Let's Go 4 “MoonBots” !

MoonBots: A Google Lunar X PRIZE LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Challenge

A partnership between the X PRIZE Foundation, Google, LEGO MINDSTORMS, National Instruments, and 's GeekDad blog, MoonBots will require 6-member teams of both children and adults to essentially conduct Google Lunar X PRIZE missions using LEGO components.



The new contest will challenge small teams comprised of children and adults to design, program, and construct robots that perform simulated lunar missions similar to those required to win the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE, a private race to the Moon designed to enable commercial exploration of space while engaging the global public. To further this purpose, the X PRIZE Foundation and Google have now joined forces with three other well known technology companies to offer a competition that will stimulate learning of robotics and team building while exciting students and their families about their potential roles in the new Moon race.

“We want students and their parents to understand that they can tackle difficult engineering problems and generate important new ideas regardless of their age or their background—and that they can have fun doing so. This contest is quite accessible for even very young children, but still demands creativity, intelligence, and hard work. It’s a perfect starting point for the next generation of rocket scientists!”


Let's go Konstantinos :-)

.. Eye for Ads!

-


Again and again.. technology innovation helps marketers and advertisers to create digital signs that can display targeted ads based on information they extract from examining the contours of individual human faces.

These smart signs are a powerful innovation in advertising. Cameras can estimate for example: the age or ethnicity or gender of people passing by.The system then can target an advertisement to whoever happens to be watching!




The Solution : Digital signage with facial recognition cameras!

Known as digital signage, the signs are LCD or LED TVs running commercials and other informational content with embedded tiny cameras. Facial recognition systems are computer-based security systems that are able to automatically detect and identify human faces. These systems depend on a recognition algorithm.
