When People Actively Listen to Speech, their Eye Movements Decrease

5 Comments / Applied Science, Neuroscience, Science / Jorge Paka

After reaching a specific age, around 40% of individuals encounter varying levels of hearing impairment. Although age-related hearing loss is most common among adults aged 65 and above, it can commence as early as one’s 40s or 50s. Despite the widespread use of current diagnostic methods, they may not always identify initial signs of hearing

A Dog-Like Robot Runs Autonomously Once Started

Robotics, Science / Jorge Paka

In recent times, there has been a surge in quadruped “robotic dogs,” but they typically rely on control motors to sustain their running movements. In contrast, a novel experimental version continues to run independently after being initiated. A Canadian robotics student named Mickaël Achkar developed the device at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute by utilizing motion-capture

Initially, Robots Lead to a Decline in Company Profits

Applied Science, Robotics, Science / Jorge Paka

Research conducted by the University of Cambridge reveals that the impact of robots on company profits follows a ‘U-shaped’ pattern. Initially, as companies adopt robots at low levels, their profit margins tend to decline. However, as robot adoption increases, profit margins start to rise again, eventually leading to higher profits. An Analysis of Industry Data
