ROBODRINK: the Automatic Bartender from Technion

Technion students have developed ROBODRINK – a bartender that serves a variety of cocktails at the press of a button

Three students from the Technion Faculty of Computer Sciences have developed ROBODRINK, a robot for mixing alcoholic beverages. The robot was designed by Michal Friedman, Yoav Mizrahi and Zorik Gechman as part of an Arduino systems programming course, under the guidance of Prof. Yossi Gil, tutorial teachers Boris van Sosin and Marina Minkin, and Dr. Nir Levy, academic relations director at Microsoft.

Assoc. Prof. Shy Shoham and team from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering are researching a new approach to the artificial stimulation of blind retinas, developing devices that could bring more sight to the visually impaired. “Our work is at the interface of neuroscience and engineering,” he says. Shoham is pursuing the creation of external devices – such as goggles for the blind – that are able to remotely stimulate damaged sensory areas in order to restore the capacity of the brain to “see,” despite a damaged retina.

And then there was Quantum

PR1-2

SO WHAT IS QUANTUM ANYWAY?

Quantum is the Latin word for amount and, in modern understanding, means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property, such as energy or matter.

AND WHAT’S IT GOOD FOR?

Super-powerful computers, personalized medicine, entanglement enhanced microscopes, biological compasses, molecular imaging, uncrackable codes…

Our Quantum Future(s) Encryption, security, machine learning, medicine, all the way to inconceivable personal gadgets, could harness the power of quantum mechanics. The coming technological shift is set to be as momentous as the invention of the microprocessor. Continue reading And then there was Quantum
