Your Future Robot Helper!
Weave's New Personal Robot “Isaac” Set to Revolutionize Household Chores
Weave introduced “Isaac” a multifunctional personal robot made in California, launching in fall 2025.
Isaac can handle tasks like tidying up, folding laundry, and organizing spaces autonomously.
It can be controlled via voice, text, or an app, with a privacy-focused camera that stows away when not in use.
The race for intelligent personal robot assistants is intensifying, with major players like Tesla, 1X, and Weave entering the market. By 2025, these robots might become common in homes, potentially transforming how we manage daily chores.

iPhone 16 New AI Features!
Apple is unveiling iPhone 16 series right now.
Two key features, Image Playground and Genmoji, both part of Apple Intelligence, are set to launch later this year with the iOS 18.2 update.
Image Playground and Genmoji are among Apple’s new software tools powered by the Apple Intelligence AI kit. Image Playground lets users create AI-generated visuals, including animations, illustrations, and sketches.
Genmoji allows users to create custom emojis through text commands. These emojis can reflect a user’s mood or status and are fully customizable. Once created, they can be used in messages just like regular emojis. Apple also plans to offer the Genmoji API to developers, allowing them to integrate this feature into their apps.
The initial Apple Intelligence features will be available with iOS 18.1, likely in October. These features include tools for writing and summarizing texts, summarizing notifications, suggesting replies in Messages, recording and transcribing phone calls, and a Clean Up tool in Photos for removing unwanted objects.
Apple Intelligence will be accessible on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, but due to hardware limitations, the regular iPhone 15 models won’t support these AI features.

This innovation could revolutionize how students and researchers consume academic content, making it more accessible and engaging by turning dense papers into easy-to-digest audio formats.
