The disinfection robot combines two methods of UVC and chemical disinfection to help kill bacteria and reduce the spread of disease. The robot also has the ability to move flexibly, remotely or pre-programmed for a certain sterilization route. Le Anh Son, Deputy Director of Phenikaa Institute of Research and Technology (Phenikaa University), said that the robot is also capable of taking on tasks to support epidemic prevention and control in Bac Giang such as: Transporting necessities , monitoring sick and isolated people through monitoring cameras. Phenikaa University’s disinfection robot. The robot is fully self-propelled, avoiding collisions by using LiDAR technology, integrating artificial intelligence to recognize and remind people to wear masks, measure body temperature and a host of other superior features. . On the evening of June 2, the robot was put into operation for the first time. Before that, in the middle of May 2021 when the epidemic was complicated, students of Phenikaa University launched the campaign “Online learning – Show talent against the epidemic”. The students spent time and effort to create a droplet shield for medical staff, medical staff at hospitals, treatment facilities, and concentrated isolation. Up to this point, 10,000 droplet shields have been sent to more than 30 localities, of which more than half have been transferred to the epidemic center Bac Ninh, Bac Giang. High-tech products “make in Vietnam” such as: COVID-19 epidemiological information maps, disinfection robots, self-propelled robots, smart school solutions … or simply splash shields, orezol water These are all feelings of love and sharing from the collective staff, lecturers, scientists and students of Phenikaa University sent to the epidemic center.

Research conducted in conjunction with the Technology and Public Purpose Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, found that 53% of drivers surveyed felt less safe while riding. share the road with self-driving pickup trucks, and 47% feel less safe sharing the road with other self-driving vehicles. The AAA notes that 38 states and the District of Columbia have pilot projects testing self-driving cars. In California and Nevada particularly, this project is actively lobbied for. In fact, only 35% of survey respondents know that some states allow testing of self-driving cars on public roads. Additionally, 34% of those surveyed said they support self-driving pilot programs while 36% are against. Self-driving car test project is applied in many places in the US Of those opposed to the program, 77% said they were concerned about the safety of sharing the road with self-driving cars while 62% worried about who would be responsible for collisions with self-driving cars. . More than half also believe that the public needs to know the safest way to be on the road with self-driving test vehicles. The study also revealed that this problem could be overcome if self-driving test vehicles were easier to identify. In fact, 62% said they would feel safer if such vehicles were clearly marked. Meanwhile, 60% said they want a dedicated lane for self-driving cars. The AAA also recognizes that regulators should establish signs to make such vehicles easier to identify. Solutions have been put in place for self-driving cars to “integrate” into public transport

That means if the autonomous feature is needed, car owners can activate it and pay for it. Currently, any car connected to the internet can receive software updates, similar to electronic devices like smartphones. Even with just one software upgrade, the range of an electric vehicle can be dramatically increased. Existing platforms make Volkswagen’s head of sales and marketing Klaus Zellmer think the group can exploit that way of working to give customers more freedom in the use of their vehicles. Instead of letting customers choose the equipment, Volkswagen will assemble the car with everything but disable them with software. When there is a need to use it, customers spend more money to rent that feature under a monthly or yearly subscription package. To visualize, Zellmer used the example of Level 4 autonomous mode expected on VW vehicles in the future. As soon as this almost the highest self-driving feature is officially adopted and widely used, many people probably still do not believe it and do not use it. So they won’t have to spend money. As for car owners in need, Zellmer shared that they may need to pay about 7 euros, about $ 8.5, per hour to be able to use the level 4 autonomous feature.

According to experts from a California-based start-up company (USA), this electric multi-purpose self-propelled agricultural machine can help farmers transform green production more strongly because it is a completely electric-powered product. the world’s first. Monarch’s products are considered the “King of Agricultural Machines” to open up the process of green production transformation with unprecedented smart, high-tech and safety features. Photo: Designboom The advantage of the versatile agricultural machine designed by Monarch Tractor is that it is quite compact and programmed to perform different jobs such as plowing, harvesting, mowing and can operate in up to 10 hours after 5 hours of charging. According to Monarch experts, when each of their agricultural machines is powered by renewable electricity to replace the traditional older generation with diesel engines, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year – the equivalent of removing 14 gasoline-powered passenger cars from the road. Although this versatile agricultural machine does not require a driver, to comply with applicable US regulations it must have a person operating it remotely, receiving real-time warnings and being able to stop the vehicle. in necessary situations. The product is also equipped with sensors, which can remotely detect livestock and crops, and has a collision prevention system that allows it to work autonomously at the same time as farm workers. Several tech companies are also working on developing unmanned agricultural machines, including California-based Bear Flag, Illinois-based John Deere and Denmark’s Agrointelli, but Monarch is the first to offer the product. With nearly two decades of experience working in mobility and energy, Monarch Tractor startup founder and CEO Praveen Penmetsa says he captures the trend of how technology can shape an industry. “Looking at these two industries has helped me shape a pattern and the idea that global agriculture is also ready for transformation,” Mr. Penmetsa said. CNN Business. In addition, this versatile agricultural machine can also collect data during operation to provide farmers with information on crop health, long-term yield forecasts, and warnings about problems. problems such as leakage of irrigation water or degraded soil … After raising $20 million in March, Penmetsa and a team of more than 50 engineers at the company’s Livermore headquarters conducted a series of trials on farms in three states. Save labor and fuel It is expected that within the next two months, the company will officially offer the first agricultural machines to farmers in the states of California, Washington and Oregon with prices starting at $ 50,000. The Monarch company is hoping to start commercial production by the end of this year. Monarch’s versatile agricultural machine can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in labor and fuel costs, experts say. Monarch Tractor’s versatile agricultural machine is expected to be mass-produced from the end of this year. Photo: Agriland According to David Rose, associate professor of agricultural innovation at the University of Reading, farmers are under increasing pressure to manage to feed a growing population coupled with consumer demand for agricultural products. sustainable products, while they face labor shortages. “The whole society is asking farmers to overcome many challenges at the same time. I don’t think we look at our plates on the table three times a day and think about all the hardships farmers are facing,” Mr Rose said. According to Mr. Rose, at this stage, the most transformative feature of the Monarch farm machine is that it runs on electricity and the relief of gas-hungry, diesel-hungry equipment is amazing. However, what Monarch’s founder and CEO is most excited about is the prospect that farmers can use parameters and data in the production process to provide more transparency to customers. Mr. Penmetsa envisions that there will be a QR code on agro-food packaging that shoppers can scan to access information about how the product is made. “We want consumers to appreciate what farmers go through to get food to the table. If farmers can tell that story through data, I think we can create a direct bridge,” Penmetsa said.

