Ep 12. United Kingdom Innovations
- February 3, 2018
In this episode of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, viewers are taken across the pond to explore a variety of innovative creations coming out of the United Kingdom. From an artificial intelligence project which helps detect illnesses, to a new type of 3D printing technology, the episode offers a glimpse into the impressive and groundbreaking work being done in the UK.
First up, we meet the creators of a new form of computer vision which is revolutionizing healthcare. The AI system uses machine learning to identify the early signs and symptoms of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and even certain forms of cancer. By analyzing the way patients walk, talk, and move, the AI can detect abnormalities and alert doctors to the need for further testing.
Next, we head to a factory in the north of England to take a look at a new type of 3D printing technology. Using a special type of clay, this printer is capable of producing highly detailed models and sculptures with incredible speed and accuracy. The technology is already being used by some of the world's leading architects and designers to create stunning works of art and functional objects alike.
One UK-based company is using RFID technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of global supply chains. By attaching RFID chips to individual products, the company is able to track every step of the supply chain from manufacturer to consumer. This allows for a higher level of transparency and accountability, and can help reduce waste and improve sustainability across the board.
For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, one UK-based startup has created a new form of sustainable power which harnesses energy from the ocean waves. By designing specialized buoys and harnessing the natural power of the ocean, the company has found a way to provide clean energy to remote communities and businesses alike.
Finally, we meet the creators of a new type of robot which could revolutionize the way we interact with technology. Developed by a team of engineers in the UK, the robot is capable of sensing human emotions and responding in kind. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for businesses and individuals alike, from personalized customer service to new forms of entertainment and communication.
Overall, this episode of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation provides an in-depth look at some of the most exciting and groundbreaking innovations coming out of the United Kingdom. From AI-powered healthcare to ocean-wave power and beyond, these innovations are set to change the world as we know it.
