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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Drones will help fight illegal fishing 25.08.2018

Moroccan tech startup ATLAN Space is launching a pilot project in October to use unmanned aerial vehicles to combat illegal fishing in the territorial waters of the Seychelles. The project will use both fixed-wing, gasoline-powered drones to monitor large areas, and electric quadcopters if necessary.

ATLAN Space is developing artificial intelligence (AI) to control autonomous drones to scan large areas for "environmental crimes" such as illegal fishing, poaching or deforestation.

Funding for a pilot project to combat illegal fishing in the Seychelles will come from a $150 National Geographic grant that ATLAN Space won in June.

According to Badr Idrissi, CEO and co-founder of ATLAN Space, the drones will be armed with information about illegal fishing areas popular among poachers. Once the drone detects a vessel, the AI will help it determine if the object is a cruise ship, tanker, or fishing vessel. The drone will then determine if the object is in a Marine Conservation Protected Area and if it is an eligible fishing vessel.

If it is determined that the activity of this vessel is illegal, the drone will determine its location, identification number and number of people on board and transmit this information to the relevant authorities via satellite communications.

At present, African governments use light aircraft or coastal patrol vessels for this type of observation. The use of drones will reduce surveillance costs and enable the Coast Guard to focus on intercepting poachers. Idrissi said that the damage to the countries of the coast of West Africa from illegal fishing is $ 2,3 billion a year.
