Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
Petgugu Global cat litter
15.04.2024
Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
The attractiveness of caring men
14.04.2024
The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Soft robots like insects
20.04.2020
Engineers at the University of California San Diego (USA) have developed a new method for creating soft, flexible robots using 3D printing, which does not require special equipment and allows you to create soft components for robots faster and cheaper.
They changed the way soft robots are built: instead of figuring out how to add soft materials to a hard robot body, they first created a soft robot body and then added hard parts to key components. The structure of the new robot is similar to the exoskeleton of insects, which have both soft and hard parts. The researchers called their skeletal model "flexoskeleton".
Flexoskeletons are 3D printed from a rigid material on a thin sheet that acts as a flexible base. The most successful material for printing was a sheet of polycarbonate. Printing and assembly of the robot, according to the researchers, takes no more than two hours.
The new method makes it possible to create large groups of robots from flexoskeletons with minimal manual assembly, as well as to assemble a library of Lego-like components so that parts of the robot can be easily changed.
The ultimate goal is to create an assembly line that prints complete flexoskeleton robots and eliminates manual assembly altogether. A swarm of these little robots can do as much work as one massive robot or more.
