The dog-robot Aibo of Sony devastates in the presale



This intelligent animal is capable of creating emotional connections with humans | It's an update that Sony launched in 1999 and costs 1,480 euros



   The domestic robot Aibo, an intelligent dog capable of creating emotional connections with humans launched today by the technological giant Sony, sold out all its stock during the early sale.

The first series of artificial pets has been delivered to their owners, after three rounds of pre-orders were exhausted last year, explained a spokesman for the company, who declined to disclose the number of units sold.

   The first 30 owners of the Aibo received their dog-robot at a special ceremony at the Sony headquarters in Tokyo, in which the company wanted to celebrate its return to the world of domestic robotics after 12 years.

Aibo, an update of the pioneering dog-robot that Sony launched on the market in 1999 , maintains the name of its predecessor, but incorporates the latest advances in robotics, including several sensors, a camera located on its nose and LED-like eyes, all of it to make their movements and expressions more natural.


   In addition to giving affection to their owners, the robot is able to learn new words, gestures and commands and respond to them through a system of artificial intelligence in the cloud, which will allow you to develop a unique personality, according to the Japanese company.

As for its appearance, the new Aibo has rounded shapes, expressive green eyes and brown ears and tail, a more natural image than its predecessors, silver-colored, and sharp angles.

The second round of sales will be made on the 14th through a raffle. The artificial mascot has a price of 198,000 yen (1,481 euros) , not including the 90,000 yen (673 euros) that users must pay every three years so that the robot can store knowledge in the cloud and thus develop their personality.

The Japanese company also plans to commercialize the robot internationally, confirmed the same spokesman, although it still has a scheduled date.

Artificial intelligence is able to pre-empt medical diagnoses

Artificial intelligence is able to pre-empt medical diagnoses The Alphabet project can predict when a patient will get worse Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and the US Department of Veterans work hand-in-hand to take the technology to the patients' rooms to monitor and monitor possible changes in the health status of the elderly. However, this union is not about electronic devices to monitor the heartbeat or to control blood pressure or tension, but both companies work on the deployment of DeepMind, the artificial intelligence of Alphabet. According to several medical studies, one out of ten deaths in hospitals occurs after obviating any change in the patient's health status. The Alphabet project and the US administration will analyze patterns of 700,000 anonymous medical records to see if Artificial Intelligence from DeepMind can identify which patients will get worse during admission to the hospital and find out their future doctor DeepMind and its engineers say that ...

The technology that will allow to save the Tables of Daimiel

The technology that will allow to save the Tables of Daimiel A project by WWF and Coca-Cola creates tools for saving millions of liters of water per year    Las Tablas de Daimiel is a wetland that spans more than 3,000 hectares of La Mancha. They once occupied ten times more territory, but the overexploitation of the water that nourishes this treasure of biodiversity has left them at a minimum. Cereal crops such as corn and barley, melons, eggplant orchards, onions and garlic and, of course, the vineyard of La Mancha still competes for water from the aquifer 23, a key part of the hydrological system of the Upper Basin of the Guadiana River and essential contribution for the Las Tablas wetland.     To reverse this situation, WWF and Coca-Cola launched the Mission Impossible project, which since 2012 seeks to return this immense bag of water of more than 5,500 square kilometers to a healthy state. Since then, the participating farms have saved around 2,500...
