To the US now and the story of an AI computer engineer who wanted to be able to remotely control his new robot vacuum cleaner. And so he used his skills to link it to a PlayStation game controller. But by doing that he accidentally gained access to thousands of the vacuum devices. He could not only just control them but could see their live camera feeds in thousands of people's homes. The technology journalist Marianne Russon told us more about what happened.

Tech journalist Mary Ann Russon. At 91 years old, Rose Wiley is making art history by becoming the first female British painter to have a solo exhibition in the main galleries of London's famous Royal Academy. Her paintings are big, bold and bright. And she takes her inspiration from cinema, history and sports, including the likes of footballers Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry and Brazilian icon Ronaldinho.

She also famously depicted the award-winning actress Nicole Kidman in a one-strap dress from a photo she saw of her at a film premiere. The BBC's culture editor Katie Razzall went to meet her.

I love this kind of thing. I love things going up on walls. She's the rebel painter of the British art world. And now Rose Wiley's watching her paintings being lifted into position in the Royal Academy. Over there is a painting of me. That's the first me painting with grey hair. Self-portrait? Yes. Somewhat incredibly, Wiley is the first female British painter to have a solo exhibition in the Royal Academy's main galleries in its more than 250 year history.

Do you think the art world is still male-centric? Men's paintings are still much higher than women's. There's something very wrong with that.

It's not like sport, where men are more powerful, and therefore maybe they play a more powerful game. I mean, in painting, it's like writing. There's no gender difference in terms of how we tackle anything. The image, the size, the amount of paint, it's not gender specific. So the fact that men will get more should be fixed. Rose Wiley's own paintings are now highly valued, but her career only really took off when she was in her 70s.

In the studio in Kent, where she's worked for more than 40 years, paint-spattered newspapers cover the floor. She starts with drawings and uses photographs and other visual images as references and inspiration for her work. I don't want to do an illustration. I'm not a copyist. I work, I transform. It takes a lot of paint.

Olemme nyt 91-vuotiaana, jolla on valmistelukat, jotka haluavat olla 16-vuotiaana. Olet loistava pussikat. Olet tosi iloinen.

Wiley didn't paint for many years while she raised her family, but she'd started as a child growing up in the Blitz. I had a little green metal paint box with proper paints. I used to spend my pocket money on refills. What do you think that little girl would think now of her adult self and all the success? It would blow the little child's mind. It's not something you think about, particularly art students of the 50s. We were not grounded in being successful.

I hate to be ageist, but people definitely think this is the work of a young artist. They do say that. You are right. Not in a negative way, though, in a positive way. No, it's positive. I'm perfectly happy when they say it. Who wants to paint like an old person? It's fresher. Back in the Royal Academy, her big, bold, irreverent canvases chronicle her life and inspirations, including doodlebugs from the Blitz, actresses like Nicole Kidman...

ja Quentin Tarantino-filmiin. Tarkoitan, että Kill Billin yliopiston loppu on loppunut. Siinä oli mahtava kuvio, jossa naisi ongelmaa ylös, ja hänen kärsivänsä. Se muistutti minua renaissancefantasiin. Se ei ole todellista, mutta Tarantinojen väli ei ole todella todellista.

Is it true you like painting at night? I often go into the night. It's not a plan. What sort of time do you paint to then? 20 to 4. It's probably my notice, but it's not normal. Often it's more like 1.30. And do you get tired? No, you don't notice. But then I get up terribly late. So I'm not losing sleep. So you're basically living the life of a teenager? Well, perhaps.
