Credit: PixaobayResearchers have discovered that participating in activities intended to release anger, such as jogging or using a punching bag, is unlikely to effectively reduce anger. Instead, they recommend engaging in activities that lower physical arousal.Anger, an undesirable emotion for many, appears to be increasingly prevalent nowadays due to various factors. A Gallup poll...
A recent study on mice reveals that microplastics might lead to changes in behavior. Image credited by EuroNewsAccording to a fresh investigation, microplastics could be as prevalent inside the body as they are in the environment.In the study, scientists exposed mice to varying amounts of microplastics through drinking water and observed how these particles...
The Lenovo Daystar Bot GS six-legged robodog is penciled in for a 2024 launch in AsiaLenovo/iF DesignWhen searching for a robotic dog for warehouse patrol, Lenovo may not be the first brand that comes to mind. Yet, Lenovo's Shanghai innovations lab has actively engaged in robot development for a significant duration. While the latest...
Credit: PixaobayThe sensation of hairs standing on end, the cold sensation in the stomach, the rapid heartbeat triggered by a sudden movement in the shadows—these experiences evoke fear. Fear, while capable of causing distress and discomfort, can also be oddly exhilarating. However, it serves a crucial purpose as an instinctual reaction to danger, potentially...
Thanks to a collaboration between Figure and OpenAI, the Figure 01 humanoid robot can now converse with people in real-time, and act on requests to do stuffFigureIn a recent video release, Figure showcased the initial outcome of its partnership with OpenAI to augment the abilities of humanoid robots. The Figure 01 robot is shown...
The robot is currently connected to an external air pump, but that won't be the case with future iterations University of Southern DenmarkDanish researchers have created an origami snake-like robot capable of potentially conducting search and rescue missions at disaster sites or exploring other planets in the future. The robot moves using rectilinear locomotion, mimicking...
Digit is currently being trialed as a way to relieve workers of difficult repetitive tasks, not relieve them of their jobs, says AmazonAgility RoboticsTall, proficient, and resembling insects to some extent, a fleet of Digit robots is currently navigating vacant bins within an Amazon research and development facility. This trial marks the initial phase...
Timepix3 was originally designed for particle detection for giant accelerators like the one at CERNCERNTransitioning from colossal 26 km (16 miles) particle accelerators to operating rooms for brain surgeries, a particle detector initially engineered by physicists at CERN is now employed by researchers in Germany to enhance the precision and safety of brain tumor...
Scientists are creating a robotic exoskeleton platform to address the constraints of treadmills utilized in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors experiencing walking difficulties.
Punyo is a torso-up soft humanoid robot designed to pick things up using its arms, chest and shoulders instead of just its handsToyota Research InstituteThe majority of humanoid robots typically use their hands to pick up objects, but this method doesn't mimic human behavior accurately, especially when dealing with bulky items. Humans utilize not...