Mayflower 400 is a 3-hull ship, weighing 9 tons, 15m long, equipped with a fully automatic navigation system, AI technology and mounted many solar panels. During this journey, the smart ship, covered with solar panels, will study marine pollution and analyze the plastic in the water, as well as monitor aquatic mammals. With 80% of the world under the ocean undiscovered, the Mayflower 400 will have a lot to do. This self-propelled vessel will collect information and data, especially useful for commercial ocean shipping. Brett Phaneuf, the creator of the Mayflower 400 project, believes that the ocean is the place with the strongest impact on the global climate, so investing in this environmental research will be of great help in the fight against climate change. Rosie Lickorish, a new technology expert at IBM, partner in the Mayflower 400 project, affirms that the unmanned ship will bring a great advantage for exploring unprecedented environments, especially distant seas. Many technology and service providers, hundreds of individuals from many countries such as India, Switzerland and the US have participated in this project. Initially, the project was estimated to cost about $ 1 million, but the cost increased by about 10 times. The non-profit venture will provide the data collected by the project at a completely free price. The information could be used specifically for the future of the commercial shipping industry. It is expected that the ship will depart on May 15 after being licensed by British officials, the destination is Plymouth, Massachusetts (USA). This is the journey that the first Mayflower in 1620 carried a group of pilgrims to find a new land – America. Mayflower 400 will make this itinerary in 3 weeks. While the Mayflower 400’s trip was delayed due to the pandemic, Phaneuf said at least no one would get sick during the trip. “No one will feel bored or tired or sick during this uninhabited journey. So the ship can do science for as long as you like, ”he said from British port. Meirwen Jenking-Rees, a 21-year-old engineering student, tested the ship’s engine before it went to sea trials. Manufacturing is automated from the robotic rudder to the solar-powered diesel generator in a year. Building an “intelligent captain”, artificial intelligence on board, takes even longer because computers have to learn to identify maritime obstacles by analyzing thousands of images. The Mayflower 400 must also be taught how to avoid a collision and set sail for the first time. Robot and software engineer Ollie Thompson says that, by running a number of “scripts”, the ship can learn “what is good action, what is bad, what is safe and what is not”. . So if it makes a mistake, the boat can repair itself and learn from experience. The automatic ship uses “eyes” and “ears” – a complex system of six cameras and radar – to continue self-study. Due to the lack of regulations surrounding the deployment of unmanned boats, the Mayflower 400 has yet to be tested in rough seas or storms, a situation Jenking-Rees describes as a “worst case scenario”. In the simulated settings, however, the smart boat was faced with waves as high as 50 meters. The boat’s artificial intelligence will play an important role in conducting scientific experiments, Lickorish explained. The group will monitor the ship 24/24 from the UK, ready to intervene remotely in case of danger.

The Boring Company tunnel is said to be the solution to solving the problem of traffic congestion in the future. The first tunnel about to open is nearly 1.3 km long with 3 stops, can carry 4,400 passengers per hour. Because the length of the tunnel is quite short, the speed of the Tesla operation will be limited to about 56-64 km / h and still have to have a driver behind the wheel, not activated in autonomous mode. It is expected that until the end of this year, Tesla electric cars will be allowed to use Autopilot mode when operating underneath the tunnel. The commissioning of the first underground tunnel system is clearly the important step forward for The Boring Company, to realize their ambition to revolutionize the way people move in the future. hybrid. When there are many active tunnels, a network of underground traffic will form. On the ground there will be stations to bring Tesla cars underground. Then, just turn on autonomous mode and the Tesla car can drive itself to the desired location below the tunnel and be brought back to the ground by the elevator.
