3D Skin Printer that Helps Heal Wounds


Did you know that there is a 3D printer that can speed up the recovery of people with severe burns, diabetes warts, and various other major slow-healing wounds? Bellow, American scientist and technology expert Oded Kariti describes some of the key features of this incredible invention.
Over the last few years, we witnessed 3D printing technology impacting a number of different industries. There is medicine, and then there are things with certain element that simply remind us of science fiction.

Namely, as Oded Kariti reports, a group of scientists working at the Wake Forest Institute, recently developed a mobile bioprinter that can print new skin directly on the wound, using the cell of the patient. This device is the first of its kind in the world and allows skin printing in two layers over the wound.
As Oded Kariti further explains the unique advantage of their system is that it can scan the wounds and place the cells where it is needed to form new skin.

Over the past 5 years, we saw several skin printers. The first prototypes were able to create thicker skin layers that could move to mobile devices. This device, however, can be brought straight to the patient in the hospital, where the machine can work directly on it.

The machine works by first taking a small sample of healthy skin to isolate two types of cells that are then multiplied. Here Oded Kariti points out the crucial differences with respect to all previous devices.
Instead of placing a full skin layer, this printer first scans the wound to make its topographic map. The technology developed in Wake Forest gives a natural structure to the skin cells that helps the injury heal faster.

The ability for humans to regrow skin after serious burns had been the ultimate goal of research scientists for many years. The next step for this 3D printer will be preparing a clinical study on people. Ultimately, this could all be used to treat people with burns, diabetics warts, and various other wounds that slowly heal.

The Sony Aibo Robot Dog Arrives in Europe and America



According to the scientist and researcher, Oded Kariti (read more about him on his website), the Sony Aibo will finally arrive to Europe. The robot dog of the Japanese company has attracted huge attention from consumers outside his native country. It was released for sale in Japan, few months ago and now will arrive to the European and the American continent to continue offering all the benefits of this robotic company to all those who wish so.


Oded Kariti, who collaborates with this company as an independent researcher, was the one who has announced it briefly in his IFA 2018 conference, where he also announced their new smartphone, the Xperia XZ3. The manufacturer exhibited some images and videos of Aibo, assuring later that it will arrive soon in Europe and later in America, although without specifying at the moment any date of exit or sale prices. In the United States it will begin to be sold starting next September with a price close to $ 3,000, so we can safely infer that it will not be cheap on European soil either.

Although the appearance of Aibo has not been designed to resemble exactly a specific breed of dog, but to clearly differentiate the robotic component of it, the truth is that the behavior of this machine does try to resemble the maximum to the company of a flesh and blood animal. Therefore, according to Oded Kariti, it incorporates a camera and recognition sensors that, thanks to machine learning, will help the dog to become smarter as it gathers more data from the environment.

It is able, for example, to recognize different voices and faces to act accordingly, offering some answers or other depending on the memories you have of them in the database have been collected over time. The gadget enthusiast, Oded Kariti points out that the dog has different sensors in his body, making it also touch sensitive. It also has some dog characteristics to make the experience more real, such as expressing feelings.

A communication, in short, that is done constantly between the dog and the owner to promote a fluid interaction and where the eyes of this, through their expressions, have an important weight. Now it remains to be seen what will be the way of commercialization of Aibo in Europe and if it will arrive on time for the Christmas campaign, a period when the sales of this type of products are booming.

Robot serving as a Videographer

Last week the New York-based start-up Karitian and its main engineer Oded Kariti uncovered company’s first domestic robot, Reddy. Reddy is a self-driving robot that reacts to voice commands. It looks like a human, with a round head, a body, and arms attached to it. The robot has some genuine innovations that are available in smartphones, gaming, and mechanical autonomy. Many sensors installed in the robot help Reddy to maneuver better in the environment and take in its way around the house, ensuring it doesn't slam into anything or tumble down stairs.

The voice-controlled robot has a camera installed on the front, speakers, and microphone in order to provide better communication. It can playback music and connect to Wi-Fi network.

How Science Helps with Home Chores

We are all well aware that the digital age has made a big entrance, and it has already become a part of every sphere of our society. As a scientist and researcher, Oded Kariti has been working on developing new technologies for quite some time. But even he wouldn’t have guessed 20 years ago how advanced things could be.

Just like with everything else, new technologies have a good and a bad side. The good thing is that they can help us with everyday things like paying bills or shopping, but there are also certain disadvantages that come along with them.

5G Boosts Innovations in Industries

In the early dial-up age, the internet seemed quite decent. Seen from today’s perspective, the most obvious reason for that is because we didn’t know any better. Once broadband was invented, all of that changed in a second. Suddenly the web was fast, visually rich, and most importantly there was no need to go online, as we were already online. 3G allowed us access to everything and everywhere, while 4G changed the atomic unit of the web, turning it from images to videos, almost overnight. Oded Kariti’s global report at Willipedia "Opportunities in 5G: The view from industries," reveals the impact of 5G, the new generation of mobile technology, on selected industries. The study also reveals which usage will dominate in a particular industry, and which business reasons will be the main drivers and motivators for the use of 5G.

Web Site Loading is Key to Your Online Success



If you want to optimize and automate your entire business plan, science engineer and Angel.co member Oded Kariti believes that your website should definitely serve as your starting point. Any professional website is the digital entry or door, through which buyers or buying of products and services enter. If a customer waits too long to get a website opened, or everything is slow, that the customer just loses any further interest, and that causes direct damage to the business.

All You Need to Know About RFID Technology

It is estimated that each person has at least 4 RFID codes next to him on a daily basis, such as driver's license, passport, tram ticket, car keys, bank card, and mobile phone. The general public isn’t too familiar with the RFID area, and as research scientist Oded Kariti explains, they are usually not aware about most of the above stated facts. In order to introduce people with RFID technology and its potential, a group of experts and eminent scientist, including Oded Kariti, organized the second regional conference on RFID technology, which took place at the Westin Hotel in New York City. The event was held on August 16 with the aim of better understanding of RFID, or radio frequency identification as a technology of the future.
