WSK 4th Batch Orientation and 3rd Batch Award

bismillah..

Akhirnya update jg nih blog.. hehe. soal awarding WSK..

Video di atas hasil kompilasi dari tim koreabrand merangkum kegiatan kita di acara orientasi batch ke-4 dan penganugerahan batch ke-3.

Acaranya tidak jauh berbeda dengan acara orientasi batch ke-3 , kita diantar tour keliling museum, meski saya masih harus katakan tidak sedetil batch kemarin.. guide-nya menjelaskan dengan intensif yg tahun kemarin. Kalau batch ini.. cuma sekilas2 dan gak sampai ke lantai ke-3… ada beberapa hal tak sempat terjelaskan.. hehe.

Postingan yang batch kemarin bisa dilihat di sini(part 1) dan di sini(part 2)

Gua ada di belakang… gak keliatan.. disamping neng Sali ^^

Dan ini adalah poto saat penyerahan hadiah.. hehe

Kayaknya gitu aja post kali ini.. mau lanjut ngerjain kodingan.. mungkin bergadang lagi.. :S

sedang mempertimbangkan untuk kerja di WI di weekend.. mungkin.

Sebagai bonus.. berikut video perjalanan Camp batch ke-4.. enjoy… 🙂

++++update++++

Gua dapet pengganti .. yg lebih baik.. 🙂

insya Allah..

USB 4G .. better than the last time.. 2G.. 😀

[WSK] The Times 50 Best Inventions of 2010

The Paris Motor Show, one of the world’s four major auto shows, was held from October 2 to 17, 2010 at the Paris Expo. If the Geneva Motor Show in March introduces newly launched cars of the year, then the Paris Motor Show in the autumn showcases models that are to be launched the year after.

 

The theme of the Paris Motors Show 2010 was “eco-friendly.” Eco-friendly has now become such a preval!ent trend worldwide, especially with the EU’s reinforcement of regulations regarding carbon emissions control.

 

 

Eco-friendly vehicle invented by KAIST

 

The Online Electric Vehicle (dubbed OLEV) manufactured by the Korea Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) was included in the 50 Best Inventions of 2010 published by The Times, along with Apple’s iPad, Google’s Driverless Car, Sony’s Alpha A55 Camera and others. Also included was the English-Teaching Robot invented by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).

 

 

 

 

In the OLEV are embedded electric power strips that provide electromagnetic power to the vehicle, wirelessly, charging an onboard battery and powering the bus’s electric motor.

 

The Times introduced the OLEV as an advanced green growth technology that could speed up the commercialization of electric cars and also as the world’s one and only online electric vehicle.

 

The system’s creators at the KAIST say, “The technology not only eliminates pollution, but also alleviates the problems usually associated with hybrid vehicles such as heavy batteries, lengthy charging and limited range.”

 

 

Korean technology opens up a new horizon

 

The OLEV has been on a test operation since last March at the Seoul Amusement Park. It was also presented during the G20 Seoul Summit in November in front of COEX, garnering outstanding reviews. Furthermore, the vehicle is scheduled to be featured next month in the TV program “Into the Future” of Discovery channel.

 

The OLEV received mixed reviews in the early stage of its development. Although it is an innovative technology that was meant to pursue both green growth and economic profit, some voiced the car’s low practicality as the cost of planting electric power strips under the pavements would be quite steep. Nonetheless, its inclusion in The Times list is without a doubt a distinct acknowledgement of its potential.

 

 

The English-Teaching Robot

 

The other Korean item that made in the Times list is the English-Teaching Robot nick-named “Mero,” developed by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).

 

 

 

 

The robots can move in any direction and can follow human facial expression!s. They are not only effective teachers, but the students also enjoy interacting with their new, fun, and cool school “staff.”

 

While the robots are used primarily in support roles for real human teachers, the Time Magazine called them a “job terminator,” saying they could potentially replace the native speakers currently employed in Korean schools.

 

Although there remain issues of economic feasibility as well as ethics, both inventions indicate excellent capacity of Korean universities as future leaders of world science and technology.
