Is facial recognition actually secure? | 1X Neo robot & ultraviolette X-47 review | Tech Today
UPDATED: Jul 21, 2026 15:18 IST
In this episode of Tech Today, we go beyond the hype to explore how rapidly advancing technology, from artificial intelligence to robotics, is quietly rewriting the rules of our daily lives, safety, and privacy.
What you’ll find in this episode:
Decoding Digital Identity: Your face is becoming the new universal key, unlocking everything from phones and bank accounts to airport gates. We break down the science behind facial recognition, how systems distinguish you from others, why 3D hardware like Apple’s TrueDepth is vastly superior to standard cameras, and the complex privacy trade-offs we make when our biometric data becomes our password. We also discuss the debate surrounding Digi Yatra and mass surveillance, and why storing your data locally is the gold standard for security.
The Rise of Home Robotics: We’ve been promised helpful household robots for decades, but the Neo 1X is finally making it real. Unlike rigid, factory-bound machines, Neo is designed with a "gentle grip" cable-driven system, foam-wrapped safety features, and human-like movement. We explore how imitation learning and remote VR operators are training these machines, the reality of their four-hour battery life, and whether you should actually trust a humanoid with your chores today.
The Ultraviolette X-47: Forget just measuring horsepower and top speed. We put the Ultraviolette X-47 electric crossover to the test to see if it’s truly "intelligent." With built-in 200-meter radar for blind-spot monitoring, an always-on dual-camera dashcam system, and deep app connectivity, this bike feels less like a traditional motorcycle and more like a computer on wheels. We find out if this software-first approach actually makes riding safer, smoother, and more futuristic.

CJP protest turns violent, over 50 security personnel injured in stone-pelting

Two police buses were attacked, shops on Janpath were allegedly vandalised, more than 50 security personnel were injured, and over 70 people were detained. Police registered multiple FIRs and began reviewing CCTV and mobile-phone footage.

The government gave no assurance, asked protesters to end the sit-in, and said there were no plans for forcible eviction. The programme also tracks Parliament adjournments as opposition parties demanded a discussion on NEET and paper leaks.
