Drones Serving in Singapore Restaurants as Waiters

Do you like to travel a lot? Do you guys like to visit different restaurants then this place is for you guys. If you are going to travel to Singapore in the near future so you guys must visit this restaurant. You all must me thinking that what is so special in the restaurant, but it is not an ordinary restaurant with the ordinary waiters taking the order rather they are having Drones which are going to get back to you to provide your order. You must be thinking that this all may look good in science fiction movies but it is true. Fortunately these ‘bots just want to bring you beer and pizza in starting.

They have been testing these drones in-house to improve service to its customers. Each drone is capable of carrying about five pounds, which means they can easily deliver for two — say, a couple of pints and a whole pizza.

According to them deploying drones will allow the restaurant to make better use of its staff, who will still do the actual order taking and handing off  the drones will simply come to you with your orders from the kitchen out to the dining area. Infinium’s CEO Junyang Woon is confident that his company’s drones will ensure that “staff are able to interact more with customers and enhance their dining experience.”

Flying drone waiters

You must be worried that the airspace above the tables might get a little dangerous during dining rushes? The company providing the drones, Infinium Robotics, says you needn’t be. They’ve equipped the fleet with everything the drones need to avoid collisions both with each other and the restaurant’s paying customers. As long as their batteries don’t unexpectedly deplete mid-flight, as this is a exception to it.

The only reason that the restaurant is going to add drones is not because to popularize themselves in a different way, but in Singapore it is not easy to find staff for the serving purpose and the young once are shy for the serve job due to which they are deploying the drones in the restaurants which will ultimately popularize them in a modern way as well as decrease the cost of staff.

According to statistics, Mobile commerce is growing at really faster pace and more than half of the company’s sale happening through its mobile app only.

“The pace at which this medium is catching up with and even surpassing desktops is faster than what we have seen in the US or China, where the concept of mobile commerce has been around for longer,” Bansal said.

During the Big Billion Day sale only Flipkart generated almost 500 TB of commerce data. “We primarily use data to predict customer trends based on region, gender, wish list etc., to drive an enriching shopping experience,” said Bansal.

How to enable Google Now on Android 5.0 Lollipop in Nepal and other countries

I had posted a guide earlier this year on ways to Enable Google Now in Nepal and other countries. That method works flawlessly on both Rooted and Non-Rooted devices running Android 4.0 to Android 4.4.4 Kitkat. Android has now gone into major overhaul in both design and software functions like ART being now default in Android 5.0 Lollipop. But with the new version of Android, same old problem arrived for the people living in Nepal and many other countries – “Location reporting is not available in your country”.

Tried every available method to enable Google Now? Still no luck??  Keep calm guys, I have a solution. Remember that this method works only on Rooted devices.

Here are the steps to follow

Step 1 :

Install any custom launcher. I installed Nova Launcher. Open the launcher and make it default.
Then clear Google Now launcher from Recents View.

Download Nova Launcher

Step 2 :

Install a Root explorer or file manager. Fx file manager worked for me. Also make sure you install its Root Ad-on for using root functionality.

Download Fx File Manager

Download Root Ad-on for Fx File Manager

Step 3 :

Download an older Google Search apk from the link below.

Download Google Search-2.6.7.721924

Step 4 :

Rename the downloaded apk to Velvet.apk

Step 5 :

Go to Settings/Apps/All and scroll down to Google Search. Tap it and Clear data. This will remove all your settings for Google Now Launcher but let’s not worry about it much.

The main disadvantage I feel is that 16 GB is quite low when even they are not offering the external card slot in the device and it also not support 4G in 16 GB variant which is a a big negative point.

Like other Xiaomi devices it will also be available only to the registered users and on “First Come Fist Serve Bases” which sometimes becomes a very big problem who need the device urgently.

When we come to the comparison with other flagship killer which was launch last year in December the Oneplus one 64 GB variant which is available only for Rs. 22,000, but it also has a drawback that it is available to only those who has the invite to buy the device. When we come to the invite they are easily available now a days as amazon is sending invites to all the owners and as well as to those who are subscribed to their oneplus one page on amazon.in.

Xiaomi Mi4

When we come to the hardware which Xiaomi Mi4 is offering is, it powered by a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor and 3GB RAM. It will be available in 16GB variants in India first. The phone runs MIUI 6, a new version of the company’s operating system, based on Android 4.4 KitKat. The phone sports a 13MP rear and 8MP front Sony stacked CMOS camera and a 3080mAh battery. According to Xiaomi, the battery would last one and a half day with normal usage and will offer quick charging, reaching 60% charge in an hour’s time.

In terms of connectivity, the phone supports 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. It doesn’t support 4G data and NFC.

Commenting on the launch, Hugo Barra, vice president, Xiaomi Global, said, “I am truly excited to be bringing the Mi 4 to India, after listening to the feedback of so many fans. The Xiaomi team has put a lot of effort into designing a gorgeous device packed with powerful specs, and I trust that Mi 4 will be warmly welcomed by all our Indian fans.

New Water Resistant Material That Bounce Water Back

Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a new laser-scratching innovation that makes a super hydrophobic sheet of material. The material is hydrophobic to the point that water drops bounce off until they tumble off the edge.the special thing about the new innovation is that its significantly more tricky than Teflon, utilized normal hydrophobic material that regularly layers nonstick pans. It’s  dissimilar to non stick griddle, the new laser-treated metals doesn’t require to tilt the metal for water to move off the surface. Since broiling skillet use concoction covering which wears off over the time. The new engineering can be utilized as a part of various applications, for example, rust anticipation, hostile to icing, or even in sanitation employments.

As the water bobs off the surface, it additionally gathers dust particles. Analysts likewise tried this utilizing standard dust from a vacuum cleaner and dumped it onto the treated surface. About 50% of the dust particles were uprooted with only three drops of water. It took just twelve drops to leave the surface spotless. Additionally it remained totally dry.

“The material is so strongly water-repellent, the water actually gets bounced off. Then it lands on the surface again, gets bounced off again, and then it will just roll off from the surface,” said Guo, professor of optics in the University’s Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. That whole process takes less than a second.

“In these regions, collecting rain water is vital and using super-hydrophobic materials could increase the efficiency without the need to use large funnels with high-pitched angles to prevent water from sticking to the surface,” says Guo. “A second application could be creating latrines that are cleaner and healthier to use.”

According to them the manufacturing process is not ready for large-scale manufacturing as it takes an hour to etch a one-inch-square piece of metal.
