crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a little. sochi of the twenty fourteen olympics what's this place like why is this so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the games shaping the city's present and future. so. this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold snowy windy mountain. beyond the olympics but say.

hello and welcome to technology updates on today's show christmas comes early from moscow's young innovates has. a novel animation up brings films to the big screen. a moscow state university gives a whole new meaning to wearable technology but first new year may still be a couple of days off but they've already been plenty of festivities this month. on something a lot. take no spock nano technology sensor was officially opened in the town of troy just south of moscow. aims to become a launch a high tech startups by bringing together all the facilities and know how to develop and produce innovative goods all into one roof while the town's strong research base made it the natural choice of location the pog received large investments from ross nano and the company's chairman was that's make sure the money had been put to good use. about twenty five startups should already be created this year there are twenty five startups alone in the year the center was

set up then i expect tens or even hundreds of startups to emerge out of here in the near future and today you see in the creation of these innovation powerhouses with your own non-u.s. . lasers are a key direction for techno spark so we went to address the project which is also part of the regional innovation cluster to see what's cooking the family run business has been producing ultra short pulls lasers for fifteen years it's emerged out of the birthplace of the laser believe it to physical institute and they continue to work closely together. so second lasers are already frequently used for in creating and cutting to fun glass but the full spectrum of after cations for this type of laser is only just being realized however it's hard to imagine exactly how short a pencil second day's. second is one four trillion over one million for the billionth of a second there are way more fame two seconds in a second then yes the universe has existed so to put it into context it takes

around three hundred million then two seconds for us to blink. if you are travelling at the speed of light you would only move north points between michael b c one ten to second which is about the size of a virus for such a miniscule amount of time the potential for this technology is immense. the main benefit of second lasers is the low level of heat transfer almost no heat is transferred to the surrounding areas the material is removed through a process known as cold ablation in other laser systems remove material by melting it evaporation or micro explosions this is a completely new process because the intensity is so high at the focal point of the material turns into a plasma and displacement disappears instantly from the desired location this takes place in such a short amount of time so that he does not have time to diffuse into the surrounding areas the second advise that follows on from the first is this method can be used with any material transparent or not no matter how hard or what its

composition. so what about diamonds one of the hardest natural materials known to man that does a ling beauty an exceptional solidness is what. by jewellers these properties that make them hard to keep secure. the crystal. has been producing fine diamonds from fifty years. of sizes to choose from each polish to a sparkling shine the company uses. a unique id on each stone to prevent it from being counterfeit. but this form of marking has its limitations because. so the company. institutes for a more permanent solution. traditional strength in a fundamental science projects. this device.

of creating a unique mobb deep within the diamond. is so fine that it's can't be seen with. the surface so the laser beam. unfocused but is then intensified hundreds of thousands of times inside the diamond this provides the concentration of energy required to turn the diamond into graphite although still a form of carbon block providing the contrast required for the id and the only way of removing it would be to split the diamond into smaller stones which would trust the overall volume up locations of. far beyond jewelry. we have researched corrective eye surgery with this laser in cooperation with the

central clinical hospital. running a series of projects to examine high energy physics with. and others in our labs here. pinpoints precision a femtosecond lasers makes them ideal for nano surgery and grafting prosthetics directly to bone they use is also a range from engraving consumer electronics so high tech kitchen appliances while their potential for fixing silicon chips makes them indispensable in the computer industry books whatever they're used for blink and you'll miss it these special opening of techno spark wasn't the only cause for celebration in december because christmas came early for some of the country's longest and most talented innovators and of course we went along to the main award ceremonies held this month. focal point by convention two thousand and thirteen got off to a buying in moscow's belmont university on the fifth of december the all singing all dancing and you'll event recognizes bush's most talented young scientists and

at the end of the day the joy of experts picked the best projects in green and biotechnologies materials i.t. and engineering but despite the exterior design he can project has very commercial goals so it is that. there are no specialized events for young engineers or inventors in our country at the moment. we don't want people involved in high tech development just three million dollars for a fifty percent stake in the company. want them to make billions just like tony stark and. after such rousing words i was he gets to meet the future find men and women of the barman university in the exhibition area. the stones not only gave finalists the opportunity to show off the fruits of their labors but also network and meet potential investors the highlights included universities formula students car and printable solar panels that can be attached to pretty much anything meanwhile lurking in the depths the uni's entry for the student robel so

competition boasts a three d. camera and is floating its way up the leaderboard and of course no technology show would be complete without augments of reality play. display here brings two d. images from books to kids i'm up to life and then lets users interact with the b three d. to reveal the information embedded inside. elsewhere in moscow that in a start two thousand and thirteen final was held at the center of modern design and innovations later that evening over three hundred students submitted their projects for consideration so we wanted the top three prizes and those who made it to the final five to present their ideas lie and were subjected to a grilling from the jury those who didn't quite make it to the final was still on hand to show off their entries which included a unique hydro massage shower and facial tracking technology which only requires a standard low resolution webcam to track movement making the technology less of a strain on the pocket back in the main hole the jury had come to

