Amazon just introduced ā€œNova,ā€ a family of five new AI Systems and a new AI Framework for deploying AI Agents to browse websites autonomously.

Key Details:
  1. Nova Micro: A Text-Only AI System thatā€™s optimized for generating low-latency outputs at a very low cost.

  2. Nova Lite: A Multimodal AI System thatā€™s lightning-fast at processing text, image, and video inputs to generate text outputs.

  3. Nova Pro: A highly capable Multimodal AI System with the best combination of accuracy, speed, and cost to deploy AI Agents that execute multi-step workflows.

  4. Nova Canvas: An Image Generation AI System that turns brief text inputs into high-quality image outputs.

  5. Nova Reel: A Video Generation AI System that turns descriptive text inputs or image inputs into high-quality video outputs.

  6. Nova Act: An AI Framework that enables developers to build AI Agents that autonomously click, scroll, type, browse, and navigate websites for you.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Amazonā€™s investing heavily in GenAI applications, including:

    1. Rufus: A Personal Shopping Assistant that helps you discover the best products to meet your needs.

    2. Alexa+: A Personal Voice Assistant that proactively books flights, purchases tickets, or manages subscriptions.

    3. Amazon Q: A Personal Business Assistant that debugs code, crafts emails, or summarizes documents.

  • They plan to spend over $100 billion in Capital Expenditures (CapEx) this year to acquire more AI Talent, build Data Centers, and buy Cutting-Edge GPUs. Amazonā€™s building a complete AI Ecosystem to be the best option for businesses.

šŸ¦¾AI-Supported Liquid Robots That Shape-Shift?!

Image Source: YouTube/IFLScience/ā€œWatch As This Oozing Liquid Robot Breaks Out Of Jail By Passing Through Barsā€/Screenshot

Researchers at Seoul National University (SNU) developed ā€œParticle-Armored Liquid roBot (PB),ā€ a liquid blob that shape-shifts to pick up debris.

Key Details:
  • ā€œPBā€ is comprised of water and Hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which forms a shell around the water to help it maintain a defined shape.

  • This structure enables it to:

    1. Merge with other ā€œPBs.ā€

    2. Squeeze through narrow spaces.

    3. Engulf objects and transport cargo.

  • ā€œPBā€ is controlled through ultrasonic waves that enable it to move, deform, divide, and change shape, all without leaking or collapsing.

  • AI Systems can help control, analyze, and enhance these ultrasonic waves to optimize ā€œPBā€™sā€ ability to merge, squeeze, and engulf.

  • ā€œIt can also be done with alternative liquids if they can be frozen and PTFE particles can adhere to their surface,ā€ explained Hyobin Jeon, Lead Researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at SNU.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œPBā€™sā€ ability to squeeze through narrow spaces allows it to navigate complex biological environments.

  • For example, navigating blood vessels to provide targeted drug delivery to cancerous cells.
