In this presentation, I talk about how ethos are any relevant in the future development of tech, citing examples of robots that has Artificial Intelligence and one that are pure mechanical with basic programming. Will they harm us like it is always portrayed in movies or are there hopes that one day, both robots and us can live harmoniously?

Light – the camera(s) that sought to take over the DSLR
The Revolutionary Light L16 Camera
This camera is pretty much a pocket DSLR and it just changed the game ?

This camera with its imaginative concept of having multiple lenses (probably stemmed from Huawei’s and Apple’s dual camera idea) that allow for the capturing of large megapixel image in a pocket-sized camera. Stitched using software, the multiple images combined produce huge resolution files which also captures depth and allow for after-capture depth manipulation to achieve your desired image.
As a photographer, while this seems to be a suitable replacement for my photography services, I feel this takes away the value of the skill. This is a craft by profession and thus while this seems like a good alternative, would not be that good for the industry. It may be useful as a value add-on:)
By far the most intriguing device ever.
Engineers from Standord University created a live band but with robots that are programmed to play musical instruments such as the piano, drums ans turn table. Their aim was to realise an A.I. musical future with this project. Best part, they only took a month. I was literally blown away, given the short amount of time spent to make this. This inspires me further to dwell into the world of robotics and programming.
While it all seems complicated, the idea and basics behind it is actually very simple. The robotics arms features a 6 axis arm but all of which the angle of movement isn’t at all large. Then there is the intervals at which the arms press the keys/play the instrument. Getting the beats right, is definitely more difficult. But what I think is the hardest, is to get the different axises of an arm to move in one concise motion to deliver an actual action. This is what I’ll probably be stuck with, especially having to sync the other arms together.
