00:00Has your faithful phone ever disappointed you?
00:02More than once that you can not count?
00:04It always seems to be running out of battery at the worst moment.
00:07You forget to recharge it, or you find yourself squarely in an area where there is no service.
00:12And let's not forget how useless it can be in case of emergency.
00:16For example, during a tornado.
00:18When there is no signal.
00:20But do not be afraid.
00:21There is a great project called MeshTastic,
00:24which uses a wireless protocol allowing you to stay in touch with your friends.
00:28It's magic.
00:29A radio band called LoRa allows you to send encrypted messages.
00:33It works whatever the external conditions.
00:36And then each device acts like a relay that extends the range of messages.
00:40Perfect for the management of the sinister, or to keep an eye on your children.
00:43For less than $ 25, you can get a start-up kit and participate in the MeshTastic adventure.
00:51Add a GPS module and a battery, and you have your own private channel.
00:55Goodbye stress when your children are traveling.
00:58You can instantly know where they are.
01:01And if you feel brave, you can even send low-frequency audio data to the waves.
01:06I bet there are a lot of things your car can't do.
01:10Can it lean into corners?
01:12No.
01:13Can it adjust in width to park more easily?
01:16The answer, again, is no.
01:19So let me show you something.
01:22This little gem is called Trigo UV.
01:25And even if it looks like a future chick,
01:28it's actually a fully functional quadricycle, ready for use.
01:33Recently, a new fully autonomous delivery service was launched for fast food.
01:38No one else is involved in the delivery process.
01:42It's Flytrex, which has been delivering by drone since 2017,
01:46in collaboration with big names in distribution and food,
01:50to offer you fast and cheap deliveries.
01:53The company operates in North Carolina and Texas
01:57and plans to expand to all of the United States.
02:00Its goal is to make deliveries faster and cheaper.
02:04Your order can be delivered to you in five minutes,
02:07only after it has been prepared.
02:09Pretty fast.
02:10Flytrex has seen the number of its customers increase considerably
02:14and has even obtained authorization from the authorities
02:16to deliver by drone over long distances in 2023.
02:20In partnership with big brands like Unilever and Papa John's,
02:24the company is booming.
02:27The MonoCab Owl project aims to create a super cool monorail vehicle
02:32to move around in rural areas in a sustainable way.
02:35The MonoCab is a small autonomous monorail vehicle
02:38that balances on a normal rail without any additional support.
02:42Its unique design allows it to move on single-lane lines in both directions.
02:47Incredible mobility.
02:50A service that is much more exciting than your usual transport choices.
02:54And then you can bring life back to the abandoned railway lines in the countryside.
02:59After more than 150 sessions,
03:01most of the 61 volunteers declared that controlling three arms at a time
03:06was a child's play.
03:07They could do several things at a time,
03:10talk and look around them,
03:12while using their third arm.
03:15Look over here.
03:17Can you identify this strange object?
03:19It is a mobile solar container with foldable panels
03:22for a totally nomadic green energy.
03:25Just take out the panels, unfold them,
03:27and you can power your devices and installations in green energy,
03:31wherever you are.
03:33The solar container can be deployed up to 122 meters long
03:36when it is fully unfolded and has 240 solar panels.
03:41It is perfect for network and off-network use,
03:44such as rescue missions and outdoor events.
03:47And it only takes 5 hours to install it.
03:49A child's play.
03:51There is even an automatic conveyor system
03:53that folds and unfolds the panels easily.
03:56Just press a button to start enjoying the solar energy.
04:00SolarKant, the Austrian company that invented it,
04:04estimates that this mobile solar container can power about 32 homes.
04:10Virtual meetings are a thing of the past.
04:12Distant discussions are cool,
04:14but let's be realistic,
04:16they are not worth the face-to-face meetings.
04:18We can see each other, hear each other,
04:20but it's still pretty flat and 2D.
04:23But it's in the past.
04:24The HoloConnect holobox finally brings holograms to life.
04:27This great device allows you to project a natural-sized hologram
04:31thanks to a super cool box.
04:33Just plug it in,
04:34connect it to the Internet,
04:36and there you go.
04:38An operational hologram.
04:40You can even connect several boxes to present large objects,
04:44like cars or others.
04:46Holograms radically change the way we communicate from a distance.
04:51Imagine that you are talking to someone
04:53and you see them in 3D as if they were next to you.
04:56In addition, it adds a personal touch to presentations,
04:59training sessions,
05:01advertisements, and so on.
05:03What do you think?
05:05Is it cool or rather scary?
05:07Here is the latest creation of a team of engineers
05:10from the NASA and KBR's Hams Research Center.
05:13A robotic system capable of autonomously building structures
05:17using built-in blocks.
05:19Their article, published in Science Robotics,
05:22explains how these robots and these blocks come together
05:25to create amazing things.
05:28Designed for future lunar missions,
05:30these robots will be able to lay the foundations necessary
05:32for the construction of shelters before the arrival of astronauts.
05:35Three robots work together to transport and connect blocks
05:39to twisted edges,
05:41a bit like IKEA furniture.
05:43They have already built impressive structures,
05:46like a shelter made up of 256 blocks
05:49in just over 4 days.
05:51Imagine what they could do on the Moon.
05:55Discover the interactive sculpture Pearl,
05:57from BreakFast.
05:59It doesn't eat.
06:00It's just the name of the company.
06:02It is placed on a huge cruise ship called
06:06Icon of the Seas.
06:08This amazing creation mimics the vibrations of the ocean,
06:11with waves and shooting stars,
06:13each tile being placed in a well-ordered Fibonacci sequence.
06:17Thanks to real-time data from the Caribbean,
06:20this sculpture constantly changes to adapt to weather conditions
06:24and tides,
06:25and give life to the ocean before your eyes.
06:28This invention will not change your life.
06:31It is destined to nourish your soul.
06:34Have you heard of the Jetoptera startup,
06:36based in Seattle?
06:38It develops innovative vertical take-off and landing vehicles
06:41with propellant systems without propellers.
06:44Hello to silent, safe and fast urban flights.
06:47By 2050, 70% of the population will live in cities,
06:51which will translate into overcrowded streets.
06:53Jetoptera's propulsion system
06:55offers a solution with its air pressure technology,
06:58which allows smooth piloting.
07:01Jetoptera is also working on a high-speed adave
07:04for the US Air Force,
07:06and plans passenger transport prototypes by 2026.
07:10Really fascinating.
