Top 7 des prochains films de Dieudonné, tant qu’on y est Dieudonné présente aujourd'hui (en "projection-test") son nouveau film. Métastases (voir la bande-annonce) traite d'un sujet difficile, le cancer, et semble être le prétexte pour aborder d'autres thèmes délicats comme le racisme. Après l'Antisémite, l'humoriste semble se spécialiser dans les sujets qui mettent mal à l'aise, du coup, on a un plein carton de projets sulfureux à lui proposer. Avec une filmographie pareille, Dieudo fera tous les ans le buzz. Mais pour les Césars, on ne garantit rien. Chérie, j'ai Congelé le Bébé "Suspens, quiproquos et infanticide, le cocktail gagnant de la comédie de la rentrée!" Et vous, vous allez le voir le nouveau Dieudonné ?

Defense Department Creates Robot That Outruns Olympian Usain Bolt Get Breaking News First Receive News, Politics, and Entertainment Headlines Each Morning. Sign Up WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Don’t blink. A robot created by the Department of Defense can now run faster than Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt. The Cheetah robot – developed by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency – broke its own land speed record of 18 mph Wednesday by going 28.3 mph in a 20-meter split. Bolt, who set the world record in the 100 meters with a 9.58 run in 2009, reached a peak speed of 27.78 mph during a 20-meter split in the World Athletics Championship. The video posted by DARPA on its website shows the Cheetah robot hitting the new “world-record” mark before losing its footing on the treadmill. The Cheetah robot, which is being developed and tested by Boston Dynamics, is looking to move from the treadmill to natural terrain next year in an effort for researchers can monitor its progress and refine algorithms.

Robot Skin Can Feel Touch, Sense Chemicals, and Soak Up Solar Power When you meet your robot overlord, it may be wearing super-intelligent skin designed by a Stanford researcher--a solar-powered, super-sensitive, chemical-sampling covering that makes your meatbag covering look pathetic. Zhenan Bao is behind the advances, and the recent development centers on a stretchable solar cell system that can expand and shrink along two different axes, making it perfect for incorporation into artificial skin for robots, human prosthetic limbs, or even clothing. Bao's earlier successes with artificial skin have resulted in a highly flexible and durable material, which is part of a flexible organic-chemistry transistor, built on a thin polymer layer. When the skin is subjected to pressure, the current flowing through the transistors is modified as tiny pyramid shapes molded into the polymer layer compress, resulting in a super-sensitive transducer that can apparently detect the pressure from a house-fly's feet.

Restore your own Ecce Homo! Robotic cheetah runs faster than Usain Bolt By Mark Prigg Published: 09:26 GMT, 6 September 2012 | Updated: 11:20 GMT, 6 September 2012 A robot cheetah has overtaken the fastest man on earth. The US Military funded 'cheetah' robot set a new record for legged robots by sprinting at 28.3 mph. Olympic champion Bolt's world record for the 100 metres saw him reach a speed of 27.8 mph in 2009. However, Bolt still has some advantages - the robot can only run in a straight line on a treadmill, and needs to be plugged into power at all times. Boston Dynamic's Cheetah robot has manged to run faster than Usain Bolt, hitting 28.3mph. To boost Cheetah's speed, Boston Dynamics 'refined the control algorithms that coordinate the robot's leg and back motions and increased the installed power.' However, the firm admits 'Bolt is still the superior athlete,' Dr. 'But our real goal is to create a robot that moves freely outdoors while it runs fast. 'We are building an outdoor version that we call WildCat, that should be ready for testing early next year.'

