Growing global fruit and vegetables worry free
Globally US$30b worth of fruit and vegetable production is lost due to fruit fly, and US$18b in global trade is threatened by the pest. RapidAIM provides a service of real-time alerts for the presence and location of fruit fly using wireless trapping technology. This immediate data-driven decision service allows biosecurity agencies, growers and agronomists to respond rapidly to fruit fly detection to control the pest. RapidAim has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate2/RapidAIM

A real time solution for detecting gold
The gold content of mineral samples cannot be detected in the field, costing explorers time, money and productivity. DetectORE technology delivers a simple, cost-effective real time solution for detecting gold in remote locations, transforming the current workflow. Geologists will now be able to sample, analyse and generate ?real time? results, giving them the ability to modify work plans ?on the fly? and in the process efficiently manage people, equipment, time and costs. DetectORE has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO.http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate3/DetectORE

Technology that can read your emotions
A vast number of tech companies are now offering "emotion analysis" products. These products are designed to analyse an individual's face in order to determine how they are feeling. The emotion detection system is a mix between two technologies, the first is a computer vision which sees a person's face and detects its features. The next is through AI which analyses this information to determine how this person is feeling. https://futurism.com/the-byte/emotion-detect-system-getting-job
