The Skyrover S1 is reported to be the first a sub-249-g camera drone with forward obstacle avoidance. It also features 4K/60 video, a 3-axis gimbal, one-tap takeoff/landing, a 12-km transmission range, and a 40-minute flight time on a single charge.

AI has passed a new benchmark, scoring better than the average human on a recognized creativity test involving 100,000 people. But there's more to the story than the results, underpinning how difficult it is to put "creativity" in a measurable box.

If you grew up nerdy in the 90s, you'll likely have fond memories of the ubiquitous Sound Blaster range of desktop speakers and sound cards from hardware maker Creative. The company is making a splashy comeback with an ingenious gadget for your desktop.

A couple of year's back, audio gear brand Creative was the first company to pop solid-state speaker technology from xMEMS in a pair of wireless earphones. Now the company has added sound personalization to the mix.

How are you using new AI technology? Surely you're only deploying things like ChatGPT to summarize long texts or draft up mindless emails. But what are you losing by taking these shortcuts? And is this tech taking away our ability to think?

A clever team out to "turn unconventional ideas into practical and unique products" has crafted a lightweight, slimline notebook that lets you write, erase and write again, bridging the gap between traditional paper pads and digital note-taking apps.

Whether you're Lego-curious or a devotee of the church of the colored brick, this world-first app lets you capture your surroundings in unique model form like never before. And it does all the hard work, leaving you with the fun part – the build.

Generative AI systems need to be fed huge amounts of often copyrighted data. Musicians could soon fight back with HarmonyCloak, a system that embeds data into songs that can’t be picked up by human ears but will scramble AI trying to reproduce it.

Back in April, xMEMS Labs revealed solid-state technology aimed at replacing coil-based speakers in audio wearables like in-ear monitors. Now the company has partnered with Creative Technology for an upcoming pair of true-wireless earphones.

Just over 10 years ago, WobbleWorks took sketching into a new dimension when it launched a Kickstarter for its 3Doodler 3D-printing pen. Now the company is hoping to do the same for the world of baking with the ChefDoodler.

In this final part of our deep dive into the world of computational creativity, we turn to the underlying ideas and challenges that face the field as a whole as researchers grapple with questions of non-human creativity and public fears about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.

Algorithms can already produce remarkable architecture of incredible detail, that never would have been possible before computers and modern fabrication techniques. Now there are robotic craftsmen under development, that may soon add a touch of uniqueness to stock standard buildings.
