Most probably this is one of the innovative projects on KickStarter – a Mini Mobile Robotic printer that you can carry in your pocket. It is amazing because like many other mobile devices, it turns the until-now bulky printer into a sleek, small device.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) was a notion for lab researchers a decade or so ago. Today, each of us has a little part of AI in our handsets in the form of Siri, or Cortana or some other AI-based service. Stephen Hawking, the notable physicist, has now warned against the AI.
Bringing the satellites back to Earth, refueling them and again sending them into space is costly and a wastage of time. So NASA is developing a unique Robotic Satellite Refueling System that’ll help the agency refueling the aging satellites that were never meant to be refueled.
