It replicates the movements of a human pretty spot on.</p><p>Video 2- The robot is copying the moves but is not as human like as the first robot shown, but still copying everything just as well.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Enlitic; Medical Decision Making AI</p><p><br/></p><p>This is an up-and-coming project for the medical field. It is an AI computing system that is essentially a computer add-on that doctors and nurses can have. This technology is used to diagnose and problem solve medical issues. </p><p><br/></p><p>This is done by evaluating and considering all past medical history. This program quickly diagnoses possible health issues, and assists the doctor is decision making and gives a full dialysis of possible health conditions. This is much better than modern technology as very often, doctors misdiagnose, or even cannot decide on a health disease/condition that is the cause of someone's suffering. I believe that this is not meant to replace workers, but assist them and help have more accurate diagnoses. </p><p><br/></p><p>Enlitic says "At Enlitic, we believe that the power of artificial intelligence can transform healthcare by enabling effective data management and improving clinical workflows." </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Handle: The Jumper </p><p><br/></p><p>Developed by Boston Dynamics, Handle is a robot that exceeds expectations and can do things other robots can't. It combines wheels with legs, allowing it to move at an impressive rate of 9 miles per hour. However, it gets its name from its ability to jump up to 1.2 metres in the air. It can also perform somersaults.</p><p><br/></p><p>Although its abilities are impressive, Handle: The Jumper isn't just for show. It can easily lift objects of over 100 pounds, and mixed with its mobility and navigation, it is a potential game-changer in working industries, and many predict that it will be seen in these areas in the coming years (ListVerse.Com). </p>]]></description>

Lawyers tend to be extremely pricey so an AI lawyer would cut down majorly on that cost. Another pro is that people may not want to hire a lawyer for a small legal matter and may just want legal advice quickly.</p><p>     Some cons are that it does not have the human understanding in these legal matters so it may not understand what the person is asking in the legal document. They may also not be able to spot if someone is being screwed over in the document because it can only spot physical mistakes. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Robotics and Automation in Surgical Procedures. </strong>By 2030, there will be a global shortage of 15 million health workers according to experts. While healthcare remains mostly people-driven, technology can assist health professionals in providing high quality care.&nbsp;</p><p>Medical professionals can now conduct surgical procedures with better precision, flexibility, and control with the help of Robotic-Assisted Surgery. RAS is typically associated with minimally invasive surgery, which includes smaller incisions and is less invasive. The benefits of MIS include reduced blood loss, minimized scarring, lower infection risks, and a quicker return to routine.&nbsp;</p><p>Robots are tireless and precise, capable of performing complex surgical procedures previously thought impossible.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Tesla Model 3 uses cameras and ultrasonic sensors and a radar to drive by itself. There are cameras above the rear license plate, on each door pillar, each front fender, and there are three on the front windshield. The ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers, and the radar is mounted behind the front bumper. It is also equipped with electronically assisted braking and streering systems. The cameras monitor the cars surroundings and detects other vehicles, pedestrians, road markings, and other obstacles like barriers and curbs. the car is also equipped with a cabin camera above the rear view mirror that monitors the drivers attentiveness. When in autopilot the driver is still responsible for being ready to take control of the vehicle at any time.</p>]]></description>

Connecting our brains to computers, we would be smarter and know more information.  </p><p>It could help diseases like Parkinson's, paralysis, and Alzheimer's. It may enable people with disabilities to communicate or control devices using only their thoughts. Additionally, it could enhance brain functions,  and provide new ways to interact with technology. There is surgical risks and safety concerns that also go along with the chip, there is also a risk of excessive bleeding and infection.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>James Webb Space Telescope</p><p><br></p><p>30 years and 10 billion dollars later, the James Webb space telescope was created and finally launched into space. In French Guiana, on the northern coast of South America, it was launched on Christmas day in 2021.</p><p><br></p><p>The telescope is 69.54ft x 46.46 ft and has a launch mass of 14,300lb with 2kW of power. The telescope had to be folded up in the rocket's fairing due to its 6.5 meter primary window and tennis court-sized sunshield.</p><p><br></p><p>After months of waiting for the telescope to send back photos, NASA received and released its first full color photo captured on July 12, 2022.</p><p><br></p><p>The Webb telescope is made to be able to look deep into space to see the earliest galaxies and stars that formed in the universe. Webb is able to give us views of objects that can be 100 times fainter than Hubble can see, due to its mirror being much wider. Hubble is their other older space telescope. This telescope was designed to see the period of time from when objects in the universe first began to form together.</p><p><br></p><p>Unfortunately, if something were to happen to the telescope and damage it very badly, it would not be able to return to Earth because of how far away it is, unlike Hubble, which has been repaired a few times already.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>
