The best apps have a user interface (UI) that is unique and yet somehow familiar; intuitive and at the same time, alluring.
From the very moment a user starts the app launcher, through the overall course of using it, they should feel like they get reacquainted with an old friend.
The user understands what to do and how to behave while being excited to discover new depths of functionality. [Read more…] about UI/UX trends for 2021
Columbia engineers demonstrate that AI systems might reach higher performance if programmed with sound files of human language rather than with binary data labels. (See video below.)
The digital revolution is built on a foundation of invisible 1s and 0s called bits.
As decades pass, and more and more of the world’s information and knowledge morph into streams of 1s and 0s, the notion that computers prefer to “speak” in binary numbers is rarely questioned.
According to new research from Columbia Engineering, this could be about to change. [Read more…] about Deep learning networks prefer the human voice – just like we do
If you’ve not heard of or come across the Internet of Things (IoT), it’s time to immerse yourself in the future.
IoT has the potential to be limitless, and although that can be a scary prospect, it could open up a whole new world for us to experience. With technology advancing at such an exponential rate, where can we expect it to be in the next five years? [Read more…] about Internet of Things: 5 Predictions for 2025

Despite the fact that AI is already being utilised in a huge variety of ways by a myriad of industry, it’s still perceived as being an emergent technology, something of great promise yet to materialise. This couldn’t be further from reality.
These four examples of AI and machine learning have already been saving you time and effort for years at this point, but it’s only really in the last few years that they’ve become completely viable and effective. I mean, remember Siri when it first came out? Spectacularly hit and miss.
AI, along with machine learning, has made a massive number of things possible across industries, proving critical to many different tech platforms. 37% of organisations have been found to utilise AI in some form.

Smart homes are predicted to drive the demand for consumer robotics to 39 million shipments a year by 2024, according to analysis by ABI Research.
But a “disconnect between smart home and home robotics offerings has been a factor limiting home robotics adoption”. says ABI.
Pricing, availability, and consumer awareness have been factors too, but a new study finds that robot vendors increasingly see value in supporting the integration of their devices into smart home functionality.

It’s an exciting time to be a homeowner, but it can also be overwhelming. It seems every week there is a new smart home product on the market that can automate various aspects of your life, and it can be tough to decide which direction to go.
Like all new technology, there is a certain amount of risk involved. You don’t want to jump on something too early, only for it to be outdated and forgotten about a year later.
On the flip side, there is also that natural feeling of wanting to keep up with the trends in order to maximize your home value — not to mention take advantage of all of the cool features many of these devices have.
Here are six trends in smart home automation that are relatively safe bets for the foreseeable future. [Read more…] about Six new trends in home automation
Burger King recently decided to try something different to promote its classic Whopper. The fast food giant aired a commercial in which a Burger King employee who says he doesn’t have time to talk about all of the ingredients in a Whopper comes up with another way for customers to learn about its ingredients.
The employee leans into the camera and says “OK Google, what is the Whopper burger?” This activated Google’s smart speakers — Google Home, and that’s when people started having fun. The actual ingredient list, as published on Wikipedia, was edited with some items replaced with things like children, toe-nail clippings and rat — among other creative ingredients.
Google wasn’t in on the plan, which led to an interesting chain of events that exposed some of the weaknesses of virtual assistants and home automation. [Read more…] about How Burger King’s OK Google ad exposed flaws in home automation

A year ago we started tо work at a platform to be used as a basis for a simple robotic interface. Our task was to combine face and voice recognition with voice synthesis.
We began with a simpler task: voice synthesis, as this task is solved by many vendors. In 1984 Steve Jobs surprised everybody at his Macintosh presentation when the first Mac started speaking.
We did not have any problems with the selection of the speech synthesis modules. They all work well and have a wide choice of voices.
Finally, we used the standard Microsoft SAPI. This product with various language sets is distributed free of charge. [Read more…] about Endurance Robots launches fully roboticized open-source platform
