Humans have actually done a pretty amazing job when it comes to making some incredible advances in technology. You can actually see for yourself the astounding advances that humans have had in technology. I am actually talking about the advances in machine learning, the machines in hospitals that save lives, the rockets that take us to space and other planets, the powerful phones in our pockets, the many machines that make our lives so much easier. Technology and the tools that it has been known to create are all rapidly evolving and also shifting the way that the world operates and especially in the realm of business. Technology can actually change very swiftly, and there have been so many leaps when it comes to efficiency, and so many of us can access these advances.

Professionals actually have a front-row seat for the lightning-fast evolution, and these people are also the first ones who would get to know about potentially game-changing developments. They are also the ones that are best positioned when it comes to knowing what new technology is out there and what is notable.

Here are some of the latest advances that are making headlines. Some of them are actually ones that should have been swapped with flying cars and properly successful nuclear fusion, but hey, we can’t always get what we want.

• Artificial intelligence would be one of the most significant impacts on the future. This will actually get so huge that it can replace some humans on some missions that should not be lead by humans because of risks. For example, it would be better to send space crafts with AI that knows what to do, rather than send living humans in it. AI is already being used to optimize customer service and calendars and also to streamline the processes, but you should know that it is just the beginning. It will get smarter, and it is only a matter of time being it starts being sentient.
• Machine learning is the next big thing that we should certainly be proud about. The availability and also the continual improvement of free and open-source machine learning have been really helpful to a lot of people.

• Virtual Reality (VR) has actually come a long way since it was initially introduced. It is no longer for just games, and many companies are actually using it for much more useful things; I am talking about real-world applications.
• Facial recognition is something that is actually present in almost every single iPhone that is selling right now. This would help you because it will secure your device very well. It will serve you well.

The challenge that the team had to face during the race was the high temperature at the race location. This causes the robot components, especially servo, to heat easily and requires the team to recalibrate so that the robot can compete well. “Environmental temperature is a major challenge for us. Hot ambient temperature is very influential on the robot, especially on the constituent components of the robot. In addition to the temperature, the thing that is a challenge in itself is the difficulty of communication between teams when competing because of very noisy sponsors. “Said Arief, head of the robot team.

Arif hopes that in the future UNY will be more successful in the Indonesian Robot Contest because UNY’s ability is not inferior to other university robot teams, especially if it is balanced with further research and development, especially with the easier access to information through various sources.