a decision the winners of this year's in a star included a radical rethink of moscow a super green roofing material and a device to make sure you never get stung on your electricity bill is one thing receive an award for innovation but once you spend your prize money you should go to tech crunch to try and find an investor or not. to take. tech crunch moscow two thousand and thirteen was held at the digital october center guests of the event by the tech news websites of the same name range from startups to industry leaders as always tech crunch is stossel ali was just packed with people demo their wares vying for attention and hoping to get a spot on the hollow district stage participants have three minutes to present their idea of charts investors and move on to the next round however one name that crops up in a presentation about a messaging up stood out from the rest. team will be a computer is the founder of the film production company and if that doesn't ring any bells he's also the director of the hollywood film wanted and many of the star

studded flicks with the path from concept to big screen is no walk in the park and pre-visualization plays an important role in getting new. off the ground action parts modern pitches require more than the traditional to teach chuckles sketches three d. animation is give a frame by frame idea of how the finished product should look pre-visualization is also help directors tweak camera angles stage direction and lighting and in an industry where time costs lots of money they help everyone know who's doing what where and when on sets despite saving money even the previews are very costly and time consuming a fact. because when i read all sorts of images and pictures appear in my head and i thought it would be great if you could write a text and then have a computer to automatically turn it into an animated cartoon but.

it would understand and use the same language used by all filmmakers when they're telling a story just from images on a screen. so the guys at the studio got cracking to make the most fun to see a reality the company developed a universal text animation scripts this compatible with pre-prepared to d. and three d. characters and animals you simply put in your text completely stage directions and the application source of the dialogue movement gestures and camera angles it was easy to see how it was coming useful in the film industry so while director such as he was crazy with his next screenplay i wanted to find out how such a specific piece of software made its way to the mass market. we took the professional version which supports lots of features and gradually began automating them for cutting them out altogether introducing defaults at such a sort of this product could be used by a wider audience in the future. we even had a trial where you made a t.v.

series for a cable channel three d. bag rounds and characters that were left and created an online version of the program which could be accessed through a browser. so anyone could visit and see the interface it has a stage these two robotic characters and a text input box. the text is then uploaded to a server to be animated the whole process only takes around fifteen second but leads to some rather peculiar videos online in twenty eight and it's an awfully people in their thirty's and forty's complaining and they should because their lives are almost over twenty sucks because it's the end of fun or at least society thinking it's ok to have fun when you turn twenty eight you and your fun friends start partying and start having addictions that's what they call it you can get

hammered on monday night without raising some eyebrows although it may seem like a lot of nonsense to get a lot of users online a chance to express themselves and it caught on surprisingly quickly are. still there for with having created these robots and the spy the fact that use had created videos which had been viewed over one hundred thousand times. early on but only five six well less than ten percent of our audience could create their own screenplay. so we decided to go one step further and simplify our application even more and return to the world of s.m.s. and takes communication. in a world where people show how they're feeling with smiley's social network of contacts which also happens to be russia's second most visited site was the perfect place to test out the technology to simplify film pre-visualization software only requires text and smileys for the characters to interact messenger's ease of use

and logical progression from current communication trends mentality to must over seven hundred thousand users in the first three weeks alone with the evolution of this once nice software doesn't end here. we plan to launch a mobile application sometime in the summer of twenty fourteen. and probably be released at the same time as a film to take advantage of. characters and images in it. that we currently don't know what film it will probably be a big budget animation or adventure franchise but which comes. into the first touch after the break.

rest here and on this idea that we live in a democratic society if you abuse the instruments of democratic power then you actually do you want living in a democratic power anymore. there's a media leave so we leave that maybe. by the same bush to secure the. party is a goal. shoes that no one is asking with to get they deserve answers from. politicking . these locals have been counted solid hammer braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giants chevron. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that some have dubbed the gulag of our times.

let's take a quick look at this month's tech news. sales of the year kicks off on the fourth of december as gorky park in what's proved to be a day of firsts is the company's first foray into markets it also happens to be the first design smartphone and the world's first. screen mobile display promises to prolong your life and display information even when the phone is not out of battery and under the device also has wide implications for russian innovation. we show that we can do it because three years ago a few people who believe that russian startup can bring this idea to the commercial

product and get this type of success and interest we have we can create innovative product we can do something consumer electronics and we can be competitive russian environmental monitoring service that unveiled the latest addition to its fleet of flying locks on the sixth of december the heavily modified forty two d. boasts over seventy instruments for monitoring pollution and radiation levels as was particles it can even in rainfall in dry areas of silver iodide disperses. a million martian meeting was held at the cosmonaut explain more you museum in moscow on the third of december as part of the mars one project the project hopes to establish a permanent human colony on mars by two thousand and twenty three and so far as received over two hundred thousand applications for a one way ticket to the red planet. when you. about this project the first time the . very realist. all the people that are already.

