You guys remember Rob Percival , right? This self-described “ code geek ” is a veteran programmer who really just loves teaching people how to code. A Cambridge grad with a degree in Mathematics, Rob got into building websites by just making them for his friends for fun. However, he soon learned that this was an immensely profitable skillset , and he wanted to share this knowledge with others. Every summer he runs a Coding Camp for local kids, and his online courses are some of the most popular around.

LG is planning to show “advanced robot technologies” at CES 2017 next week to showcase new innovations in artificial intelligence. The robots aren’t your run-of-the-mill smart toasters or vacuum bots either, with some being designed for public use outdoors. If you’re getting visions of K-2So, you’re probably on the right track. There looks to be three new AI bots on the way, one for use at home, serving as a “smart home gateway” and personal assistant for owners: think, I, Robot . Another model “will demonstrate new capabilities for tending to one’s yard and garden”: think, The Lawnmower Man . The third, and perhaps most interesting type of robot LG has lined up includes “models designed for commercial use in public spaces such as airports and hotels to help improve the traveler’s experience”: think, Johnny Cab in Total Recall .

Other rumored BLU Vivo XL2 specs include a 5.5-inch display, undisclosed MediaTek chipset, 3,150 mAh battery, microSD expansion and a single camera and flash on the back. The images at the FCC look a lot like the Vivo XL2 will have a glossy polycarbonate finish and there’s still a speaker grill at the bottom edge on the back. Capacitive buttons still appear on the front of the device and while the bezels may look quite thin, remember BLU surr
