right on the scene. first street. and i think the church. reporters. could be on the. street. alone welcomes technology updates on today's show christmas comes early from. a novel animation up brings films to the big screen. a moscow state university gives a whole new meaning to wearable technology but first media may still be

a couple of days off but they've already been plenty of festivities this month. something. take no spock nano technology sensor was officially opened in the town of troy just south of moscow this sense that aims to become a launch part of 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 poc received large investments from ross nano and the company's chairman was that make sure the money had been put to good use thank you about twenty five startups should already be created this year that 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. lasers. riki direction for techno spark so we went to

a festive 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. second lasers are already frequently used for increasing and cutting too often 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 benzo second day's. center second is one for trillions over one million for the billionth of a second there are a way more than two seconds in a second then yes the universe has existed so supportive since a context it's takes around three hundred million femto seconds for us to blink. if you are travelling at the speed of light you would only move north point three michael b c one temp the 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 under spasm it 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 but 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 makes him prized by jewellers but he . these properties that make them hard to keep secure. has

been producing fine diamonds from fifty years. the company uses. a unique. counterfeit. has its limitations because. so the company. institutes for a more permanent solution. traditional. device . of creating a unique mobb deep within the diamond. is so fine that it's can't be seen with. the surface.

unfocused intensified hundreds of thousands of times inside the diamond this provides a concentration of energy required to turn the diamond into graphite. block providing the quiet for the. only way of removing its diamond into smaller stones which would trust the overall volume. of. jewelry. we have researched corrective. in cooperation with the central. running a series of projects to examine high energy physics. and others in our labs here . pinpoint precision of. lasers makes them ideal for nano surgery and grafting

prosthetics directly to bone they use is also 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 fish will 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 lots of buying in moscow's bellman 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. 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. just such a rousing words i was eager 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 the university's formula students car and printable solar panels that can be attached to pretty much anything meanwhile lurking in the depths of the unis and she 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 ups to life and then let's use this interact with

the b three d. to reveal the information embedded inside. elsewhere in moscow that in a star two thousand and thirteen final was held at the center of modern design innovations later that evening over three hundred students submitted their projects for consideration three one of the top three prizes and those who made it to the finals had to present their ideas light and was subjected to a grilling from the jury those who didn't quite make it to the final it was still on hand to show off their entries which included a unique. 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 under device to make sure you never get stung on your electricity bill is one thing receive an award for your innovation but once you spend your prize money you should go to tech crunch to try and find an investor

or not. change. 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 jump packed with people demo their wares vying for attention and hoping to get a spot on the hallowed district stage participants have three minutes to present their idea of charts investors and move on to the next round however one name that cropped up in a presentation about the messaging up stood out from the rest. 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 the movie off the ground. imparts modern pitches

require more than the traditional to teach chuckles sketches three d. animation to give a frame by frame idea of how the finished product should look pre-visualization is also help direct to 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 so that was. 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. it would understand and use the same language used by all still makers 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 complete with 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 busy 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 or cutting them out altogether introducing the faults 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 the three d. backgrounds 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 i'm 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. when you're still there 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 while 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 sites was the perfect place to test out the technology the simplified film pre-visualization software only requires text and smileys for the current system interact messenger's ease of use and logical progression from current communication trends mentality to must over seventeen thousand users in the first three weeks alone was 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. it's probably be released at the same time as a film to take advantage of. characters and images in it. up with well though we currently don't know what film it will probably be a big budget animation or adventure franchise but which comes. thus into the first touch after the break. there's a medium so we leave that maybe. bush is secure. the party is in the. shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politicking. our team.

this is st augustine. strategic mission to try. a longer covert team of journalists trying to release wiki leaks documents about see how the united states is trying to. be a global media more pro-american they encounter fear ignorance and pressure. the country blocks the way to information freedom. media stuff on our t.v. . these locals have been consol here 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. as an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines. now that is a bit of. a . place it was a. very hard to take out. once again on a cabin that has sex with the perfect there's no. one.

eh eh eh eh eh eh a. welcome back let's take a quick look at this month's tech news. bites. sales of the year to film 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 hundred held markets it also happens to be the first russian designed smartphone and the world's first l.c.d. and screen mobile display promises to prolong battery life and display information even when the phone's not out of battery and until device also has wide implications for russian innovation. we show that we can do it because three years ago probably a few people who believe the russian startup can bring this idea to the commercial product and get this type of success and interest we have around the clock we can create innovative products 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 yard forty two d. boasts over seventy instruments for monitoring pollution and radiation levels as was based particles can even juice rainfall in dry areas but his arsenal of silver

iodide disperses. a million martian meeting was held at the cosmonaut six memorial 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. and when you tell people about this project the first time they all think think that it's a little with crazy but then when you show them the very realist. all the people that are already involved. and the companies that slowly 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 university's latest developments in wearable tech. bring. 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 andrea pavol here are busy putting the xo athlete through its paces. first exoskeleton meaning it requires no external. help to carry loads of one hundred kilograms. of the cold i had inside the institute of mechanics where i found the technology has rather unusual roots. ventured into robotics way back in the seventy's and. 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 love was on a roll so why stop at just. robots 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 and adjust her gait according to incline and the institute of mechanics had big plans for muster two point zero but it. was if there

was talk of using. 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 uneven 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 its eyes on conquering 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 mustard court translated literally as mars walker which helped clear the path for human settlement just like masha the muscle hold would have been able to adjust its gait depending on the

surface and obstacles in its path however unlike mattia the muscle horse 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 conduct a 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 this experience 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 it's lucky but she electronics means that it requires little if any maintenance in the field naturally these advantages caught the attention of the russian defense ministry seba 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 mission crates and 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 ice. 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 need pick up the operator's intention and

swing the leg into action. i had to try one on for size it was a strange feeling pinstripes 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 a 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 more good we're obviously possible 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 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 up 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 engine 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 to helping the world. and making light work of heavy lifting so it looks like. a. technology here. and finding out what two thousand and fourteen. bring in the new year enjoy the ride.
