Robo 3D is building an entire ecosystem for your 3D-printing needs

By Will Fulton Published July 19, 2016

San Diego-based Robo 3D got into the 3D-printing game early with a 2012 Kickstarter. A few years later and they’re still at it, with more and better hardware on offer, and a growing ecosystem of support products aimed at helping people get involved with this emerging tech. We spoke to Robo 3D co-founder Braydon Moreno on the floor at CE Week’s GetGeeked event to learn more about what the company has coming down the pipe.

In addition to their currently available flagship printer, the R1 Plus, Robo 3D will be launching two new models in September. Beyond just the hardware, though, Robo 3D offers kits to build particular objects, such as drones, clocks, or a working arcade cabinet. The kits are sold separately or in bundles with the printer itself. Moreno said that some of them already available now on Robo 3D’s website, and plans call for having 10 kits available by the end of the year that offer a wide range of hobby projects to get amateurs into the exciting world of 3D printing.

AI doesn’t have to turn evil to put you at risk

An AI assistant that agrees with everything you say might feel like the perfect companion — until you need someone to tell you you’re wrong. That’s one of the more immediate dangers behind the idea of AI “going rogue.” A chatbot can cause harm without developing intentions of its own. It can reinforce a false belief, encourage an unhealthy attachment, or follow instructions planted by someone trying to hijack it.

On October 15, AI safety company Alice announced new software to address those everyday risks. Working separately with Inflection AI and AI21, the company says it helped train NVIDIA’s Nemotron models to resist harmful conversational behavior and malicious instructions while preserving their usefulness.

Elon Musk has revealed ambitious plans for Neuralink, and they go beyond controlling computers with your thoughts. The company is developing two brain implants, Telepathy and Blindsight, aimed at helping people with paralysis and severe vision loss. Musk also believes future advances could help people regain control of their hands and legs by reconnecting the brain with their limbs.

Sony has shrunk its glasses-free 3D technology into a tiny screen, and it can bring anime characters to life on your desk

It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.

Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).