The Robot Hiring Boom Has Arrived The knock against many technology companies is they create too few jobs in their own countries. That complaint needs serious amending. Tech companies are creating plenty of jobs for robots. Foxconn, the leading manufacturer of electronics in the world -- which makes Apples iPhones and iPads, among other products -- plans to build 500,000 robots over the next three years to either replace or augment the company's human workforce. Foxconn currently supplements its 1.2 million human workers with 10,000 robots. It remains unclear exactly what the somewhat secretive Taiwanese-owned company's plans are for mixing human and robot labor, but humans almost certainly stand to lose jobs. In one regard, this investment will help the company's labor relations. The official response to the media sounded every bit as cynical. Watch: What's the Big Idea? This could be a step in the right direction from both a business and humanitarian perspective. What's the Significance? Watch here:

Ma vie (sexuelle) en gif Fantastique. (Source: morganajamaisdit) Robotic “cheetah” sets new speed record The fastest robot ever, dubbed "Cheetah," just zoomed past its own speed record and surpassed the fastest known human dash, clocking 28.3 mph during a treadmill test. Cheetah's previous record speed was 18 mph, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the military's research-and-development arm. Usain Bolt set the world record for human speed when he reached 27.28 mph for a 20-meter split during a 100-meter sprint, according to the International Association of Athletics Federations. While reveling in the record, the research agency threw Bolt a bone, admitting the Cheetah had a slight advantage as it ran on a treadmill. The agency has worked with Boston Dynamics on the Cheetah to create legged robots that "don't sacrifice speed for mobility on rough terrain," it said. The high-speed running bot will be tested on natural terrain next year. If Cheetah the bot, however, were to meet the animal it was designed after, there is no question which would win in a race.

pommegranny: Non mais OK Google Maps, OK,... Boston Dynamics' Cheetah Robot Now Faster than Fastest Human Boston Dynamics' Cheetah robot has just set a new record for legged robots by sprinting at 28.3 mph. This, incidentally, is also faster than Olympic (human) champion Usain Bolt, who set the world record for the 100 meter dash with a speed of 27.8 mph back in 2009. Yes, this means that now there is officially no escape from a robot cheetah on a treadmill. You've been warned. To boost Cheetah's speed, Boston Dynamics "refined the control algorithms that coordinate the robot's leg and back motions and increased the installed power." Cheetah, of course, is not running outdoors, where it would have to deal with wind resistance. This robot will be untethered (looks like it's probably powered by a gasoline engine like AlphaDog) and it will also be able to, you know, turn. [ Boston Dynamics Cheetah ]

Top 12 des « classiques » version Arabie Saoudite, sans femme donc (on est mieux là non ?) Quand on bosse chez Ikea, l'important c'est de s'adapter à la culture locale. Alors quand on veut vendre du canapé "Ikkergdün" en Arabie Saoudite, on vire les femmes du catalogue, comme ça c'est plus clair. Le faire sur une pub c'est bien, mais on pense qu'il faudrait aller beaucoup plus loin. Il y a tellement de femmes qui trainent à droite à gauche dans les films et les pubs qui sont autant de pollution visuelle.

DARPA and Boston Dynamics create another terrifying robot Move over Big Dog — the Cheetah robot has just outpaced Usain Bolt. Cheetah in action.(Credit: DARPA) Previously, we'd assumed that Big Dog was the most terrifying robot we'd seen — strutting its way through the uncanny valley of movement. Well, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) main mission to usher in the final days for mammalian life has gained a burst of speed, thanks to Cheetah, another robot being developed under the Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program by Boston Dynamics. Cheetah has been clocked at a maximum speed of 28.3mph, or 45.5km/h. Cheetah has a little way to go before it lives up to its namesake, of course — real cheetahs have been clocked at over 96km/h.

09/05 DARPA’s Cheetah Robot Bolts Past the Competition September 05, 2012 Inspired by nature, engineered by man, Cheetah hits 28.3 mph DARPA’s Cheetah robot—already the fastest legged robot in history—just broke its own land speed record of 18 miles per hour (mph). In the process, Cheetah also surpassed another very fast mover: Usain Bolt. To contribute to emergency response, humanitarian assistance and other defense missions, a robot needs to negotiate difficult terrain. Cheetah is being developed and tested under DARPA’s Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program by Boston Dynamics. “Modeling the robot after a cheetah is evocative and inspiring, but our goal is not to copy nature.
