You like totally don't need a new iPhone. <div>You must enable Javascript to watch this video! </div> Video: David Sidorov, Jake Fertig and Alisa Stern Yes, there is a new iPhone, and we will hear all about it at today's Apple Event. But the one you have is most likely totally fine for your needs. In fact, it's a fascinating piece of technology and you probably haven't even scratched the surface of its potential. You rely on Siri and think she deserves a new house, but remember that she actually has no physical form and will not side with you during the inevitable robot uprising. In the Apple event that would happen in our alternative universe, we would realize that there are other ways to spend our money.

Technology. Subtitles. Spectrum: Skiing Robot Races Down Slope. Move over, humans. Here comes the skiing robot... Well, let's say the video above shows the robot's first runs on the slopes. This mechanical skier has been practicing, and it now can race downhill and even make turns to pass between gates, slalom-style. That's what Bojan Nemec from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia told a packed house at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) on Tuesday. Nemec said his goal is to design a robot skier capable of autonomous skiing using the carving technique.

(Apparently a robot can't ski using regular technique; it's too hard. But with carving, the skis practically ski themselves, according to Nemec.) This isn't the first skiing robot, but it's bigger and heavier than earlier Japanese models, Nemec explained in his talk. His robot can. Here's a video describing the project: The laptop control center plans the robot's trajectory, using a camera to measure its distance from the race gates. Can it stop?