on our board and. starts getting on the. training the end of last month the robots he said to join the crew on the international space station early next year controlled remotely from the ground by a pair of much of gloves the robots human like hands will work on the exterior of the station. the line between technology and biology is becoming increasingly blurred so let's focus on moscow state universities latest developments in wearable tech. brain. wearable technology has been billed as the next big thing i'm not talking about smart glasses one of the way quickly. braving the cold outside the moscow state university andre

and pavol here are busy putting the exo athletes through its paces. first exoskeleton meaning it requires no external. help to carry loads one hundred kilograms. of the cold i had inside the institute of mechanics where i found it rather unusual routes. ventured into robotics way back in the seventy's. made for quite a spectacle they used to gyroscopic stabilization system which kept them upright even when they were standing on the spot having impressed audiences around the world the researchers shifted their attention from wheels to walking machines having already created one of russia's first anthropomorphic by people robots was on a roll so why stop at just two lakes. she was built at a time when computers filled entire. but despite

a ripe old age of forty the old kill can still still says stuff with the best of them she's the results of the institute's work on mimicking nature in an attempt to find alternative transport means each leg has three axes of movements provided by a total of eighteen perfectly coordinated electric motors she was refined over the years to improve her awareness of the surrounding environment and before her retirement she could climb stairs and adjust her gait according to incline and the institute of mechanics had big plans for muster two point zero but it. was. there was talk of news ing. as a mars rover or the thing is though the moon rover before her run on wheels. but if it came across an area on the surface of mars that was either an even or covered in rocks it's unlikely that a wheel based machine would have coped with it. and this is where legs

would come in. which will. in the one nine hundred seventy s. during the cold war humanity had set his eyes on concrete in other worlds and russia was looking towards the red planet the institute of mechanics proposed sending a beefed up version of masha to mas the giants yellow masa court translated literally as mars walker would help clear the path for human settlement just like musher the most are called would have been able to adjust its gait depending on the surface and obstacles in its path however unlike mattia the most accords featured a scoop or claw at the front and open bed at the back for building clearing rubble and collecting samples there was even talk of creating a version that offered the speed of wheels but the off road capabilities of legs but all that remains is a solitary like. it has to be said that as well as carrying out experimental work into a two legged and six legged walking robots we also conducted theoretical research

we developed algorithms that allow the robots to work and our experience with watching robots came in very handy when we were developing the eggs or skeleton. all these experiences meant that the exo athletes made it from suring ball to prototype in just two days it was developed jointly with the emergency situations ministry and received funding from the ministry of education in science weighing in at just twelve kilos it can help the operator carry loads of it to one hundred kilograms while its lack of butter and electronics means that it requires little if any maintenance in the field naturally these advantages caught the attention of the russian defense ministry to see both ready to go the eagle eyed a monkey may remember the xo athlete from a news piece we did back in august where it was demonstrated that the russian defense ministry innovation day the russian armed forces saw his potential for assisting troops loading heavy i mean it increase in supply use as well as carrying

heavy duty military combat shields such as this one but it wouldn't be that easy to fight in on the idea. it was shelved. the uni's also working on hydraulic and electric versions this battery powered hydraulic suits weighs twice as much as the passive one and has an operation time of around two hours but this was a tradeoff the team were willing to make for the added power and mobility it gives the user senses on either side of the neat pickup the operator's intention and swing the leg into action. i have to try one on for size it was a strange feeling construct so securely to the exoskeleton and it felt like learning to walk again as i started slowly forward but it didn't take long to get the hang of it pressure pads at the bottom of the exoskeleton takes when the foot is touching the floor unlock the leg at the knee ready for the next step. toward there is a motion detection system installed industry which uses video cameras to help us

see how a person moves in the exoskeleton and workout that's going nomics. because this is one of the methods are used to deal with the irregularities of the human body. we can gather statistics to see how people walk then use this information to customise the exoskeleton. including the speed and movement of the joints the rigidity and shock absorbing properties of the excess skeleton a much more we get the word obviously pavel wasn't quite as happy with my performance as i was i thought i could do with something extra assistance. entirely out of place though with waning interest from the military the medical is the one they're currently looking to explore the potential of the exoskeleton helping people walk and recover from injury not to mention the psychological benefits that come with it is immense the passive exoskeletons lack of complex electronics means that it would be perfect for people living in remote areas it can also be used to

help take some of the load off those who carry heavy objects as part of their daily work as i work with. the war room and in creating the exoskeleton we're hoping to be one of the first players in a market that's only just forming. so we'll have a chance to find our own each and meet the expectations that people have told us about when you come to reduce. and provide them with the exoskeleton they really need. gaining popularity through hollywood blockbusters developments such as the one from moscow state university mean the skeletons are no longer confined to the realms of fantasy potential in the real world. as an engineer is looking for ways either to restore people's mobility and strength or great it. might just be the way. they used range from helping people get back on their feet and building strength so helping the world. and making life's work of heavy lifting so it looks
