Science and technology, explained simply
The city council of a South Korean city has announced that its robot administrator committed suicide by jumping down a flight of stairs last week, with local media mourning the loss as the country’s first “suicidal robot.” According to witnesses, before the jump, the robot circled in one place for some time, indicating that something […]
Road maintenance is expensive and time-consuming, so the UK has developed an autonomous machine designed to detect and seal surface cracks on highways that could develop into potholes, which can save time and money. The robotic road maintenance system is based on artificial intelligence, which helps to accurately and autonomously detect and repair potholes and […]
Ukrainian engineers have developed an innovative robotic platform that can use ground penetrating radar to clear mines. Ground Penetrating Radar is an indispensable tool for demining, as it can scan the ground and detect invisible objects, including explosive devices and minefields. In order to ensure effective and safe demining, the engineers connected the GPR to […]
Live muscle tissue grown in the laboratory from rat cells by engineers helped the bipedal robot walk underwater without the use of motors. The muscles are driven by electrical signals that cause it to contract. In the future, the engineers plan to improve the design of the muscles so that they do not dry out […]
A group of Italian scientists presented an innovative robot inspired by nature and capable of growing like a living plant. This device is designed using biomimicry, which allows you to reproduce natural processes. The liana-like robot is able to expand and contract, and its structure resembles a flexible plant stem. The device can actively adapt […]
China-based LimX Dynamics has demonstrated for the first time the testing process of its CL-1 humanoid robot, which can walk, navigating the terrain in real time, and perform complex dynamic tasks such as climbing stairs. This was reported by Inceptive Mind. According to LimX Dynamics, CL-1 is one of the few humanoid robots in the […]
Specialists of the South Korean company Samsung presented an updated version of the Ballie home robot, which has been replenished with a large number of new features based on artificial intelligence algorithms. The robotic pet was presented at the CES 2024 event. In the video demonstrated by the developers, they showed one of the newest […]
Scientists have created a prototype of a robot snail that can help clean up the waters of the world’s oceans and any other bodies of water from harmful microplastics in the future. RBC-Ukraine (Styler project) reports on the new invention, citing the Cornell Chronicle. Why microplastics are dangerous Microgranules are considered to be primary microplastics, […]
A Tesla robot pinned down a software engineer and injured him at one of Giga Texas’ plants near Austin. This was reported by the Daily Mail. Two witnesses said that their colleague, an engineer, was attacked by a machine designed to move newly cast aluminum parts of a Tesla car. It is noted that the […]
Ukraine’s first robot assistants have appeared in ATB stores. Such a robot, unlike promotional stands, does not take up much space and does not interfere with the free movement of customers with carts. It is mobile and runs freely around the store. Delivery Cobot is equipped with a main screen (slightly larger than a regular […]
