Para cerrar el mes de octubre y la temporada spooky, hicimos el triple llamado al bioexorcista más famoso (y probablemente único) de todos los tiempos: BEETLEJUICE. Hablemos de su primera entrega, estrenada en 1988, y su esperada secuela BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE de 2024. En este episodio, analizamos las diferencias entre las tramas de ambas películas, desde la peculiaridad de la historia original hasta las nuevas aventuras que nos presentan los personajes en la secuela. Hablaremos de los momentos más memorables de cada filme, esos que nos hicieron reír y cantar. Además, exploraremos la evolución de los personajes después del trauma: ¿cómo han cambiado Lydia y Delia Deetz en este nuevo capítulo? También nos adentraremos en el uso de efectos prácticos en ambas entregas, destacando el estilo único de Burton y cómo ha influido en el cine de terror y comedia. Por supuesto, no podemos dejar de mencionar las actuaciones del elenco, desde las icónicas interpretaciones de Michael Keaton y Winona Ryder hasta las nuevas incorporaciones que prometen sorprendernos. ¡Prepárate para un viaje lleno de risas y nostalgia en este especial sobre Beetl--! Ya olvidamos cuántas veces hemos dicho su nombre. No olvides dejar tus comentarios sobre tu experiencia viendo estas películas, y síguenos en redes sociales para más contenido cinéfilo.

A startup called Beetl is developing an autonomous device that’s ready to clean up after our dogs on demand, thanks to a large scooper on its underside. If they’re willing to do this job, maybe robots aren’t trying to conquer us after all. Plus: "dogfishing" is a problem for online dating. People are using other people's dogs in their profile pics in the hopes it will land them more dates. The internet is weird.

Just as soon as we cover a poop-scooping robot, the fleshy beasts could be rendered obsolete by a new robot dog from researchers at Florida Atlantic University. Researchers took the SpotMini from Boston Dynamics, mounted a 3D printed Doberman pinscher head on it, and gave it a brain. Astro was outfitted with a deep neural network, or digital brain, and is being trained to act like a dog. It can understand simple commands like stand, go forward, stop and, the classic, sit. The 100-pound robot has more than a dozen onboard sensors, radar imaging, cameras and a directional microphone it uses to navigate. It also has a pair of kill-crazy digital eyes. Next, the researchers are working on training Astor to understand hand commands, detect colors, understand multiple languages and coordinate with drones. You can imagine a pack of these things autonomously coordinating search and rescue efforts with a swarm of drones. The dog will have facial recognition as well, being able to identify people as well as other dogs. Other potential missions include detecting guns, explosives and gun residue. Nothing on excretion yet. Maybe the Beetl can be retrofitted to clean up oil spots.
Beetl Robotics wants to provide best-in-class robots using its expertise in cloud networking, computer vision and mechanical design. So naturally, they turned to poop scooping. According to Beetl, more than 35 million households in the US have dogs and backyards. The team designed a robot that uses computer vision and advanced sensor fusion to clean up after them. And if it works, we'll that's one hell of a market. The Beetl seems to work similar to a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. It deploys from a base and patrols a virtual map of the yard. Beetl finds the mess, deploys a clamshell jaw to clasp it, and then a trimmer to cut any grass that's coming along for the ride or otherwise stuck. It also uses cloud-based AI to adapt and learn from each scoop, because no two scoops are ever going to be the same. I don't know, I still say that if you can't clean up after it, you shouldn't have the dog, but maybe I’ve finally aged into common sense.
This week we're looking to nature to solve some of today's biggest problems - from climate change to water shortages. We hear how spiders hold the key to making the strongest material known to man and how insect ears have inspired the world's smallest microphone. Plus, why Bruce Willis might be making you fat, the Arctic ice sheets that are melting despite headlines to the contrary, and why thousands of languages are on the brink of extinction...
