The title of my juice carton is Apple Bomb and the flavor is obviously apple. On my cover I have a little apple character saying try it love it its good and healthy for you.

Company Making Robots That Looks Like Human

A Russian manufacturing company has released a scheme to mass produce life like robots.
The design is called a Robo-C because they are designed to be used as a companion. The company that makes these robots is called Promobot. It plans to use the robots as personal assistance and companions and hopes they will be able to be used for educational purposes. The Robo-C has a neck and torso and can look like any person on this earth. Very soon people will be able to order a robot with any appearance for professional or personal use. The robot is not able to walk but is able to copy human expression, move its eyes, eyebrows and muscles. It can also hold a conversation. The robot has over 600 facial expressions and will be able to communicate and answer questions by studying the original.

Tech

At tech today we started creating the cover of our juice carton. The name of my juice is Apple Bomb the flavor is apple and this is the font I used. Next we had to add our ML, bar code, ingredients and lastly nutrition. When we thought about those things we had to think about what is legal and why. We said that you need ingredients to show if you have any allergies to the juice. Next we had to think about what we can use that can be safe and not harming the sea animals. We came up with an idea instead of straws you can have a side where you can unfold a attached pouring hole.

Facial Recognition For Sheep

A Dunedin company has announced they are developing facial recognition for sheep. Iris Data Science is working on the facial recognition instead of costly electronic identification or ear tagging of animals. The project has received a $40,000 grant from Callaghan Innovation and the company is aiming to prototype the software this year. Sheep face images are collected and fed into a machine-learning model which learns how to identify sheep by finding recognizable features. It is the same facial recognition technology is on humans in the airport.
