Amazon just introduced āNova,ā a family of five new AI Systems and a new AI Framework for deploying AI Agents to browse websites autonomously.
Key Details:
Nova Micro: A Text-Only AI System thatās optimized for generating low-latency outputs at a very low cost.
Nova Lite: A Multimodal AI System thatās lightning-fast at processing text, image, and video inputs to generate text outputs.
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.
Nova Canvas: An Image Generation AI System that turns brief text inputs into high-quality image outputs.
Nova Reel: A Video Generation AI System that turns descriptive text inputs or image inputs into high-quality video outputs.
Nova Act: An AI Framework that enables developers to build AI Agents that autonomously click, scroll, type, browse, and navigate websites for you.
Why Itās Important:
Amazonās investing heavily in GenAI applications, including:
Rufus: A Personal Shopping Assistant that helps you discover the best products to meet your needs.
Alexa+: A Personal Voice Assistant that proactively books flights, purchases tickets, or manages subscriptions.
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. Amazonās building a complete AI Ecosystem to be the best option for businesses.

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

Image Source: YouTube/IFLScience/āWatch As This Oozing Liquid Robot Breaks Out Of Jail By Passing Through Barsā/Screenshot
Researchers at Seoul National University (SNU) developed āParticle-Armored Liquid roBot (PB),ā a liquid blob that shape-shifts to pick up debris.
Key Details:
āPBā 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:
Merge with other āPBs.ā
Squeeze through narrow spaces.
Engulf objects and transport cargo.
āPBā 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 āPBāsā ability to merge, squeeze, and engulf.
āIt 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 Itās Important:
āPBāsā 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.
