CES 2018: Laundry folding robot, bigger and rollable TVs, and Nokia sleep
In this episode, we take a look at CES 2018, the biggest tech show in the world. Hear about autonomous cars, taxis, Samsung’s Wall TV, Razar’s laptop dock and FoldiMate’s laundry folding robot and more.
Show Notes:
- Fisker’s new luxury EMotion electric sedan is coming in 2020 with futuristic butterfly doors that open upwards at an angle.
- Bell Helicopter is looking to bring us autonomous air taxis. Uber is partnering with Bell to help develop the project for launch sometime in the 2020s.
- Samsung’s "The Wall" 4K TV is one of the largest (if not the biggest) TVs unveiled at CES 2018.
- LG is showing off its eye-popping 65-inch rollable 4K OLED TV.
- 50-qubit quantum computer that is capable of processing more calculations and could be a game-changer for AI and machine-learning.
- FoldiMate laundry folding robot
- Nokia has announced the Nokia Sleep, a bed sensor that sits under your mattress to provide you with data while you sleep
- Fingerprint sensor under the display.
Tech Bytes:
Scientists at Harvard University recently unveiled a metalens that has the potential to shrink the size of any device that uses a camera while at the same time improving performance.
While traditional lenses are made from glass, metalenses use a flat surface peppered with nanostructures to focus light. One problem with metalenses has been their inability to focus the full spectrum of light.
That's not the case anymore, however, as a team at Harvard's Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a metalens that can focus the entire visible spectrum of light -- including white light -- at a focal point, with high resolution.
This means that lens will be thinner making future phones and other devices much thinner.
One of America's largest retirement villages will have a fleet of self-driving taxis introduced next year.
US firm Voyage said it will start rolling out the service at The Villages, Florida which is home to 125,000 senior residents.
It said the scheme, spanning 750 miles of road, would be the "largest by area size" in the world.
Facebook is testing a new feature in its app where it will have city-specific local news, events and announcements available on its platform.
The test is currently live for a new section called 'Today In' in six US cities.
