To the week in tech. this week, apple announced the launch of a new work—out subscription programme called fitness+. it forms part of a bundle of services including news and arcade, now branded as apple 0ne. facebook unveiled a new version of its 0culus quest vr headset with more power and higher resolution. the new device also comes with a significant price drop. the entry—level version will be £100 deeper than its predecessor. and sony confirmed the price of the forthcoming playstation 5,...

Monitor for disease. they could even reveal eating habits and prevent overgrazing by inferring how much grass is left in their paddock and, depending on how the cows move, if they are in labour or if theyre being stolen by rustlers. weve developed algorithms that can actually detect when an animal is moving in a paddock, such that its being interfered with by somebody trying to muster it up to a set of yards to put it on a truck. researchers have also developed smart water pumps so troughs can b...

Specific behavious and, crucially, monitor for disease. they could even reveal eating habits and prevent overgrazing by inferring how much grass is left in their paddock and, depending on how the cows move, if they are in labour or if theyre being stolen by rustlers. weve developed algorithms that can actually detect when an animal is moving in a paddock, such that its being interfered with by somebody trying to muster it up to a set of yards to put it on a truck. researchers have also developed...

Properties can be measured in the square kilometre instead of a hectare an acre, so were dealing with thousands of animals spread over very large landscapes, and so you could be driving four hours every day, just to check on whether theres water in a trough, whether the fences are broken, and you may not even se an animal during that time, so if we can provide an automated way of getting them information, without leaving the homestead, thats a massive saving in time and labour. stud producer geo...

But have lots of interesting questions that need answered. and if it works, theres a whole galaxy of possibilities as to where axel could go next. and if you thought that was cool, i was lucky enough to be joined onstage by axel‘s little brother, puffer. its the pop—up flat—folding explorer robot. its fallen over on earth. its actually designed to take impacts like that. those balloons you saw is the material that these are made out of, that weve landed on mars before. 0k, wow, because thi...

Its real—world purpose is. this can take any instrument. this ones for a little micro imager, so we can do any science that youre looking to do wherever you want to go. these arent the only wheels we have for our two—wheeled robots. ok, so, if consumers were to buy one of these, because that is the aim, isnt it, what exactly would they be doing with it? well, we can do citizen science, so they can take them out into the field, they can have different sensors on them and then we can get huge ...

Fielded off world, so if we can establish that technology and gain confidence in that, now we can start looking at places like mars. theyre a little harder to get to but have lots of interesting questions that need answered. and if it works, theres a whole galaxy of possibilities as to where axel could go next. and if you thought that was cool, i was lucky enough to be joined onstage by axel‘s little brother, puffer. its the pop—up flat—folding explorer robot. its fallen over on earth. its...

0k, wow, because this looks pretty flimsy. yes, well, this is similar to a bullet—proof fabric. we take it and fold it up and that is that robot, and this origami shape takes the impacts very nicely. ok, so its tougher than it looks. now tell me what its real world purpose is. this can take any instrument. this ones for a little micro imager, so we can do any science that youre looking to do wherever you want to go. these arent the only wheels we have for our two—wheeled robots. ok, so, if c...

Well, this basically can take any instrument. this ones for a little macro imager. so, we can do any science that youre looking to do, wherever you want to go. these arent the only wheels we have for our two—wheel robots. ok, so, if consumers were to buy one of these — because that is the aim, isnt it? — what exactly would they be doing with it? well, we can do system science, so they can take them out into the field, they can have different sensors on them, and then we can get huge datase...

The chips which huawei use to run its products were manufactured by companies like taiwan—based tsmc. and tsmc uses some american software to help design and build the chips. so, under this new rule, tsmc cant make chips for huawei and carry on trading with the us. which means for many companies, its a choice between china and the us. the way chips are produced is very reliant on some tools and techniques that are owned by a very small number of american companies. and what the american govern...
