Ryssland kan börja med reklam på sina raketer

För att få in deg till rymdprogrammet Ars Technica rapporterar att den ryska rymdmyndigheten Roscosmos nu har godkänt att ryska raketer och satelliter kan förses med reklam, något som man sannolikt gör för att få in mer pengar

Sammanhang: ...I ett uttalande skriver Roscosmos: "According to the amendments, Roscosmos has been granted the right, effective January 1, 2026, to place advertising on space objects owned by both the State Corporation itself and federally. The amendments will create a mechanism for attracting private investment in Russian space exploration and reduce the burden on the state budget." ...

Google lär robotar att sortera sopor och annat

Med hjälp av AI-modellen Gemini Robotics Google har visat upp en ny version av AI-modellen Gemini Robotics som ser ut att kunna göra robotar lite mer smarta och användbara. Med Gemini Robotics1.5

Sammanhang: ...Google skriver om ett exempel gällande sopsortering som robotar nu kan genomföra med den uppdaterade modellen av Gemini Robotics: "For example, if a robot was asked, “Based on my location, can you sort these objects into the correct compost, recycling and trash bins?" it would need to search for relevant local recycling guidelines on the internet, look at the objects in front of it and figure out how to sort them based on those rules — and then do all the steps needed to completely put them away." ...
