According to LG, the future of retail is robotic-- the S. Korean company plans to put robots to work at the largest supermarket chain in the country, E-Mart, in the shape of self-driving shopping carts.
Developed by the LG lab responsible for a number of robots released under the CLOi brand, the shopping cart robots promise to "free visitors from the hassle of pushing heavy carts by themselves." The company says the robots will follow shoppers as they walk through the aisles, automatically avoiding obstacles along the way.
The HyperDrive adds no less than 6 ports to the latest Apple tablet-- namely HDMI, 3.5mm headphone jack, SD and microSD card slots, USB-A 3.0 and USB-C Power Delivery. It is built out of aluminium, includes a removable polycarbonate and ABS grip, and sits flush with the side of the display when hooked to the tablet, with or without the Smart Folio keyboard.
Such a reshuffle, the report states, allows Oculus to work as a whole on the long term, instead being split into groups working on separate gadgets. Facebook does confirm the "internal changes" to TechCrunch, stating the company's leadership remains as is with CTO John Carmack and co-founder/Head of PC VR Nate Mitchell reporting to Facebook VP of AR/VR Andrew "Boz" Bosworth.
The 2018 iPad Pro comes in 2 sizes, 11- and 12.9-inch, with thinner bezels leading to smaller tablets. The 11-inch model actually measures as much as the previous 10.5-inch model, while the 12.9-inch model is smaller than the screen size suggests. Other than size both devices are essentially identical, with the same curvy unibody holding the A12X Bionic, a processor described by Apple as "the smartest and most powerful chip in a tablet."
