Jibo-a voice robot focusing on human interaction (priced at $899). After several years of development, voice robots represented by Amazon Echo and Google Home are gradually becoming familiar. But fundamentally, they are still just a "talking box", and there is no other visual feedback except a light showing the listening state.

The round head will show animation patterns to express feelings, and the body will swing when talking to you, just like dancing. It not only giggles, but also dances, and knows the direction facing you when talking. These characteristics make Jibo more humanized than its predecessors, and Jibo will fundamentally change the interaction between human beings and machines. At present, Jibo's function is simple, but Matt Revis, the president of the production company, is very optimistic about its future.

Forward was founded by Adrian Aoun, a former Google employee. He hopes to use Forward to help people predict future physical changes and make countermeasures. Some critics believe that most Americans can't afford outpatient medical care, and some clinics don't accept or only accept insurance from a few insurance companies, which makes it more difficult for the poor to see a doctor. The emergence of positive self-service clinics is expected to solve this problem. It is reported that Forward has raised 654.38 billion US dollars, recently opened a store in Los Angeles, and plans to expand to other cities in the future.

NASA's Insight into Mars-Measuring the Temperature of Mars. The Earth and Mars are closest to each other every two years or so along their respective orbits, which is also the best time for scientists to send probes to Mars. The next time these two planets are close to each other is next year, and NASA is ready for this moment. NASA plans to launch the new Mars probe "Mars Insight Lander" from 2065438 to May 2008. As the name suggests, Insight will focus on digging holes on Mars. (The probe was originally scheduled to be launched on 20 16, but missed the opportunity due to the failure of the seismograph system. ) Unlike the probe that flew up before, InSight will concentrate on one place after landing, and drill a 5-meter-deep hole on the surface of Mars with a drill bit to study the geothermal history of the planet-in layman's terms, it is to "measure" the temperature of Mars. In addition, the seismograph on the probe detects the internal structure of Mars by listening to how the Martian earthquake echoes on the planet. The camera on the detector will send panoramic photos and three-dimensional images back to Earth. Insight plans to work on Mars for 728 Earth Days (equivalent to 708 Mars Days), and a new probe will take its place.
