standard is not specified. It is noteworthy that the creators of the bill believe that chargers should be sold separately from gadgets. Apple has been doing this since last year. However, the company is against the initiative.

According to Apple representatives, the bill will slow down the development of technology and provoke an increase in waste. It will also force the Cupertinians to abandon the Lighting connector, which is still used in the iPhone.

Recall that the European Union has been trying to introduce a single standard for charging since 2009. Open / Comment

2021-10-06 09:11:00 An electric car from a former Tesla employee traveled 836 km on a single charge

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has registered a new range record for electric vehicles - Lucid Air in the Dream Edition Range was able to travel 520 miles (about 836 kilometers) on a single charge.

This impressive result was achieved due to the low coefficient of air resistance (0.21) and special components of the power drive of our own design - inverters based on silicon carbide and a 900-volt battery with a capacity of 113 kilowatt-hours with a BMS control system, created using racing technologies. The output of the power plant is 946 horsepower.

Lucid founder Peter Rawlinson says this is purely technology, not huge batteries. Previously, he worked as an engineer at Tesla and took part in the creation of the longest-range Model S - its range is 396 miles (about 637.3 km). Open / Comment
