Hi-tech Russian robot exposed as man in costume
Footage of an artificial intelligence robot that Russian state television used as an example of the country's technological prowess has been exposed as a man wearing a robot suit. The Rossiya 24 news channel broadcast footage of what it presented as Boris the dancing, singing robot at a technology forum for school pupils. But viewers and other journalists spotted some human-like movements and other discrepancies - and discovered Boris was in fact a human wearing a robot costume sold by a Russian company.

British gallery owner Aidan Meller hopes to go some way towards answering that question with Ai-Da, who her makers say will be able to draw people from sight with a pencil in her bionic hand.
Meller is overseeing the final stages of her construction by engineers at Cornwall-based Engineered Arts.
He calls Ai-Da - named after British mathematician and computer pioneer Ada Lovelace - the world's first "AI ultra-realistic robot artist", and his ambition is for her to perform like her human equivalents.

"But also as a performance artist she'll be able to engage with audiences and actually get messages across; asking those questions about technology today."

Meet LarvalBot, the little robot trying to bring the Great Barrier Reef back to life
A few years ago, a claim supposedly made by scientists stated the Great Barrier Reef, one of Australia’s most cherished natural wonders, was in fact ‘officially’ dead. Now, while this sweeping comment has since been debunked as not entirely true, it did raise awareness surrounding the reef’s current state of health, which is far from rosy. Thanks to the effects of climate change, the reef is suffering from unprecedented levels of coral bleaching, which causes the reef to resemble something closer to a ghost town than a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life.

Her skeletal robotic head may stand disembodied on a workbench, but her movements are very much alive.
Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human features - she will make eye contact and follow you around the room, opening and closing her mouth as you do. Get too close and she'll back away, blinking, as if in shock.
Ai-Da's makers say she will have a "RoboThespian" body with expressive movements and she will talk and answer questions.
"There's AI (artificial intelligence) running in the computer vision that allows the robot to track faces to recognize facial features and to mimic your expression," said Marcus Hold, Design & Production Engineer at Engineered Arts.
Ai-Da's makers are using "Mesmer" life-like robot technology for her head, and once finished she will have a mixed race appearance with long dark hair, silicone skin and 3D printed teeth and gums.
"(Mesmer) brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package," Hold said.
Ai-Da will present her inaugural exhibition "Unsecured Futures" in May at the University of Oxford, and her sketches will go on display in London in November.
