FPE AUTOMATION TO HOST A HIGH-TECH AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS SEMINAR FOR INDUSTRY IN OTTAWA, IL | 2 In 1 Glass With Bezel Frame

"We are introducing a brand-new, lifelike material concept powered by its very own artificial metabolism. We are not making something that’s alive, but we are creating materials that are much more lifelike than have ever been seen before," said Dan Luo, professor of biological and environmental engineering.

In the United States, the pace of automation is slower with a density rate of 200. China is eager to expand its level of automation in the coming years, targeting a place in the world’s top-10 nations for robot density by 2020. It had a density rate of 25 units in 2013 and that grew to 97 by 2017. In 2017, China was already supplying 36 percent of the robots sold.

Man, oh man, dem bezels! Make that lack thereof. Dell continues to lead the charge on having the slimmest bezels possible, thanks to its InfinityEdge design. The top bezel is just a wee bit thicker than normal to accommodate the webcam, but not so much that you’d really notice.

HP is trying something different with its latest convertible laptop, and boldly claiming it’s “reinventing the PC.” While most laptops are housed in an aluminum or plastic chassis, HP’s Spectre Folio is wrapped in leather that morphs into different modes. That might sound like every other 2-in-1 on the market, but you only have to look at HP’s Spectre Folio to see it’s a little different.

Huawei is also launching new in-ear earbuds today. The FreeLace looks more or less like the BeatsX with a cord behind your neck. You can disconnect the cord and plug your wireless earphones directly into your smartphone to pair them — no Bluetooth pairing required.

Factories of the future will feature advanced technology, such as additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, data analytics and digital twins. While many manufacturers are still ramping up their Industry 4.0 initiatives, several assembly plants are already at the forefront. They are embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution and reaping the benefits.

Visitors will also be able to experience setting up, installing and programming a UR cobot at the UR Plug and Play solution workshop.

While the battery life on the 4K display model could be better, the Dell XPS 13 continues to be a top pick.

Between the two, the Realme X definitely takes the cake and manages to capture some truly fantastic-looking shots. In fact, the phone is a contender for the best camera smartphone in the budget mid-range segment.

Still, big screens are nothing special anymore. What really matters at this tier of phones is the quality of the screen. OnePlus nailed it on several important fronts.

There are two big changes between the oleophobic coating on this year’s iPhones and the past few generations. First, the iPhone XS and iPhone XR’s doesn’t wear down as fast, so it keeps repelling oil for much longer. But on the flip side, it’s also insanely easy to scratch — even if you’re the most careful smartphone user in the world, you’re definitely still going to get fine scratches on your phone’s screen. The only way to stop it is to get a screen protector, and we’ve got just the one. The TETHYS Glass Screen Protector for iPhone comes for all three 2018 iPhone models, and it covers the entire front of the phone to you don’t get those annoying edges. Best of all, it only costs $3.95!

Robots and other automation technologies have greatly increased productivity in today’s factories. However, they still have one major limitation: They require people to tell them what to do.
