Smart suitcases have trouble traveling



Several companies reject its use for possible explosions of its lithium batteries




   Intelligent luggage, also known as smart luggage, has become very popular in recent months, but smart suitcases contain lithium batteries, which pose a risk when placed in the hold of an airplane," says American Airlines. it's a statement.

Precisely, American Airlines has been the first company to stop the advance of smart luggage. One of the leading manufacturers of these new devices, Bluesmart, has already sold 65,000 units and, in addition, has announced that its latest version has been exhausted.

"We are saddened by these latest changes in some airline regulations and we feel that it is a step back not only for travel technology, it also presents an obstacle to and improving the way we all travel," the company notes.

   The suitcases of Bluesmart and also those of the rest of companies of these devices are equipped with a lithium battery and USB ports that allow the recharging of the smartphones of the users.

They also have a GPS to track the location of the suitcase in case it is lost, electronic locks and an electronic balance to avoid excess baggage. Some of these new suitcases even have an engine to propel them and that they can follow their owner through the airport.

However, the suspicion has spread over them, as airlines fear that the batteries could cause a fire in the cargo hold that could not be detected in time. The companies, however, will allow passengers to check if the batteries in their suitcases can be removed and taken into the cabin. However, many of the suitcases that are already on the market have batteries that can not be removed.

Autonomous boats will arrive in Europe in 2017 The waters of the canals of Amsterdam will receive the first robots ships    If the autonomous cars begin to accumulate kilometers by the highways of the United States, to the other side of the Atlantic Amsterdam prepares to receive the first boats without captain. "Imagine a fleet of autonomous boats for the transport of goods and people," Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Carlo Ratti said in a statement from this research center. The Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions is working on a project that will culminate in 2017 with the first trips through the capital's canals with robot ships.   The scientific director of the Dutch center, Arjan van Timmeren, said that these boats "offer enormous possibilities" and could have application in environmental and health issues, such as detecting diseases in advance once progress is made in relation to underwater robots. The project wil...

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones An MIT mapping system allows unmanned aircraft to dodge obstacles at low speed     Can a drone only dodge an obstacle? The answer is yes. The Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has managed to provide artificial intelligence to a small aircraft to fly through forests and warehouses. Nanomap, the new alternative navigation system allows you to fly over and avoid obstacles, as long as the speed of the device does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.    Excessively safe maps will not help if you want drones that can operate at higher speeds in human environments," says graduate student Pete Florence, lead author of a new related document. "An approach that is more aware of uncertainty gives us a much higher level of reliability in terms of being able to fly close and avoid obstacles ." Shocks Many existing approaches are based on complex ...
