Burger Robot Startup Opens First Restaurant

By Innevation Center Blog, Robotics 0

Ceator’s transparent burger robot doesn’t grind your brisket and chuck steak into a gourmet patty until you order it. That’s just one way this startup, formerly known as Momentum Machines, wants to serve the world’s freshest cheeseburger for just $6. On June 27th, after eight years in development, Creator unveils its first robot restaurant before opening to the public in September. We got a sneak peek…err…taste.

A New AI Algorithm Can Track Your Movements Through A Wall

By Innevation Center AI News, Blog 0

For decades, prestigious scientists have been searching for a way to see through walls. And, in the past few years, they’ve succeeded — they created technology that uses WiFi to sense people through walls. Only, the signal it returns is really scant. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a new machine learning algorithm that not only detects people’s movements, it also models what they are actually doing. Fortunately for people who value the modest privacy walls provide, the

TechTalkTuesday: With Bees Scarce, A Drone Pollinates A New York Apple Orchard

By Innevation Center Blog, Tech Talk Tuesday 0

Gather ‘round! Let me tell you the story of Droney Appleseed. You see, in the 21st century, bee populations were dying off because everyone was using too many toxic pesticides. Farmers were starting to notice that the fuzzy little workers were starting to vanish because their crops weren’t getting pollinated. Boy, was everyone in a real pickle then! Thankfully, Droney Appleseed came to the rescue, flying over the farmland and spraying pollen wherever it went. OK, so, we’re

By Innevation Center Blog 0

Police departments in the US are using canines to sniff out thumb drives, phones, and other electronics. They train search dogs to associate food with locating the faint chemical smell of electronic devices, as detailed in this report by CNET. It’s a lesser-known use for the K-9 programs across the country. It was kept secret for years so that authorities could catch unsuspecting criminals without running into complications and so they could be sure the dogs weren’t

By Innevation Center Blog, Robotics, Uncategorized 0

The latest evidence for methane and other organic chemicals on Mars isn’t the smoking gun for life on Mars that some folks may have been hoping for, but it gives astrobiologists much more to go on. Readings gathered by NASA’s Curiosity rover show a seasonal cycle in the rise and fall of methane in Mars’ atmosphere, as well as conclusive evidence of organic molecules in drilled-out Martian rocks. The findings are laid out in this
