With Adaptive Motion, Robots Achieve Human-Like Dexterity from Minimal Data

Engineering, Invention, Robotics /

Although robotic automation is advancing quickly, most systems have difficulty adjusting their pre-trained movements to environments with objects that vary in stiffness or weight. To address this, a team of researchers in Japan has created an adaptive motion reproduction system based on Gaussian process regression. Their approach models the relationship between human motion and object

Poor Tooth Health May Be a Warning Sign for Early Mortality, Researchers Say

Dentistry, Healthcare /

Growing research suggests that tooth loss may be a warning sign of a higher risk of premature death, and recent findings indicate that the health of the remaining teeth also plays an important role. Researchers from the University of Osaka in Japan analyzed medical and dental data from 190,282 adults aged 75 and older. Each

A Supercomputer Builds one of the Most Lifelike Virtual Brains ever Created

Neuroscience, Science /

Understanding how the brain functions is challenging, since living brains are difficult to directly examine. To address this, scientists have developed an advanced simulation of a mouse brain, one of the most detailed models ever created. The project was led by researchers from the Allen Institute in the US and the University of Electro-Communications in

Microgravity Spaceflight Causes Astronauts’ Brains to Shift and Deform

Astronomy, Planetary Science /

Spaceflight places significant physical strain on astronauts, leading to muscle loss, bone thinning, and fluid shifts. A new study in PNAS shows that microgravity also causes the brain to change shape. On Earth, gravity helps hold the brain in position, while surrounding cerebrospinal fluid cushions it. Scientists have long known that without gravity the brain

Exercise Can Relieve Depression as Effectively as Antidepressants

Healthcare, Medicine /

Many people notice their mood improves after exercise, and a new review shows just how strong this effect can be. Even gentle activities such as walking or gardening may reduce depression symptoms as effectively as antidepressants or talking therapies. Andrew Clegg of the University of Lancashire says the findings reinforce exercise as a valid option

Data Reveal Cross-Regional Plastic Pollution in Green Sea Turtles

Biology, Ecology, Plants & Animals /

Researchers investigated the diet and plastic consumption of green sea turtles living in the waters near the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, finding plastics in 7 out of 10 turtles studied. By combining genetic, isotopic, and plastic analyses, they inferred that the plastics had come from regions outside the turtles’ usual migratory routes, highlighting the impact of

Kawasaki’s Four-legged Robotic Horse Vehicle is set to Enter Production

Applied Science, Robotics /

Kawasaki, which once described Corleo as a distant 2050 vision, has moved the hydrogen-powered, four-hooved robotic horse into production and plans to release the first model in just four years. We first covered the mountain-climbing concept last April, when it was little more than rough CGI. Kawasaki’s Safe Adventure Team plans public rides at Expo
