A new employee is being created by Uber who is know for its private transportation network we’re talking about a robot that has some resemblance to R2D2 and has the function of monitoring vehicles at a parking lot in San Francisco, California. The K5 robot belongs to the Knightscope startup in Silicon Valley. It has a 360 degree view and facial recognition. In addition, it can scan 1,500 patents per minute and notify authorities automatically if tit sees something suspicious. It also uses lasers and a geolocation system to navigate and avoid obstacles.
“Think of the K5 as an advanced anomaly detection device,” Stacy Dean Stephens, manufacturing company Knightscope’s vice president of marketing and sales, tells Digital Trends. “It patrols within a geofenced area using its sensors to alert security professionals of potential threats. Each machine has 360-degree high definition video for both day and low light; thermal imaging; two-way audio with public address, intercom and broadcast; license plate recognition; and people detection — to name a few [of its attributes].”

This is what the the processor created by Google looks like that is being used to develop an artificial intelligence platform.
Google I/O 2016 is already underway, it will be three days in which all kinds of workshops and lectures for developers will take place.
This year there is a common theme in virtually everything presented: the importance of artificial intelligence that will happen in on our future. Not in the sense of replacing the tasks we humans perform, but help us in our day to day, while the machines are becoming more and more intelligent, learning for themselves.
Tensor Processing Unit, the heart that machines use for learning
On paper this looks very nice, but hardware is needed to achieve it, and Google does. This Google TPU processor, named “Tensor Processing Unit,” is an integrated circuit tailored specifically created for the “learning machine”.
In addition, the TPU has been adapted to work with TensorFlow, which is a library of open source software for the development of artificial intelligence in machines that anyone can access from Google’s code.
This piece is adapted to machine learning applications, is able to perform more operations per second than traditional hardware using equal consumed energy, it can prioritize tasks and learn from failures to automatically correct on these actions. The most interesting is that this is not a theoretical project, Google has kept secret already more than a year using it in different services and projects. They have been using TPU in their data centers and is part of projects like RankBrain, Street View or to improve the accuracy of maps via Maps and navigation.
Google has made it clear they want to lead the development of learning machines and artificial intelligence. TPU is another step and most likely will end up licensing its technology to other companies. Skynet anyone say?

Ever seen futuristic movies ?
Sony is working on creating contact lenses that also act as recording devices, neat eh?

New 32″ HP Pavilion monitor offers a glimpse into the world of 2K resolution
HP has introduced its Pavilion 32 display (V1M69A), which promises to combine large size, QHD resolution, VA panel and affordability. The Pavilion 32 monitor may not appeal to professionals or hardcore gamers, but for mainstream users this one could be a game changer because of its price-point. The monitor will hit the market late next month as a part of HP’s back-to-school product refresh.
Starting this June 26th, HP will like you to dive into the 2K world, for the nerds that is QHD also known as 2560×1440 pixels. The HP Pavilion 32 will go on sale for $400 dollars a very reasonable price for those who are still stuck at 1080P.
As mentioned this monitor offers 2560×1440 resolution, however it also offers 300 cd/m2 brightness, 3000:1 static contrast ratio. The 60 Hz refresh rate will be enough for most users but if you’re into PC games you may need at least 144Hz.
China’s new attack robot fires electric volts
We’ve all see Terminator right ? Remember Skynet, the killer robots? Well as it turns out China may be heading towards building an army of “killer” robots to fight terror. As Techspot reports [via], the Chinese may also be building certain attack robots that can fire actual weapons and grenade launchers, this is nuts!
In what appears to be the first step toward machines rising up and overthrowing their human masters, China has unveiled a robot soldier designed to control rioters and protesters – using electric shocks if necessary. And yes, it does look like a Doctor Who Dalek.
Revealed last week at the 12th Chongqing Hi-Tech Fair, the AnBot was designed and built by the National Defense University as a way to deal with terrorism and unrest in the country.
The robot measures just under five feet and weighs around 171 pounds. It has a top speed of 11 miles per hour and is equipped with a range of sensors that it uses to identify objects and dangers. While its “electrically charged riot control tool” sounds terrifying, the AnBot is also designed to help people; it has an “SOS” button that citizens can press to alert local police in the event of an emergency. But it seems not everyone is a fan:
The robot’s sensors are said to mimic the human brain, eyes, and ears. It’s capable of eight hours continuous work, and while it does patrol autonomously, it can be controlled remotely should a dangerous situation arise – which is good, as allowing an AI to decide when it should electrocute a person probably isn’t a good idea.
China is the world’s largest market for industrial robots. Last year at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, a Chinese firm revealed a trio of ‘attack robots,’ including one model that carries rifles and a grenade launcher, that are designed to help in the fight against “global terror.”
